'''.44 Special''' is a type of [[ammunition]] for firearms. It is classified as a <span style="color:#0000AA">'''(P)'''</span>istol caliber.
.44 Special is pronounced ''forty-four Special''.
This caliber may also be known as '''.44 S&W Special''' (its former full name), '''.44 Spc''', '''.44 Spl''', and more rarely '''10.9x29mm R'''. It may also be referred to as simply '''.44''', but it is not recommended, as it may be confused with the other .44 caliber cartridges in the game.
= Compatibility =
== Base weapons ==
There are '''4''' base weapons chambered in this caliber.
'''[[Class 3 weapons]]:'''
* [[Charter Arms Bulldog]]
* [[Smith & Wesson Model 24]]
* [[Smith & Wesson Model 296 Airlite]]
* [[Taurus Model 431]]
== Cross-caliber compatibility ==
.44 Special can be seen as a shorter version of [[.44 Magnum]]; both cartridges have the exact same dimensions other than case length. In turn, this allows many .44 Magnum firearms to be loaded with .44 Special, increasing the versatility of these firearms.
There are '''8''' .44 Magnum firearms than can also accept .44 Special:
'''[[Class 1 weapons]]:'''
* [[Marlin Model 1894]]
'''[[Class 3 weapons]]:'''
* [[Astra Terminator]]
* [[Colt Anaconda]]
* [[Ruger Super Blackhawk]]
* [[Smith & Wesson Model 29]]
* [[Taurus Model 444 Ultra-Lite]]
* [[Taurus Raging Bull M444]]
* [[Super LeMat]] (Caliber Mode 1, crafting-only)
