If guns kill people, then pencils cause misspellings.



  Thanks man. I have never laid eyes on a .44-40 cartridge, if I had, I would have known the answer to my question.

the only thing to fear, is running out of ammo



  No. The 44-40 is a tapered or botlenecked cartridge, the 44 Special is a straight walled cartridge, a 44 Special could probably fit and be fired, but the case would split. wich is bad bad ju ju. kind of like trying to fire a 9mm out of a .380 or a 22 mag out of a .22LC weapon......just bad ju ju lol

  I know you can shoot .44 Special in a .44 mag, but can you shoot the .44 Spc in a revolver that is chambered for .44-40?
