.44 Magnum

10.9×33mmR, or .44 Remington Magnum, is another brainchild of Elmer Keith. Designed as high-powered handload of .44 Special, it quickly eclipsed its progenitor, once production started. Greater burst in popularity came later, thanks to Dirty Harry fame. Round is powerful enough for anything that needs to be done with a handgun with great versatility, but also quite useful dangerous game round when used in carbines.

All .44 Magnum guns can use .44 Special, but not vice versa.
