welcome, we're always happy to hear from new folks. and when it comes to your question, you would be surprised at how many simple questions like that turn out to have rather complicated answers, how many times there are more than one correct way to answer it depending on the situation. most of all when you're not really sure, ask and then ponder your new found wealth of information. I'm going thru that with black powder substitutes, they are all different and sort of the same, and real dam confusing, but I don't really want to blow up a perfectly fine handgun..

magnut,

Welcome to HHM. The 44 magnum was a joint development between Remington and Smith and Wesson, hence 44 Remington Magnum. Elmer Keith prompted and provided data to both for years to encourage them to develop the round. the only "dumb" question, is the one that is not asked! We're here to share our knowledge and experience AND have a good time doin' it.

I bought a Ruger new model super blackhawk hunter .44 mag. It was listed in a back issue of Field and Stream Magazine as one of the top 25 hand guns for hunting. I already have two Rugers,
( SR9 9mm ) and ( LCP 380 ) and like them a lot. Not to mention my trusty old 10-22 my dad gave me when I was a kid. Its nice to see quality in an American made product.

I too have a SBHH but it is a Bisley. Would I get the same Wolff springs?
