How much R&D could there be? Seems like the aftermarket has done most of it already.
Lone Star Custom Grips.
I've seen this said by others and the solution is to size down .41 bullets to 10mm.Only problem with the 10mmMag, aside from taper crimping is bullet availability. Where the 10mm is maxed out, the .41 is just getting started.
I think it's more along the lines of a fantasy, people's dream gun they know is never gonna happen. The .41 Mag could fit in a GP100 size revolver while .44 Mag could not. Of course, most of what would be shot from a .41 GP100 is loads about the same power as .357, just with the potential to shoot the full power .41 Mag.As the cowboy said when asked why he Carries a 45 Colt, because they don’t make a 46 Colt. Never could figure out why some love the 41? I don’t mean it in a bad way. What does it give that a 44 won’t? And never would I think badly of those who love the 41. Just never understood.
Sounds like someone who never owned or fired one.I doubt the 37 fans of the .41
magnum in this country will have
very much influence.
But still, you might prevail.
Good luck.
The .41 magnum clings on only due to a handful of stubborn old guys that claim it has magical properties and somehow does things other cartridges cannot. The entire point of the .41 magnum was lost in translation and the guns made for it were all built on .44 magnum frames and thus ended up even heavier.
The .44 special fits, so why wouldn't the .44 Mag?The .41 Mag could fit in a GP100 size revolver while .44 Mag could not.

I have one. It's the only .41 I've owned and I've had it longer than any gun I have. I've never shot it. I bought it used but it's so pristine it could pass for unfired.Always have admired, however,
the lines of the S&W Model 58.
If I'm gonna have to resize bullets, I'll just cast them in the first place.I've seen this said by others and the solution is to size down .41 bullets to 10mm.
That's another added hassle the .41Mag would alleviate.The 10mm Mag could be roll crimped, but then would necessitate the use of moon clips for headspacing.

But then I was always a sucker
for the S&W .38/44 HD.
Me! Because a model 10 can't launch a 158-173gr bullet at 1350fps.UBesides who would want a big, heavy, large N frame in .38 Special when you could get a nice, new Model 10 instead!
10mm doesn't even best 357 mag in the real world, now it's as good as 41mag????The 6 shot 3" or 4.2" GP-100 in 10 mm with long seated heavy bullet handloads probably comes real close to a 41 mag. At 37,500 psi, the 10 mm rated pressure is just a little more than the 36,000 psi limit for the 41 mag.
The long seating would go along with relying on the moon clips for headspacing so that you could use a good roll crimp.
Having thought about it, seeing a decent used one in a gun shop display would be more likely than ever to prompt action.
