Yes, IMHO a 41mag is even more of novelty handgun.

Regarding my friends with the coyote problems. I'm going to recommend a shotgun for them since they're not "gun" people.

However, I'm still waffling whether a 357mag or 44mag fits my needs better. There's also an emotional connection with the 357mag since it was the first center fire handgun I had from moving from 22lr.
