Did S&W or Ruger make a "Less-than-N-Frame" size .41 magnum?

[Gary in Pennsylvania]

Did either S&W or Ruger make a less than 'N' size or less than Redhawk size .41 magnum???

My dream of a .41mag GP-100 is not physically impossible, but is, for me, financially impossible.

Anyone know???

Thanks!

All S&W .41 mags where N frame. Ruger makes the .41 mag in the new model Black Hawk single action. The Redhawk .41 mag is no longer in production and pretty rare.

Other than the Redhawk, the only .41 Mag. chambered Rugers I've seen are Blackhawks.

Not an answer to your question but Taurus makes or used to make a 5 shot, .41 mag. revolver that's a little smaller than an L frame and a little bigger than a K frame.

Smith makes the light weight Model 357PD in 41 mag. It is much lighter than the steel N-frames.

It is hard to find Redhawks in 41 mag. I believe they were all 5.5" models. The Blackhawk is available in two barrel lengths.

I know what you mean, I'd love to have a smaller .41 than my 657. I'm never quite sure if I shoot shoot with it or use it as a club.
