I don't care if its not practical, or if I am the only one that wants one. It doesn't change the fact that since they made the X frame I have thought about an 8-shot X frame 44.

mmmmh.... 8 rounds of 44 magnum.


Thanks for listening.

Supposedly there was a 7 shot 44MAG X-Frame ready for production (no room for 8 shots).

Shorty cylinder and all.

From the sounds of it, the project has been shelved indefinitely :(
 
Can you imagine "S&W X-frame only" 44 mag loads. The Ruger guys would be irritated.
 
If the 460 shoots the 454 and 45 colt , then would an x- frame shooting something like a .444 marlin or new caliber variant that would allow .44 mags to be chambered . Not sure if they are the same bullet diameter , but it might be an interesting idea for a wrist breaking gun but a mid recoiling .44 .

I wouldn't be irritated at all. It might make Ruger finally do the Redhawk update that the Super Redhawk should have been. :cool:

.444 Marlin is the same .429 bullets but the OAL is around 2.570"... Is the X frame cylinder that long??? If it is then as long as flame cutting like the .357 Maximum didn't kill the gun that might be a crazy idea... :eek:
 
A Desert Eagle is 8 rounds of .44 magnum in an autoloader. Frame size is probably about that of an X Frame. It can even convert to a .357 magnum that holds 10 rounds. Why limit yourself to one caliber ?

But I am sooo a revolver guy.
 
Loved my DE, hated how it launched brass into the next area code, or right at my forehead.

It had a tenancy to bulge brass at the base and it would chew-up and/or dent brass badly.

Still was a lot of fun at the range :D
