Be gentle fellows, I am new to the Super Mag stuff and am eager to learn.

Been reading about the 445 Super Mag on some various on-line sources.  It seems as though you can shoot 44 magnum in a 445 Super mag so I am also guessing you can shoot 44 special in them as well?  I have read that Dan Wesson used the same barrels for 445 super mag as a 44 mag barrel but for some reason the threading on the frame of a 445 super mag is different than the thread on the frame of a 44 mag.  Therefore, 44 mag barrels and shrouds can not be fitted on a 445 super mag frame and 445 Barrels can not be fitted to a 44 Mag frame.  IS this correct?

I have tried to use the search feature on this forum to see if I could find this info but I guess my search skills are lacking as I am guessing this may have been addressed previously.

Just to be sure I didn't give you the wrong info, I got out my 744 and 7445.  The barrels are the same thread and can be used interchangeably.

However, you cannot use a 744 shroud on a 7445 because the slot for the ejector is too short on the .44 magnum shroud for the ejector rod on the 445SM.

Thanks for the explanation and the double check.  It makes sense being that the cartridge is longer, extractor must be longer to get  the spent cases out of the cylinder.
