Jeff,

I came to enjoy shooting my S&W .41 Magnum several years before Covid struck. I had already reached the point in time in which the .44 Magnum was just too much recoil to enjoy. As has been said, the .41 Magnum is a perfect step up from the .38 Special/.357 Magnum. Fun to shoot, always delivers a great experience at the range, and I think excellent "stopping power" whenever you need it.

However, that ammo is very expensive, IF you can find it! I remember years ago paying almost $70.00 for a box of 50 at Bass Pro in Nashville, TN At one time I could buy re-loads, but I don't think so now.

I just checked, just to see, and it appears that Bud's has a box of 50 of Buffalo Bore for about $42.00. I just want FMJ for the range.

If you have an opportunity for an excellent Model 57 I'd go for it!

Cheers!

Bill
