Lots of good links and posts here: https://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?276144-41-Magnum-41-Special-Load-Data-CenterIt is too bad that there are so few manufacturers who still make .41s today...Ruger, Freedom Arms and Henry are the only ones I know of...yet there are more ammo manufacturers and loads than ever before...go figure. FA make some great .41s... ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/120932.jpg)
If you can not deal with reality, reality will deal with you....

Tried to buy a 57 in Tulsa. I ended up with a 97% in the box 29. I also picked up a 15 that had been bead blasted and re-blued. Tried to pick up a 57 at an auction. Bid on three different ones - I’m just a cheap skate, I guess. I think there was a time when 58’s and 57’s were inexpensive, not so much anymore.
I prefer classic.

Bugger, I think you'd be very lucky to get one for around $1000-1100 these days.

The 41 has long been a favorite of mine. I have a Mountain Gun so chambered and a Ruger Bisley fluted cylinder in 41. Both are wonderfully accurate. I’m selling a few guns to fund some gun projects and the Bisley is one of those projects. Hope to get the barrel clipped to 5.5”, Fermin Garza front sight, action job and I have a set of unfinished Rob Rowan Dall sheep horn grips to be fitted.
Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.

Remarkably easy, you can order one from places like Buds, Grab a Gun,..... it we be close to $1100 to get one in your hands. You do not have to use child safety lock if you do not want to, simple yes? Big upside is you will not loose lot in resale if you choose to carry and shoot it, but it might take little longer to find willing buyer due to caliber, most want .44 Magnum. Old pinned and recessed stuff is best left to internet "show and tell" collector guys, unless you do not mind big depreciation in value from use. You see "show and tell" pics all the time, a revolver with shot target, ammo, empties no signs of use like famed cylinder ring.

Whoever told you that the classic pre-locks would depreciate in value by shooting them (unless they're unfired in the original box, perhaps) doesn't know much about guns. Unless I abuse/neglect them or blow them up, my pre-lock 57's will always be worth more than the Hillary guns, even though I choose to shoot them. And yes; mine have that "famed cylinder ring".

Jcon, thank you. I wasn't even going to answer this guy. Lol.
