The .44 Magnum revolver is a double action, swing-out cylinder revolver, with a high damage output for a one-handed gun, but its ammunition is slightly rarer in the wasteland. Additionally, the .44 Magnum fires and reloads quickly, due to its speed-loader and ejector rod. It is, however, somewhat inaccurate with a spread of 0.7, on the high end of one-handed guns. It also has luminescent iron-sights. The .44 Magnum revolver is a very durable weapon that can be concealed with a Sneakskill of 50 or greater, as it is considered an improved holdout weapon.
The .44 Magnum revolver can fire a total of about 1,245 standard rounds, the equivalent of 208 reloads, from full condition before breaking. When modified with the heavy frame, it can fire a total of about 1870 standard rounds, the equivalent of 312 reloads, from full condition before breaking.
The Omerta thugs that arrive near the end of the quest Bye Bye Love to intercept Carlitos will have several in moderate condition along with .44 ammunition.
