I can't seem to find any information about one-shot stopping power of .44 magnum. I find lots of data about 9mm parabellum, .45 ACP, .40 S&W, .357 Magnum, and .38 Special, but I never see any figures about .44 magnum. I am buying a .44 magnum revolver "just for fun" as well as for defense against black bears, and I know it is effective for this... but I want to know if it is also effective for use as a home-defense gun or CCW (don't laugh, it would be under a coat).
Also, what's the deal with .44 special? I know that in a .357 magnum revolver you can shoot .38 special if you want. Does this hold true with .44 special, can you shoot .44 special out of a .44 magnum revolver?
Thanks for any info
