As has already been stated, S&W did not produce an L-frame sized 41 magnum revolver but Taurus did.

The 415 was available in 2 1/2" or 4" and it could be purchased in stainless steel or total titanium. I own both.



The stainless version weighs in at 29 ounces while the titanium is just 20 ounces.



The porting and ribber grips do a VERY good job at reducing the recoil and muzzle flip forces that are transfered to the shooters hand. The ribber grips also fit a wider range of hand sizes. The ribber grips kind of feel like one of those qoushy balls that you see in the kids stores.

The Taurus 415 locks up at the crane with a detent system similar to what the S&W Performance Center uses. It is a good system.



At the range both of the 41 Magnum revolvers have been shot with Winchester 210 JHP, Winchester 175 Silver Tips, Remington 170 JHP, and my own cast hand loads (215 SWC over 7g of Unique). The cast load was a pleasure in both firearms. However, when it came to the factory Magnum ammunition these little powerhouses did produce some recoil. The all stainless steel model 415 was controllable with all loads. The combination of the ported barrel and the soft ribber grips put this firearm on par with a medium frame 357 snub nose. The Total Titanium model 415T is not for the novice shooter. At a mere 20 ounces, recoil with all factory loads was stout. This firearm can be easily handled by anyone used to the big magnums or handgun hunting.
