The 444 Marlin barrels for the contenders are rechambered 44 MAG barrels. I don't think the 444 Marlin is made specifically for the contender (Factory Barrels). SSK rechambers them and a few others.

I am waiting for one now.  I am having a carbine barrel rechambered from 44 mag to 444 Marlin.  The 445 Super Mag is also a good choice.  I wanted something that I could buy factory ammo for.

Bullberry chambers for it, but the barrels are marked for use with the G2 frame only.

In order to get a 444 Marlin barrel for your contender, it will have to be a custom from OTT, SSK, or some of the other custom barrel makers, or as already stated have a 44mag barrel rechambered. I have a SSK rechamber with T'Sob base and magna-ported. It is the most accurate "big bore" barrel that I have ever shot and recoil is very mild.
