I haven't bought any factory centerfire pistol cartridges in over a decade (course been deployed most of the time). However, I cut my teeth reloading for my uncles M57 8.375", then came about a dozen M57/657/58s from Smith, a 14" TC bbl and a Marlin 1894S all in .41. Heck, I'm giving my oldest son my only .44 Mag! Missed out getting a 357PD but would love to see Smith come out with a 357XL Steath Hunter.

Smith is currently cataloging M57s 4"&6"(blue/nickel), M58 (blue/nickel), 2.5" M657, 2.5" M357NG which ain't bad for a obsolete cartridge when they dropped the only one .41 mag that they were making (657, 7.5").

aka .41 nut
