Can anyone tell me about the .41 . Ive really been wanting a combo,i know Ruger made a sixgun in .41,and i love that old model 95 rem. derringer,so is the .41 a good round,and would the same .41 work in both the derringer and the revolver,and hopefully a rifle too?Thanks.

The old Remington Derringers were in .41 Rimfire, a completely different round from .41 Magnum.
Firing .41 Magnum, even in a relatively tame loading like the Silvertip, out of a Reminton-pattern derringer would be unpleasant, to say the least.
Ruger, S&W and Taurus all make revolvers chambered for the fine .41 Magnum cartridge.

By .41 I guess you mean the .41Remington Magnum. It is a fantastic cartridge. It can be had in single and double action revolvers, single shots, lever actions, and o/u derringers.
Right now, the easiest lever action in .41Magnum to get ahold of is the Marlin 1894FG. I believe that American Derringer will still take a special order for the .41Magnum. That's where I got mine. As Tamara says, the derringer in .41Magnum is not for the faint of heart.
At present, a good Ruger Blackhawk in .41Magnum would probably be the least costly to acquire at present. I've picked up a couple good used ones for under $250 at gunshows, pawnshops, and consigned guns at local gunshops. Good luck in your search.

I had a .41 Ruger Redhawk. Real nice gun, but with caliber consolidation, I sold it.
I miss it.
It's a great round that not everyone has, but can get close to .44 and .45 colt levels - well, reasonable hunting levels anyway.
Hmmm. I really miss that gun...

Also...
.41 Short Colt
.41 Long Colt
Both rather wimpy...bout on a par with .38/200 for punch.
Sub-diameter cases with heeled bullet.
And long considered obselete.
Plus
.41 action express, autoloader round with rebated rim so as to work with existing 9mm bolt faces. Definately a nich gun.

If you're talking about the 41 Mag. then I'll say it's my favorite wheel-gun for hunting. Mines a Smith 57 6" barrel. It will do just about what 44 Mag. up to 220 gr. bullets but with less recoil.
I shoot 357 mag., 41 Mag., 44 Mag. , 444 Marlin, 45 Colt, 454 Casull and I'm getting a 480 Ruger from handguns and the 41 is the best whitetail round going.
Have a good day

Sisco:
What kind of sights do you have on the Marlin?
I'm thinking about putting peep sights on mine but haven't decided which ones.

Let's not forget the .41 Special....
.41 Mag is great, and you can sometimes find great deals on used ones just because they're not .44s.

A .41 magnum was the first revolver I shot. The pistol was what my uncle carried when he was with DPS in Texas. It would be an understatement to say it impressed me then (12 years old). I have shot the .41 mag round a few times since then, and I have to say it is a fun round.

The .41 Magnum
In praise of the .41 Magnum...IMHO probably the best of the original magnum revolver calibers. Now, if Smith & Wesson would just produce it in
an L-frame, 5-shot revolver with a 3-inch barrel and a round butt...with
FIXED SIGHTS, please...The very thought fairly makes my head spin.
Oh yeah...Put the firing pin back on the hammer where it belongs!
