Have you considered pistol in 10mm like: Glock, M&P, FNH, XD,...? Unless you are willing to buy specialty loads or roll your own and use it for hunting I see no point in getting .41Magnum revolver. Why not .44 Magnum for greater power & versitility? Both .41 Magnum and .44 Magnum guns are offered in same size package.
