.41Magnum

210 JHC over Hercules 2400. Love the .41 Mag.

Yes, I have a 4-5/8" Blackhawk and it is a lot of fun. Jim.

What is the velocity with that load?

 

[Trapper Jim]

1350 from 8 inch Smith and 1220 from 4 inch Blackhawk.

If the LEO departments had not decided to go with Semi auto 9mm duty handguns , I think the .41 would have seen some pretty wide spread use.

I inherited a beautiful Lew Horton S&W Model 657 from my Dad. I really like the cartridge and have been thinking of picking up a lever gun in .41 Magnum. Seriously, shooting someone more than once is silly!

 

[Aszerigan]

I have several old model 57s. Great guns for sure.

That's a pretty revolver.

Yep.” If you can’t do it in 5 you are no longer alive.”

I highly underrated caliber.

First gun that I bought myself (36 years ago) was a Ruger Blackhawk in 41 mag. Still have it.

I'd like to see a 57 or two return to the safe someday.

This thread got me to thinking about how I want to shoot the 657 more. I just ordered a 500 round case!

My neighbors on the line at the up coming RR MBMO Pistol Event are going to hate me.

 

[Dean C.]

Its like .40S&W but for revolvers

 

[Bassat]

Its like 10mm but for revolvers

FIxed your typo

FIxed your typo

Nah, 10mm is actually useful.

.41 Magnum is .44 Magnum’s retarded cousin.

I should have put the disclaimer….”kids don’t try this at home”.

By all means if you are not sure you can handle Magnum Rounds, stay with the smaller MM’s. Nothing wrong with the softer calibers if that is your limitations.

I witness Gun Store Groupies trying to shoot Magnums occasionally and it is quite a show, to say the least.

Let’s be careful out there.

All this magnum talk and we still don't have the velocity of this load.
Is it a light magnum say around 1200fps or 1600fps full magnum velocity?

I have a 3 screw myself. I never have shot it.

Good work by that cameraman getting the fireball shots!
