Last Sunday I received a PM from a forum member, telling me not to expect 5 bore 41 magnum in GP100, just 6 bore 41 Special. In his view, 41 Magnum will have heavy recoil, and why would somebody need such caliber in GP100.
I answered, quote:
"You have inside information!?...
...When there is 10mm Auto, I don't need 41 Special...
..Because 41 Magnum could be always downloaded to 41 Special level. opposite cannot be done. Also, if GP100, 6" has 45 oz, and 41 Magnum Blackhawk 6.5" has 41 oz, where do you see a problem? IMO, Ruger should run both; 41 Special, with 4.2" barrel, and 41 Magnum with 4.2" and 6" barrels."
BTW, he didn't participate in this thread.
Anybody else received similar PM?
