Great round, as long as you reload or don't mind spending $.75 to $1 every time you pull the trigger. It's making a bit of a comeback but was considered a dead cartridge with almost no new firearms chambered for it just a few years ago. Component bullet choices are limited but apparently it's an accurate, pleasant round to shoot. I rank it right bwlow the .44 Special on my "want list".
Also .41 Mag is a bit of a misnomer. Unlike other magnums it is not based on a shorter case but since it was marketed as something between the .44 Mag and the .357 Mag the label was tacked on.
