How about a 41 Magnum Show and Tell?

[629shooter]

I've only had time to run one quick cylinder full of 175gr Silvertips through it at about 10 yards. It shot straight and the recoil was very manageable, it's a bit muzzle heavy so that helps. Hopefully I can give it a good wringing out in the near future.

Nice shooting. Do you reload? If you don't, 41 Magnum is a good reason to start.

I finally get to post in this thread! I just got my beater 28-2 back from being converted to .41mag by Mark Hartshorne a couple of days ago. He did an outstanding job.

Is this a titanium cylinder or just a custom finish on it?

Currently my only one

This is the first big bore gun that I bought when I reached legal age to do so. All I had fired before this were rimfire handguns. Shortly after buying this gun, I also bought a Lee hand reloader and started reloading for it.

After many rounds of ammo through it and many hunting trips with it on my hip, I decided to have these elephant ivory grips made for it. I purposely asked for a part of the tusk with some "bark" on it so that the striations would be visible on the grips.

I think they look great, but they are not the best for shooting anything but the lightest loads because they are so slippery. After a dozen or so heavier loads, the bottom of my trigger finger will be bleeding from contacting the trigger guard. With the wood grips, this doesn't happen.

I am currently having a .41 mag built for me for use as a hunting gun (the Ruger was my backup gun, not my hunting gun).

It's a titanium cylinder, Numrich's had them for $87! They may still have some, I haven't checked. The barrel is a 4" M58 barrel cut to 3", Mark made the front sight.

Thanks will be handy and lighter to carry.

Nice thread.

Missed it when it was originally started.

Here is my 657-3 Classic Hunter I posted on another thread today.

For some reason, a LGS has a large stock of 41 Mag ammo. Including some Cowboy loads that would make good range fodder.

Time to get this back out and shoot it.

Here's my hybrid. Ruger Anniversary 357 converted to 41 mag with a four inch S&W Mod 57 barrel.

...man...in looking over the guns I posted over the last seven years...many are now gone...

Ruger seems to be the only handgun company keeping the .41 alive... The last two .41s I bought were both Redhawks..one 4" and one 2.75". Ruger now has stainless Blackhawks in 4 5/8" and 6.5" as well as a 5.5" Bisley...

Took a woods walk yesterday and brought the Taurus 4" Titanium Tracker...you forget you are wearing a gun let alone a .41...

Only have one. Did not set out to buy one, but when I saw it I could not resist.

Got the box also.

Shipped in September of 1977.

41 Magnum

This is my one and only 41 Magnum. It's a model 57 no dash, completely original. Made in 1977. Came to me in the original presentation case but no plain blue box or outer cardboard box. All the paperwork is in the bottom of the case.

From what I have been told it is some what unusual to find these presentation boxes with the yellow tabs still present which are used to easily remove the bottom blue insert.

This is my favorite caliber to shoot. It always gets a lot of looks, at the range when that thing goes bang.

My only 41 magnum a Model 58 , late 1969 , one of the last S series before S&W went to the N series in 1970.
Was carried by a close friend an Officer with the Baton Rouge Police Department. He was a motorcycle cop with a big Harley Davidson and he wanted a weapon that could shoot through a car door....the 38 specials the department issued didn't do that too well, so he went with the 41 magnum, which was touted as "the perfect " police revolver at that time.
He retired, sold it to me with the black Bianchi Sam Brown police rig thrown in .
I removed the beat up factory grips for safe keeping, it wears Ahrends Retro Combats in Cocobolo for now. We go dancing as often as we can.
I have pictures but can't remember how to post them...will get help when wife returns. My avatar is the my model 58 .

Seeing that numrich still has some Ti cylinders, it makes me want to hunt down a 57 or 58 in need of some love and make a lighter woods gun.

Haven't found a S&W yet in 41 Magnum.

Here is my P&R 1978 Model 57, which is the year I graduated high school.

Now I need a 8 3/8” 657!

 

[VictorLouis]

What would a clean, nice 6" 657 no-dash bring these days?

I've seen them sell for +/- $1000.
