4.5 gr of titegroup and a 210 gr cast SWC make a good .41 Special load in my Blackhawk.

Before or after it burns? Can’t say I’ve ever noticed either, but now that you’ve mentioned it I’ll probably get some kind of weird psychosis.

I shoot indoors so the odor is very noticeable, in fact those in booths next to me usually get a funny look when they smell it.

If you're looking for a pic or two: here's my 4 digit serial numbered Old Model (3-screw) with a set of stocks I made up from horse fencing. Given the unthinkable demand to limit my handguns to one and only one...this pistola would be a very strong contender. Best Regards, Rod

My Mod. 58 was my second purchase of S&W guns. It was lightly used as I first saw it.
It saw use in finishing off a feral Hog. I shot an Exotic Ram with it … 6 years after I bought the .41. It is going to be retired as one of my house guns. ( loaded all the time … naw) Later on I bought a 10 inch TC/Contender Barrel with a schnabel / front fore end. My Hotter handloads go thru that single shot. Yep, I am glad to be a member of the “ .41 Magnum Society” .

...so did anyone get anything with a .41 this hunting season?
Was about to drop the hammer on a nice doe opening morning in Pennsylvania when a friend hunting nearby shot at one and scared mine off... Was the only shot I had all week... Bob |

I recently went to a local gunshow looking for a set of flat bottom grips for one of my 1911's and though none of the dealers had none, one did have this new in box TALO edition Redhawk in .41mag. When I saw it I had to really contain my excitement and try to make a deal. I did and now my .41mag Redhawk collection is complete.

Got a shorter barrel Ruger 3 screw .41 back in 79 or 80 and liked it some, was beginning to get an appreciation for the .41 mag, but unfortunately where I lived the revolver I had wasn't legal for deer (barrel too short) and I needed a deer rifle, so I wound up letting it go and getting a Marlin .30-30.
After that, I never got another .41, got interested in .44s and .45s instead. Nothing wrong with the .41, just not for me.
