IMO the .41mag is a much better round than the .44mag.
Stupid easy to load for.
I have 3 right now. A S&W 57 and 2 Ruger SA. One old model and one new model.
You might very well be right. I had a model 57 which was not only beautifully made, it shot as well as any revolver I have ever owned. It pretty much equals the .44 mag and has thicker cylinder walls and should hold up a little better.
Despite that, I do really like the model 29 and the Super Blackhawk. Also ammo is much more available for the .44 mag.
I dunno. I have the M19, the M57 and the M29. Love the 29, not so much the 57. I suspect it’s because my 29 is an 8-3/4 barrel, so barrel flip is a little bit less. The 57 is a standard 6.
I have a cache of brass (never re-loaded) somewhere in my storage space. What do you pay for those?
