.41 AE

[TNZ71]

Does any one shoot ..41 AE any more? Or did .40 S&W make it obsolete?

To the best of my knowledge, 40 cal pretty well killed it off.

Yep. Orphan cartridge. Killed by the 10mm lite.

I don't shoot it often, the ammo was hard to find last time I checked. But I have a Jericho 941 kit and an EA that has a .41AE conversion barrel with it. Thankfully, I stashed a bit of ammo for it while I was able and have about a
thousand rounds left.

I do like the round, but it was just another of the "boutique" rounds that had only a few real diehard fans. Edited October 28, 2014 by hipower

I found about 700 rounds of .41 AE, I may have to find a Jericho.

The sad part is, that much ammo is worth more than the gun to put it in!

You could sell that to someone already invested in the cartridge for enough to buy a play-pretty of more humble origins [9x19, .40, .45] and be ten miles ahead.

I guess I could shoot it all and sell the brass. I'm don't think I could ship the ammo. Does anyone make a barrel for a Glock 20 or 21 in .41AE?

[TNZ71]

A search couldn't find a glock barrel but I did find a Jerico/witness conversion for .41

I was very pleased with the .41 AE cartridge both ballistically and from a reloading aspect. I could stuff a 215 gr SWC in a case and they cycled fine in a Tanfoglio. Very mild recoil and cheap to shoot once you had the cases. Never bought dies. 41 Mag sizer and belling. .40 S&W for seating and crimping as well as I remember.  I did eventually get tired of the potential mixing with .40s.
