I don't have a 44, but if the 44 is fired in a larger frame gun you will find that the bore axis is higher above the hand than with a smaller frame gun firing 38/357. Even if gun weight is similar, a higher bore axis will probably increase perceived recoil a bit.

In addition to the shape of the butt as mentioned by mes227, the contour of the grips, particularly the surfaces that the web of your hand wraps around, can also influence how recoil feels.
