41 Magnum

[Damjan 73]

Hello Everyone,

 

A year ago i bought a SW Model 57 in 41 Magnum.

 

Its a bit of an oddball round however i shot a few 44 Mags before i bought this and found the recoil not fun as in something i cant shoot more than 5-10 rounds without pain so i got this. Its been very fun shooting it and i can shoot rounds and rounds without any recoil issue. As ammo is hard to find and expensive i v been reloading to lower the costs.

 

I see on the web there is many different opinions on the round especially vs 44 Mag as the round came to market after the 44 Magnum.

 

Do you have a gun in 41 Magnum and what s your experience with it?

Always wanted one, just never got around to it.

My experience was Hell Yeah. I carried one as a kid for bear defense in Alaska on vacation. .41 will do most things better than .44, and with less recoil. I guess .44 can get a slight edge with the heavier slugs. But nowadays, if you need heavier, you ditch the .44 anyway and get something big.
