The 41 Colt,blackpowder round has been around since the 1870s.It also was loaded with a Heeled bullet,similar to our beloved 22 s,l,and lr,cartridges.
And as such had various case lengths thru its evolution to final offering. Ole Elmer liked it, saying it was a heap better than a .38 Spec. for personal defense. But Elmer always liked bigger...
