The Model 445 Ultra-Lite is more compact than other .44 revolvers on the market. Its cylinder—the widest part of any revolver—is 1.54 inches in diameter.
While compact .357 Magnum revolvers deliver plenty of punch, ultra-light titanium versions are almost equally hard on the shooter. Fire full-house .357 Magnum loads in one of these compact featherweights and you’ll definitely know it! Their exceptionally hard recoil makes them tough to control on follow-up shots. Unless you put in a lot of painful practice, I guarantee you’ll flinch. Flinching doesn’t do much for accuracy, so I typically shoot .38 Special loads in my lightweight, titanium .357 revolvers.
