Seeing all these gorgeous 41 Magnums has me bordering on placing an order with the S&W PC for a model 58 w/a 5" barrel.
I LOVE the 41 magnum!
I inherited my Dad's Ruger 3-screw flat-top 41 magnum. It's probably not had more than a full cylinder shot through it; it looks like it's factory new. It was his favorite gun, and he was a gun collector. Nothing terribly expensive; in fact, he restored old military rifles and those rifles account for half of his collection. My brother and I split them. I didn't care which ones I ended up with as long as I got the Ruger. He used to get it out on occasion and wipe it down and work the action, and just look at it and enjoy the pride of possessing it. I was with my Mom when she bought it for him for his birthday. I may just go the custom route with S&W if I can't find my friend pretty soon.

Those grips were a gift from Davwingman. Something I would have never splurged on for myself. I have to clean things up every time I pick up that gun.

Hows about I just shoot it up and be done with it? 
I bet most of it will go off if I drive the strain screw back in tight on that old magnum...

Thank You Sir. Every time I shoot it I get a giant grin on my face . I like the way it recoils using 44 Specials....But I love the way it recoils and feels using 44 Magnums! I love it so much I went out and bought a Rossi 92 lever rifle in 44 Magnum to go with it. I am going to have to learn to reload to feed my addiction  .

VERY nice, lawandorder!
Boy, those Peters Highway Patrol rounds sure bring back memories!
When I was a member of the New Jersey Highway Patrol (before it was disbanded and merged into the NJ State Police in 1979), I kept every other cylinder of my 6" Model 10 loaded with Remington .38 Special 110gr "Hi-Way Master" metal penetrating rounds (the Remington-branded version of the Peters Highway Patrol).

Nice!
Yep, they're the ones! If my memory isn't failing me, I think the .38 bullets had a cone shape that came to a point, sort of like a metal tepee? Am I remembering right?

Something about N Frame 4 incher barrels and combat (fixed) sights that really appeal to me. I don't own any, but I sure wish I did! Excellent looking revolvers!

Something about 44 Special Hand Ejectors. I could make a dirty
joke here but I will leave that to you all.
I was lucky to get all 3 624s. Had I the means I would be looking
at some older 44 Specials. It's my main man cartridge.
I have since added the Jordan Troopers to the 4" and have Spegels
on the way for the 3". The 6.5 may get cut to 5" if I win the lottery.
It needs some work.

6" 629-1 with smooth target grips. IMHO these are some of the
finest looking grips S&W ever issued (the whole line that is).
Mid 1980's.
Unlike the checkered target grips that came standard on these
guns and looked like they came from a high school
shop project and worked about as well, these feel pretty good
shooting full house rounds.
