Like the .44 Special it has followers and won't go away but likely will never be real popular either. The 44 special got a shot in the arm with popular cowboy action loads but don't see anything similar with the .41 any time soon.
How about the .41 Special , been around for a while and Starline makes the brass , but , like the .41 Magnum it is not high demand. I hear it is a great cartridge and wish Ruger would make it an offering in their Flattop .
