I am looking to get my first revolver. I was set on a stainless Ruger GP100, 4" .357 but saw at my local gunshop a Ruger Redhawk in .41 magnum for around $650 IIRC. I think the barrel length was either 5.5 or 6" (I have emailed my local shop to confirm). I am leaning towards the .41 mag just because I have a Glock 10mm already so I don't think I'll be gaining anything with a .357.
my purpose would be a "walk in the woods" type of gun, kill any varmints or potential 4 or 2 legged threats crossing my path. It won't really be for hunting. I have other calibers for home defense so let's take that out of the equation.
.41 mag ammo seems readily available online and is comparable to some of the prices I am paying for my 10mm ammo. Is .41 mag ammo prices relatively flat-lined or do they fluctuated widely? I don't reload as that I live in a townhouse with no appropriate space to do reloading.
anyone on here that loves the .41 mag? Is the price on a mint condition Redhawk stated above a bit too much? There are not many on gunbroker or other auction sites to compare...
thanks.
