Good replies for and against. I know the history surrounding both cartridges. But in today's "customer is right" mentality I would think the gun makers would perk up a bit! Not sure if there are any current 41mag firearms being made. Maybe the ruger blackhawk? I still think the 41mag is a better round in 210gr vs the 240gr 44mag. But, no animal, 2 or 4 leg, will ever know the difference. Just nice to be one of the enlightened few.
