The 41 Magnum Thread

[gregintenn]

Show us yours. I'll go first.

Mine is a Nickel 4" model 57 no dash Smith and Wesson. I really like the gun. It's a bit more than the 357 Mag, and a bit less than the 44 Mag. It is a shame they aren't more popular, as I believe this is just about the perfect revolver round. As it is today, it is almost a handloading proposition. Maybe one day they'll get the popularity they deserve. The 41 does have, albeit a small, but a very loyal following.

Very nice! I always wanted a 57 or 58 back in the 70's. Never got around to buying one though.

[Mykltn]

I don't have one and it makes me feel empty and hollow inside:(

[Guest Oaklands]

This is my baby. A model 58 in excellent condition. A nice hand me down from my father. I don't think there is a dollar figure that could buy this one off me. It is a great shooter and I do carry it way every once in a while. Carry 2 speed strips in my pocket when I do.

Nice '57 Greg, I want one of those. I've got a .41, but mine is a Blackhawk. I'll see if I can can a picture up tomorrow, not nearly as nice as your smitty though.

We dont like 41's at our house; we just have six. Three ruger sa's (...one new model--2 old...) and three brothers to your smith model 57. The 41 mag is the caliber i started shooting "magnum" loads in. They are a great thing!!!

PS-- I love Oakland's model 58. They are a great thing!! I'm sorry i didnt pick a couple of them up when you actually could find (...and afford....) them. They have turned into a pretty valuable collector's item now.

Keep up the good work!

I kept my eye on a Ruger Redahawk that Range USA had on consignment,probably looked at it half a dozen times,suddenly the owner dropped tha price about $50.00 dollars,thats when I decided I needed a .41 Mag.It was a good choice,they shoot great.

Double Rugers equals double fun

I love those 58s!!!!

I love those 58s!!!!

Yup...., They're the Model 10 on steroids!

[Ropin4gold]

Heres mine. It's a 57-1 that is Magna-Ported and has an action that is smooth as butter. Used to be my dad's but I had to buy it off of one of his friends because he wouldn't sell it to me. It has killed it's share of Javelinas.....

[Guest TnValleyBulletman]

I don't like 41 mags much, so i only have two 57's, a 58 and a Ruger Bisley. I can't get groups under an inch at 25 yds. with any of them. Even from a Ransom rest:)

That's why I am keeping them. I wouldn't want to pass something like that off on someone else:D

[Ropin4gold]

Anybody tried the Taurus titanium tracker in .41?

[Guest Ken45]

Shame on all of you for posting such gun porn!

I DO NOT NEED another caliber! No....no....no.....

Ken,

Just wait till we start the .38 Super & 10mm threads!

[Guest Ken45]

I do have some pickup 38 super and 10mm brass I have saved from years ago. Never found any .41 though.

.41 would be a nice caliber although I'd probably choose .45LC first. OTOH, for some reason I just don't care to shoot revolvers that much, I'd rather shoot a semi although not having to chase brass is certainly a big advantage of a revolver.

Probably if I had it to do over again, I'd pick .41 and .45LC over 44 mag if I could find such guns.

That 57 is gorgeous!

[DMark]

That 57 is gorgeous!

Thanks,

It has its wear & tear from alot of "walk-abouts" but its still one of my favorites.

[shoota40]

mines a blackhawk n i love it, havent figured out pics yet.

[LngRngShtr]

I use .41 MAG brass ( and sometimes .30-30 Win) to make my .401 Herters,..does that count ? ballistics are identical, dimensions are different by only a few thousandths and it came out some 5 years earlier..

Having said that I would love to get my hands on a "proper" .41 something like FTG's 58

John

Did someone say .38 Super and 10mm ? ?

[DMark]
