And they're finally filling my backorder that's been sitting for 2.5 years. No joke, they called me today to update my payment info. So...backorder now and expect to receive them roundabout March 2026 and you won't be disappointed! :)

For your sake I hope the same. Maybe someone will cancel their existing backorder and there will be some available for you on this run, or they'll simply overproduce. I've long assumed that for these uncommon calibers they wait until an entire production run is ordered before producing them. But they won't validate that assumption--I've asked. Fingers crossed for you @Silver Creek Jack

Before I waited that long .

I would have cut down some mags and special cartridges and made my own Russian cartridges. 

By the time your 2.5 year back order was up you should have 250 or so cut down :P

Fortunately I wasn't in such a dire need as to go to those lengths. But I was starting to contemplate it.

It's kinda  funny how things change as we get older .

I have been a 44 magnum guy my whole life .

I also love the 44 special. 

But when I started shooting Uberti guns instead of Blackhawks. 

I found I like the 44 Russian better in them lighter guns .

I shoot full load BP cartridges and a 200gr RNFP Bullet. 

With that kind of load you need to pick your cartridge and gun wisely. 

The 44 Russian is a perfect full load BP cartridge for the Uberti pistols .

I also have a short cartridge carrier for my 66 to shoot 44 Russian cartridges in that gun with my Uberti Open Top 44 Special guns.

All shooting 44 Russian BP Cartridges is about as close as I can get to the real 44 rimfire cartridge.
