I was late to the .41 Magnum party. When I was about 14 I would read the catalogs and dream of a nickel 6-inch Model 57. When I was about 22 went out one Saturday afternoon looking for a .41 Magnum with money burning a hole in my pocket. They were all out o f .41 Magnums so I went the .44 Magnum route. By then I had come to loathe the notion of shiny nickel finish and greatly favored the blue finish.

Some 30-something years later I picked up that dream gun of my youth.
