What’s Included
- Taurus Model 44 .44 Magnum revolver
The Model 44 is a steel-frame, DA/SA .44 Magnum revolver with an exposed hammer and a six-shot fluted cylinder. The frame, barrel, and cylinder wear a bright polished metal finish, giving the gun a uniform, reflective appearance across major components.
Its 8.375 inch steel barrel is a heavy profile with a full-length underlug. A ventilated top rib with rectangular lightening slots runs the length of the barrel, and the muzzle is ported with two rows of round gas ports.
Sighting equipment includes adjustable iron sights: a pinned ramp front with a red/orange insert and a fully adjustable rear. Controls are thoughtfully detailed with a checkered cylinder latch and a knurled ejector rod tip.
The revolver wears black rubber finger-groove grips with Taurus medallions. Markings include "TAURUS INT. MFG., MIAMI, FL - USA" and "MADE IN BRAZIL," with internal stamps "44" on the frame lug and "6377" on the crane, consistent with factory assembly identifiers.
