I shot a six-inch M57 .41 Mag in the old Second Chance Shoot.
In the revived Central Lake shoot, last summer, I shot a three inch M57.
Both worked. Loads were various LSWCs in 210, 225 and 230 grain
weights. Velocity was 1,000 feet per second.

Also used a S&W 1917 .45 ACP (Brazilian contract) less successfully.
The M57s had better sights.

Best for me was a .45 ACP custom pistol with a ported barrel and slide and loads that ran about 910 fps. Unique was my powder for both .41 and .45 loads.
