As a new Model 58 owner and a new .41 mag owner, and first time S&W owner, I have a question. (apologies if this is naïve)

How well does the model 58 stand up to 'long term' use in .41 mag (factory loads)? I understand that the N-Frame is made to handle .44 magnum, and from what I understand, .41 mag is supposed to recoil less than the .44 mag. Is it safe to infer that the N-Frame will handle .41 mag even better than .44 mag?

Is there anything particular to my model 58 that I should look out for in terms of wear over the years? Or is the N-frame .41 mag pretty much 'overbuilt' for that cartridge?

I'm still learning about this revolver and cartridge.
Thanks
