Fornra, nothing against you or the 41 magnum. I have a S&W57 and love it...but 41 magnum is EXPENSIVE if you don't handload...even then its more expensive than the 44 mag. Ammo in my parts is nearly twice the price of the 44. I wouldn't suggest it to a guy who just wants a fun gun. It is a great caliber though, shame it's introduction was mishandled.
