The .41 magnum is an excellent revolver cartridge. I've owned several, including 57s and old model Ruger Blackhawks. I trimmed down my collection of shooters to simplify reloading, component inventory, and bullet casting chores and the .41 and .45 Colt were casualties of the process - but if I were starting from scratch and know what I know now, I would seriously consider the .41 as my primary magnum revolver cartridge. Some beautiful guns pictured here, guys!
