I owned and shot a .44 Magnum for 30 years before acquiring a .41 Magnum late last year. Thoug I wanted a .41 Magnum way back yonder I went the .44 Magnum route simply because no .41s were in stock when I had the money to spend.

The .41 Magnum is a great round and is all it is cracked up to be for accuracy and shoot-ability. It is also a perfect fit in the N-Frame for recoil toleration. The .44 Magnum, with gut-bustin' full power loads using heavier bullets, is a bit of a chore.
