- The .44 S&W Russian is a centerfire revolver cartridge that was first introduced in 1870 by Smith & Wesson. It was originally designed for use in the Smith & Wesson Model 3 revolver, which was a popular choice among law enforcement officers and civilians during the late 19th century.
The .44 S&W Russian cartridge has a bullet diameter of .429 inches (10.9 mm) and a case length of 0.97 inches (24.6 mm). It is a relatively low-powered cartridge, with a muzzle velocity of around 750 feet per second (230 m/s) and a muzzle energy of around 300 foot-pounds (410 J).
Although the .44 S&W Russian is no longer a commonly used cartridge, it played an important role in the development of the .44 Magnum cartridge, which is a more powerful and versatile cartridge that has become a popular choice for handgun hunters and enthusiasts.
