44 magnum and 44 special.
Yes. The 44 special is a bit shorter than the 44 magnum, so it will fit in the cylinder of the 44 mag. The reverse won't work, however. A 44 mag cannot be fired in a revolver chambered for the 44 special because the 44 mag is too long and won't fit in the cylinder of the 44 special.
your colt is of modern manufacture period. it will take the 44 mag. cartridge 'IF' the barrel has 44 mag. written on it. Or, it could be a 44 special, also written, whereby you cannot use 44 Mag. cartridge. However, if it is a 44 mag. cartridge, then you can shoot modern 44 mag. cartridges OR 44 special cartridges............
On my new 92 made by Mrikou it says 44mag only printed on the barrel. the 44 special is shorter so I can't see why it would be a problem,
Both are the same diameter but the case for the.44 Special. is 1.160 inches long while the .44 mag. case is 1.285 inches long. so, the shorter .44 Special will fit into the .44 mag chamber but not the other way around. It is exactly the same as with the .357 mag. and the .38 Special
44 special and 44 magnum only
Yes
Yes, and it is more comfortable to shoot than .44 Mag. Clean the cylinder chambers well after shooting to prevent carbon buildup ahead of the cartridges.
.44 Magnum is the more powerful cartridge.
If the Anaconda is a .44 Magnum, yes, you can shoot .44 Special in it all day. Also .44 S&W American and .44 Russian if you are of a mind.
No! They will not even fit in the chamber.
It may not feed well, but can be shot.
