My question was rhetorical, but you are correct, and it’s the same with the N-frame revolvers. The frame size began life as a .44 Special in the Triple Lock.

Some earlier posts suggest that the Model 24 is built on an oversized frame designed for the .44 Magnum, when, in fact, it’s the exact opposite.
