I have a DW 744 that I used for handgun silhouette in the 80’s. It was generally pretty accurate, but many of the cast parts were a little crude and there was a higher parts count than I would prefer. A few years ago I decided to see what I could do with it because it had been sitting in my safe. I had CZ-USA replace the cylinder locking bolt and swap out the 8” heavy barrel for a 6” light barrel. I then tried some of the loads I used for silhouette and they didn’t shoot very well. When I used pin gages on the throats, I found they were a little too tight. I reamed them to .431”. Now it is still a bit crude, but it is the most accurate .44 I have.
