Exactly why I shoot 44 special loads out of my 44 mag. I dislike recoil. So what is the difference in in N frame in weight in 44 mag vs. a 44 special????

I don't know about all the .44 specials, but the 624 has the shorter cylinder as mentioned, but it also has the short underlug and tapered barrel profile so it's very similar to the .44 magnum 'Mountain Gun'. Very light for an N frame.
Full power .44 specials (240 gr x 900 fps) have good, solid recoil. Nothing painful, but not the same as shooting specials in a bull barreled, unfluted, full underlug 629.
