There were actually a fair number of American .44 caliber cartridges including straight ones like the .44-70 Maynard, .44-75 Ballard, .44-85 Wesson, .44-90 Remington, .44-100 Wesson (3 3/8" case!), .44-100 Remington and .44-100 Ballard (from COW).

The big straight cases are impressive in their length, but it's the bottlenecked case that are the sexy ones! Just saying! Those were the .44-60 Peabody, .44-60 Winchester, .44-60 Sharps, .44-77 Sharps & Remington (my favorite Big Grin) and the big boys, the .44-90 Sharps and the .44-90 Remington Special (not exactly the same case). Also the .44-95 Peabody. All of them look pretty cool with a paper patch bullet hanging out the front.
