I had another in 5 1/2" but it was marked as being chambered in .44 Colt. The somewhat concerning part of this was the fact that my .44 Special handloads would drop right into the chambers all the way to the rim and could've easily been fired. The chambers would not, however accept a fired .44 Special cartridge case.
There are plenty of guys using shortened 44 special brass to make 44 colt. The rim is bigger and some have a little trouble ejecting rounds. I bought 400 starline 44 colt brass for next to nothing, and am also overwhelmed at how accurate my clone is.
