Those are 97s....
My friend in Texas ordered a gun just like your .44 Special but with an octagon barrel. It should be in about Thanksgiving. He had a second cylinder fitted that is going to be rechambered to .44 Magnum so he can use his 1000 fps lead reloads in case of emergency.. Mr. Baker said it would be fine but they would not factory cut the chamber in .44 Mag.
