Thats exactly why I don't like short barrel 44's. Its a tool with a big job in mind.
Ruger's answer to S&W's new "L" 44mag????

To their credit Taurus spent their R&D money and manufacturing time demonstrating what cartridges and styles of 5 shot big bores will sell. S&W tagged along behind the Judges and Tracker .44 magnum. Alaskans and 2 3/4" RHs followed S&W lead so perhaps if Ruger can design a GP 100 that maintains their safety margin in .44 magnum we might see one someday.
No DA .44 special has stayed on the market very long since S&W finally moved the last of their N frame .44specials out of storage in the mid 1960s. .44 special is a great reloaders cartridge but factory cartridges that have to stay within SAAMI psi never stimulated great sales number and never will.

I see no logical, legitimate reason for this to be a concern for Ruger......or anybody else but the anonymous internet armchair legal team. :roll:

And yet the .45Colt is more popular now than it ever was.k22fan said:

I'm still hoping that Ruger will come out with a 3 inch da/sa .44 spl in a frame not too much bigger than a SP101 to to fit my "digitally challenged" hands. One of my daily carries is a 3" SP, and it fits like a glove ... I would love to have the same fit and feel in a "constructed to caliber" .44 spl. Sadly, at 61 yrs old, I doubt it will happen for me.

.45 Colt has fame from U.S. military usage, a zillion Hollywood shows, and its SAMMI spec loads are more powerful than .44 special. Cowboy action has not hurt it either.
I don't mean to bad mouth .44 special. I like mine, but comparing a century of .38 & .357 revolver sales to .44 special sales shows where larger profits can be anticipated. What might encourage Ruger to make .44 special DAs is Flat Top .44 special sales.
