The key here is the length of the flutes. The Frontier flutes extend to about the rear of the curve in the trigger whereas the other 44's, the rear of the flutes lines up with the front of where the trigger comes out of the frame.

Since I am new to the antiques, is there a model called the .44 Russian or is it some other model and merely shoots the .44 Russian cartridge?
