.41 Mag - The Thinking Man's .44 Mag
Great thread, beautiful guns pictured. For what it is worth, here are my four .41s. Top is standard Ruger Blackhawk got it used for $300.00. The engraved nickled 58 is an old San Antonio, TX PD gun. Factory letter says shipped to SAPD in 1974. Nickle and engraving are after factory but very quality job. Grips are elk antler from Eagel Grips. Got it from Pawn Shop in TX for under $400.00. The blued 58 is an "S" prefix SN. No factory letter yet. Got it at a CO gunshow for under $400.00. The buggered up 57 is a "no dash" with nickled trgger, hammer and cylinger thumb release. Barrel is 5" and it is round butt. (Collectors are rolling in their graves). Got it in a CA gunshow in 1987/8, traded straigt across for a Colt, Series 70, .38 Super I bought at a military Rod and Gun Club in Korea for $109.00. I shoot factory 220 grain and 170 grain for hunting but have worked up a lead SWC 210 grain load at about 900fps that is contollable in fast DA strings. Love 'em all, although, I mostly carry a .45ACP now days.
Keep Shootin'
PS if anyone can tell me how to upload full sized pics, I'll listen. THX
