I've wanted a .41 mag revolver for a long time. Today I went in "just to look".
It took about 5 minutes. I looked at a S&W model 57, a S&W model 657, and a Ruger Blackhawk.
Ultimately it came down to the 657 and the blackhawk. Double action vs single action, 657 was a bit heavier and fit my hand a wee bit better, I've heard that the blackhawk can handle the heaviest allowable reloads with no problems...it wasn't a black and white decision. Ultimately the $200 price difference was the deciding factor. I went with the Blackhawk.
Can't wait to shoot it. I really can't wait to introduce the deer to it come November. I think they're gonna love it.
Now I need to pick up my reloading dies and I'll be in business.
