Count me in. I had a 6" and then a 4" M57. Beautiful revolvers, accurate and fun to shoot.
Of course, I am a handloader, so the negatives were non-existent for me.

All that said, I reached a crossroads. Had to choose between the .41 Mag and the .45 Long Colt. Given my advancing age, at a certain point, .45LC made more sense to me, and that's the direction I went.

Still miss the .41, and every time I see an M57, I get a twinge.

But at the end of the day, the M25/.45LC allows a wide range of loads, everything from woodchuck fart (not quite mouse fart) to buffalo killer.

If you are younger than 70 (give or take), and your wrists have not been beaten up over the years, then the .41 Mag is an incredibly versatile, enjoyable and viable cartridge.

As long as you are a handloader.
