Never needed a 45 but had plenty of 22 thru 44’s in various rounds, short and long guns. Enjoy what you shoot, and shoot what will get the job done well.
Fwiw, many overlooked and underestimated perhaps the modest 6.5’s in rifles. Later, lots of folks discovered how effective they are and perhaps that is correlated to a good degree with shoot ability.
The 41’s might be more popular if that were the largest of the big bores. Many folks want the biggest. But lest anyone underestimate the capability of a 41, they should try one.
I know one shooter who enjoys a 41 and will admit that’s as much recoil as they want 😉 More recoil brings just that, but may not do anything more in the field on game. But again, it’s all about enjoying yourself. Good shooting folks.
I suspect majority of .41 Magnum buyers reload their own ammo, therefore, should be able to download .44 Magnum to realize lower recoil level. The .44 Special loads can also be used. From practical sense .41 Magnum is worth only 1 fart, or half fart more than 5,7x28.
