Hi, bought the M-44 using the electronic check which took about 2 weeks to get here. What looks like a nice semi-gloss finish is in reality a flat dark grey. Fresh out of the box it is headed back to Taurus for cyl. timing and loose lockup of same. Live a

Great gun period, not just for the money. Above average DA trigger pull, and the porting does help with muzzle flip on the shorter barrel. Enough weight for shooting comfort but not too heavy for carry.

Very disappointed. Right out of the box the cylinder gets hung up when shooting single action. Happens about every 5th time you use the hammer to advance the cylinder. Issue seems to be design flaw as the cylinder will start to try to turn before the cyli

Fit and finish are fine. Not a high end gun and certainly not bad. Just as I expected. Kick is huge, it is a 44 magnum. Great service with Bud's. I will recommend both the Taurus 44ss and Buds.

44 special??

Unknown 6 years ago

Absolutely yes Colby. The lower pressure 44Special will be much softer shooting compared to the 44Magnum loads.

Unknown 6 years ago

the raging bull is a much stronger heavier gun ( it can be had in the 454 Casull) the RB will be much easier to shoot in 44 mag due to the weight and it is the Taurus top of the line revolver

Unknown 6 years ago

Hi Talbert, the 444 is built on a larger/thicker frame with heavier barrel and is capable of handling higher pressure 44Mag loads if shot on a regular basis with less wear to the frame. Just think of the 444 as a slightly larger beefed up 44 model.
