There are a lot of gorgeous guns shown here!! My limited experience from years past, (and strictly a shooter's perspective),with the 44 and 41 magnums is that if you have one you really do not NEED the other. To me there is not a lot of difference between them. However, wanting lots of both, that is different.

None here. But I'm sure others have had their dreams come true.
Does anyone build a revolver chambered in that cartridge today?
Must be a hand loaders only proposition.

Bought my 4" M-57 in 1980, I was such a dedicated reloader at the time it wasn't until 1990 that I fired a factory round. Though I haven't bought another. Mulling getting a Henry .41 Magnum.

I assume some of you out there have been bitten by the .41 bug??
I know the round did not take off quite as hoped due to the .44 Magnum being so popular and some have said "What's the point!"
But for me, I am a fan!

I would love to find a pinned and recessed Model 57 either bright blue or nickel, four or six inch. Preferably one from the first three or four years of production with coke bottle target stocks and pinned on front sight base. A model 58 blue or nickel would also be nice.
Either one would look nice next to my 27-2 and 29-2. I already reload for 16 different calibers, so what’s one more.

Uh-huh, I've sold a couple so I'm down to 72 from Smith & Wesson, Ruger, Taurus, Freedom Arms, Magnum Research, Dan Wesson, Jager, Uberti, Marlin and Henry Repeating Arms.
This Model 58 was my Dad's, he bought it new in December 1964 and it was my first introduction to the .41 Magnum.
KO
p.s. And it even says I "Likes: 41" up there in my in stats.

I had a,really nice 41 no dash 4 inch but traded it for my 1932 38/44 outdoorsman. Wish they had made the pre 29 and 41 mag models in 5 screw models in the 50s.. 41,w unrelieved grips looks sweet..

I'll START with - S&W should have made a 'M658'. 
Started with a Ruger BH .41 in 4-5/8"s.
Then - once bitten by the S&W bug, had to have a M58 - and was probably one of few that used that as a hunting tool - and took a few deer with it.
The M58 got replaced in the deer woods with at M57 6" and has put some venison in the freezer.....

Not too long ago I had what I considered a nice M57 too.

Count me in as a .41 Magnum fan
This 57 is my favorite .41 Magnum. It was customized at the Performance Center for a friend who was a Smith and Wesson executive. He gave it to me.

A man after my own heart. My M57 is a 5th year production, my M58 is a 4th year, both "S" prefix. I reload for ten handgun calibers and 3 rifle.
And yes, either one (or both) look good next to a M27-2 and M29-2.

My first "Magnum" was a Model 57 way back in 1975. I was just out of high school and .44 Magnums were unobtanium. I couldn't find a Model 29 anywhere, so I "settled" for the Model 57. I loved it and ended up never finding a need for a .44 until the late '90s. I shot a 5 point bull elk with it in 1978 and it worked perfectly. I no longer have my original, but have enjoyed a 657 Light Hunter since about 2004. Great gun and a wonderful cartridge.

I'll second the 658 notion.
This one is a close as I came, it is a Jovino EFFECTOR built on a model 58 frame. I presume that it is hard chromed.

I've retired from pursuing new .41s to add to the collection, I think the last one was the Henry Big Boy Steel Carbine 5 years ago.
The breakdown:
1 Semi-auto pistol
9 Lever rifles
14 Single action revolvers
48 Double action revolvers
KO
