Cult caliber...if you know what's good for you, you'll stay with the .45 Colt....buy one .41 and you'll end up in the poor house...the fentanyl of the revolver cartridge world... Idaho Shooter...Ron...addicts all started by someone they call The Enabler.... smile

And no, the OM Blackhawks in .41 were on the standard BH frame which is the .44 Magnum size frame, not the older Mid-frame flat top of the .357s.

If your friend with the 7.5" BH really has a 7.5", then the gun will be a Bisley or one of the stainless Hunter Models with SBH or Bisley gripframe. Standard BHs come in 4 5/8" or 6.5". There was also a stainless Bisley with a 5.5" barrel and a .44 Magnum size flat top in blue with the same length barrels. There was also one short run of standard BHs in stainless...

As to the 170 Sierra...best bullet for deer going. 26.0 grains of H110 runs in the 1600s from a 6.5" barrel. Gary Reeder's favorite .41 bullet for deer.

If you would like some cast HPs look at GT bullets...his favorite caliber is the .41 and he has a big selection...excellent prices. Matt's Bullets have a MP 190 grain WC HP that would make a great self-defense bullet....

You get hooked...don't say I didn't warn you...

If you can not deal with reality, reality will deal with you....
