Recently there have been a few posts regarding this cartridge.
I'm not an authority, but it is interesting that one of the fastest Law Men around used the .44 Special in a 4" N Frame. He probably used factory ammunition of the time, and his success most likely attributed to his technique & shot placement rather than the bullet itself.
Delf A. 'Jelly' Bryce was possibly the fastest gunfighter ever

There are a few more articles out there, I think the first one is the best.
