Just a question what ihas a .41 done that  .44 cant or wont?
Elmer Keith was a very clever bloke I give him credit for that but making a .41 was sort of like inventing a 5 cylinder engine when there is already a 4 and a 6.
Just rebarrel the sucker.


2 things,
#1  It's TAB
#2 It would be pretty cool to have a revolver that you more or less built yourself from parts, even if they are only big parts  ;D

Depending on how bad the barrel is bulged I might shoot it as is.

Good point, if the accuracy is still there I would not care if it looked like a python that just ate a dog.   ;D

maybe I want something bigger then 357, but smaller then a 44 mag?
I know I can load a 44 mag, anywhere from something that just makes it down the barrel to  mack truck stoping...

If I want to push paper I have 22s.  I don't plan on hunting mack trucks.  I would like something hotter then a 357 for pig hunting.  41 mag fits that bill and I can get factory ammo if I choose too.  I also like that I can load upt to 265 grain bullet in a 41 mag.  max for a 357 in 180.  you can drive both at about 1400 fps with easy, but the 265 grainer has a extra 300 ftlbs of energy.

Most of my shot guns are 16 ga,  I like having things others don't.



its bulged enough to where its not safe to shoot.    I could make a snuby out of it... 44 mag and snubby should be words that never go toegther.

That's the other thing I was wondering about. A snubbie. That would be uniquely yours.

  That is something I could do very easyly now that I have a mill.  I have no desire to own a snubby in 44 mag.  Just like I have no desire to own a ultra light wieght hunting rifle in a mag chambering, or a single shot break barrel 3.5" mag 12 ga shot gun.


I'll leave those to the "smart people"...   ;)

41 Mag seems to be like 10 MM, Kind of a"Cult Classic".
TAB got a deal on the 44 Mag so it's a really inexpensive route into the .41Mag that I have heard people say never really got a fair shake.

Beleive it or not, I understand what TAB is wanting to do. I have my eye on a .357 Uberti SAA revolver in a local shop. They want around $240.00 for it. This would make an eazy conversion to a .41 special.
