.44 Magnum revolver (Fallout: New Vegas)

The .44 Magnum revolver is a weapon .
==Characteristics==
The .44 Magnum revolver is a double-action, swing-out cylinder revolver, with a high damage output compared to other one-handed revolvers at the cost of having an ammunition type that is slightly rarer in the wasteland. It also has a moderate rate of fire and an effective reload rate due to its speed-loader and ejector rod. It however is somewhat inaccurate with a spread of 0.7, being on the high end of one-handed ballistic weapons, but with pre-installed luminescent iron-sights, aiming down the sights is slightly easier. It is considered an improved holdout weapon.
===Durability===
The .44 Magnum revolver can fire a total of about 1,245 standard rounds, the equivalent of 208 reloads, from full condition before breaking. When modified with the heavy frame, it can fire a total of about 1870 standard rounds, the equivalent of 312 reloads, from full condition before breaking.

* The Pip-Boy icon for the .44 Magnum revolver is the same as the .32 pistol from Fallout 3.
* In the revolver's reload animation, there are still live rounds present in the speedloader after reloading the gun's cylinder.
* Compared to the .44 Magnum revolver in Fallout 3, in Fallout: New Vegas, it has a different jamming animation in-game.
==Bugs==
* Though it happens to most guns, the speed-loader on the .44 will occasionally become stuck into the cylinder. Reloading or switching weapons will fix the issue. 
* If loading a saved game from the main menu in which you have the .44 Magnum revolver equipped and drawn, the reload animation takes twice as long as normal. This can be solved by simply switching to another gun and then back again.
