Simple question form a hand-gun nubie: Can a S&W 629 shoot both the 44 mag and the S&W 44 special? I looked at the loads side-by-side tonight & they don't look good enough against one another for me to drop the special into my mag without asking the question... What is the deal with the 44 mag versue the 44 special? Most stores around here carry the 44 mag in a "smooth" bullet and the 44 S&W Special in the hollow point.
The word "special" is neat and all, but I'm not into the consequences of mis-loading a gun... I purchased this gun as a side arm for elk camp.
The bottom line: what can I put through my 629 44?
