Product Overview 44 Russian AMMO
The .44 Russian, also known as the .44 S&W Russian, is a black-powder center-fire metallic revolver cartridge developed by Smith & Wesson in 1870. The .44 Russian design marked the first use of an internally lubricated bullet in modern firearm ammunition.
The 44 Russian cartridge is a classic revolver cartridge that has been in use for over a century. It was first introduced in 1870 as a rimfire cartridge for Smith & Wesson’s Model 3 revolver, and later adapted to centerfire use. Although it was initially designed for military use, the 44 Russian quickly gained popularity among civilian shooters and hunters for its accuracy, reliability, and stopping power. In this article, we will take a closer look at the 44 Russian cartridge, its history, features, and applications.
In the early 1870s, General Alexander Gorloff, the military attaché assigned to the Russian Embassy in Washington, D.C., approached Smith & Wesson about the possibility of negotiating a military sales contract for the purchase of a large number of Smith & Wesson Model 3 revolvers for the Imperial Russian Army.
However, Gorloff had some reservations about the standard .44 S&W American chambering of the pistol which, similar to today’s .22 long rifle, had an externally lubricated heeled bullet. Gorloff correctly recognized that such ammunition tends to pick up debris and contaminants which erode the bore when fired, so a qualification of the purchase contract was that Smith & Wesson develop an internally lubricated version of their .44 round.
