Real Steel History

Launched during the 1980s, the real steal Model 44 revolver predominately came with a 6-inch barrel, but this could be swapped-out with several barrel-length part options.
The Model 44 was known for its commanding appearance and was originally designed for hunters and those into target shooting.
These days, Dan Wesson has branched out into producing its take on the 1911-type of pistol, with several models, not to mention rifles too. Despite this, the brand will always be associated by many with the Model 44 revolver and its ilk.
