I've had .357s and .44 mags since the 1970s. I bought my first .41 ten years ago and now own eight but down to three .44 mags.
I can't say exactly why but I enjoy shooting .41s over .44s especially with hotter loads. It may be reduced recoil or just knowing I'm shooting something out of the norm.
Most of the .41s I load are reduced load more like a special. I load up heavier for deer hunting and the fun of shooting some at times too.
I'd love to see .41 specials and an L frame 5 shot snub made in them.
