I'd buy a 3" or 4" steel framed (smaller than N frame) Smith in 41 magnum with a 5-shot cylinder. It would make an excellent woods gun or self defense piece.
I also think there is a place for a 41 special. Manufactures are limited to the maximum pressures of the 41 magnum in building a revolver. A 41 special would solve that problem. But it would probably be priced about the same as the magnum loads since demand would be less just like the 44 Special factory ammo. Loading costs are not just component cost, there are volume considerations.
I need to find a Marlin 1894 in 41 mag since they aren't cataloged anymore. I put off buying one and now they stopped production. My 41 mag accumulation is dominated by Model 57's. I have one each of the Blackhawk and Redhawk in 41 mag. I think it may be time for another ammo order from GA Arms.
