.44 Special is a heck of a round

Took my new Ruger Hunter Bisley to the range last weekend and fired both .44 magnum (180 and 240 grain) and .44 special (lead 246 grain, I think).
Accuracy-wise, the .44 mag was all over the place and not just from kick anticipation. The .44 special, even out of a dirty barrel and with lead bullets was dead on target; very tight groups: holes touching one another sort of thing. Plus (no surprise here), the .44 special was a lot more fun to shoot.
I think I have found a new favorite cartridge. Hope CAS doesn't abandon this fine round.

I think you'll also like his daddy, the .44 Russian, maybe you should give it a try too.

S&W Number 3 revolver round. Would it work in a regular .44 magnum handgun like the .44 special?

Yes.
The .44SW SPL was just an evolution of the .44SW Russian as the .44 Rem Mag was an evolution of the .44SW SPL. Only difference is the case lenght.
