.44 Magnum Revolver (Fallout: New Vegas)

The .44 magnum revolver is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The .44 Magnum revolver is a double action revolver, modeled after the Smith & Wesson M29, the same revolver Clint Eastwood used in Dirty Harry. It is more powerful than the .357 revolver, but its ammunition is more difficult to find without frequent trips to weapon merchants. This weapon requires a Strength of 5 or higher to be wielded effectively. It is very durable.
