The .44 Auto Magnum Pistol (AMP) is a large-caliber, semi-automatic pistol cartridge developed in 1971 by Harry Sanford. [2] The primary use is in the Auto Mag Pistol . [ 3 ] The cartridge was also employed in the Wildey automatic pistol, including a few other custom pistols. [ 4 ]
The pistol is offered with a choice of either single-action or double-action trigger mechanisms. Barrels are currently available in 8 in (203 mm), 10 in (254 mm) or 12 in (305 mm) lengths. [ 11 ] Other lengths of 5 in (127 mm), 6 in (152 mm), 7 in (178 mm) and 14 in (356 mm) have been discontinued. [ 12 ]
Even so, it still achieved a ballistic coefficient of only 0.153, which reflects very poor long range capabilities; the .44 Henry is a large and slow bullet, giving poor external ballistics and a great deal of ballistic drop during its trajectory, making hitting a target past 200 yards almost impossible for the average shooter.

The .460 Rowland / 11.43×24mm is a rimless, straight walled handgun cartridge designed in 1997 [1] by Johnny Rowland and developed in conjunction with Clark Custom Guns as a derivative of the .45 ACP [2] with the goal of producing a cartridge which can achieve true .44 Magnum [3] ballistic performance and be fired from a semi-automatic platform.

Though less common than the smaller .38 caliber family of cartridges, the caliber is popular with many shooters and the .44 Magnum in particular facilitated the rise of handgun hunting .
