Originally, the No. 7 revolver was built in 11 mms Spanish Ordnance, which cartridge is almost equal to the German 10,4 mm Reichsrevolver. A .44 Russian will fit into either, but has been proven to be a bit too powerful, so beware.

PS: Concerning the "44 Cal" marking on the barrel, what about the .44 S&W American, the predecessor of the .44 Russian?

44 S&W will not fit, you can shoot a 44 Russian in a 44 S&W special but not the reverse

Incorrect, Norm. Please kindly read my posting again, carefully. I was referring to the .44 S&W American. Thank you .
