Something about the .41 mag that has always drawn me in. Have a nickel 4" M57 a blued 6" and a 6" 657. Picked up a couple hundred of the Starline .41 special brass a few years ago and shoot a lot of reduced loads these days. Have three .44 mags, two .44 specials as well. Can't say the .41 is...

I am a fan of the 9mm. As stated in the original post in the mid seventies it was a somewhat rare and exotic round. Browning Hi-power was about the only chambering around where I grew up. First handgun purchase was a Colt combat commander in 9mm in 74. Still have it, a Belgium Hi-power, and...

Ran several factory defense loads across my Oehler 35P last year and the Barnes 115g TAC XPD +P was disappointing. The box stated 1125 FPS, they clocked 1071 FPS out of my Glock 34 and would not cycle the action. Got 969 FPS from my Glock 43. Hornady Critical Duty 135g flexlock JHP clocked an...

Found this one at a local gun show a couple months ago. Target hammer and non-relived stocks K162671 1952 or thereabouts. .41 cal

That's a great looking gun! Here's my 25-5, came with the box and left the factory with a 6" barrel and 3T's. Hammer has been ground down and the trigger is smoothed and polished along with the yoke ball detent. It looks a lot like TCK318's and the others posted. Always wondered what the...

Available for order now�� thanks for the heads up. Been hoping that they would do another run and was surprised to see this. 500 on the way! .41 cal

VV N340 is a good mid-range .44 mag powder. About as versatile as Unique, meters much better, costs more. .41 cal .41 mag

I never did go back to have a closer look. There were a number of things that just did not add up in my mind to make it with the trip. Thanks again for the input and education. .41 cal

Thanks for the comments. As gmborkovic stated $3600 is a lot of money and there are occasional excellent blued ones for far less. Of course the intrigue of the very low known numer in existence as O5carbonDRZ states is what makes me want to take a closer look. But what are the odds of that and...

One of the local gun show vendors had a 5 screw .44 mag 4" barrel Nickel finish. I did a cursory look over, finish was fair at best and was told some minor pitting under the stocks (well worn cokes). Was more interested in a K38 so other than a look at the finish and stocks I never bothered to...

Looks familiar. No idea if this is a "Javino" either but sure has some common features with others posted. .41 cal

Thanks! Looks much better.

Given proper bullet construction no reason that the 10mm would be any less effective than other high velocity light bullet combination. From a fun to shoot perspective I really want to play around with the 135g bullet loads soon. Less cost less recoil and lots of velocity equals good times at...

Great topic DocB As an accumulator tis a difficult decision. Right now my "suspect" John Jovino shop 25-5 (Anyone know how to correctly orient the attached?) Marine edition of course;) .41 cal

Done some messing around with revolver and rifle loads in .44 mag. Have a 629 8 3/8", a Ruger M44 18" and a fair supply of VV N-110. Load data is all over place for N110 so I have been slowly working through a series of loads. Not interested in stressing the guns out so just some velocity...
