Here's a question...I recently traded into a Uberti model 1873 in 44mag. The guy I got it from said I could shoot44 special in
it. After I got home I checked and my 44 colt shells slide right in the cylinder, no slop, and the bullet appears to be the
same diameter as the 44 specials I have. What's the story here, can you fire both 44 colt, and 44 specials in a revolver
chambered for 44 mag? The 44 colt case length is a bit shorter, but does this pose a problem for the cylinder?
I went thru a lot of past posts and I can't find any reference to guys firing 44 colt in a 44 mag (or 44 special) revolver.
Thanks for any advice
