Performance and applications

Caliber and capability

Chambered in .44 Magnum, the Armsmear excels in heavy-hitting applications: handgun hunting, long-range silhouette shooting, and defensive scenarios where powerful, controlled rounds are required. The 8-inch barrel improves sight radius and velocity, delivering tighter groups and flatter trajectories when paired with appropriate loads.

Handling and platform

Built on Colt’s large-frame double-action platform, the revolver balances mass for recoil mitigation while maintaining smooth trigger operation for both single- and double-action shots. The weight distribution and barrel length favor accurate follow-up shots, and the large-frame construction gives durability under sustained use.
