Anyone laid hands on one yet? It's a Davidson's exclusive, it may not be catalouged. What's the general consensus of a 3" 41 mag? I prefer short barreled handguns and this looks too good to pass up.

Threads like this are why I love gun message boards. I learn about guns I'd love to have but had no idea existed.
Pity the new S&W L frame five shot .44 Magnum model 69 was not made a six shot.41 magnum.

Made me think of the soldier in Paris this morning who shot an attacker multiple times and didn't kill him.The problem with the .41 Mag. caliber is it is a ".41" Mag. and as such will never sell as well as the .44 Mag. It was never really accepted by the masses or very popular when it was introduced in 1964. It could have and should have been the ideal LEO cartridge (back when LEOs still carried revolvers) because it really is a huge step up from the .357 Mag. But the LEO administrators decided they "needed" more little bullets than only 5 or 6 big ones. Unfortunately for us the marketing clowns decide what gets built. And most Americans firmly believe that more is better - we like the biggest bullets and biggest TVs and the biggest cheeseburgers and the biggest trucks we can buy. But I agree with the above posts - the L frame S&W or the Ruger GP frame in .41 Mag. would make a very fine carry gun. Heck, I would sell off a .44 Mag. to get one. I also wish Winchester had produced the 94 Trapper in .41 Mag. I have several in other calibers but a .41 Mag would have been a perfect carbine IMO.
I have to wonder what the French are using for a cartridge. I really liked the idea of the MP5 in 10mm but I have read there are problems with the gun in 10mm. A 3 shot burst of 10mm ought to do the job right now.
... It seems like it would be a big step up from the 9mm in an MP5.
