I'm that oddball writer who's never owned a 44 Mag (or a 30-06 or a 270 or a 7mm Mag or....)

But I also suspect that it might not the gun causing the poor performance. Not a slam on you, Tater my friend. But very minor changes in grip from shot to shot make a HUGE difference with a hard-kicking revolver.

It might be the gun, too. If it's a used gun, and the previous "drug store cowboy" amused himself by spinning the cylinder a lot, the gun could be horribly out of time. Spinning a single action's cylinder peens the locking notches on the cylinder and before long, no two cylinders lock up the same. Bullets fly everywhere after that.
