Based on my current concealed carry of the last several years the 9X19mm but before that the 45ACP.
LOL! 40 caliber 180 grain bullet... Guess i jumbled it together!Does it shoot a 40 grain bullet or a 180 grain bullet? Ive never owned or shot a .38-40.
Stay safe.
I think that is the primary reason that the 41mag is nowhere near as popular as the 357 or 44. The 41mag is closer in power to the 44 than the 357. But that is why most shooters/hunters go with the extra power of the 44mag and have readily available 44 special loads too. I have all three in L frame size revolvers. They are all great cartridges.This is no way means I have any problems with a .41. Just don't need a "in-between" caliber.
You're right. You can always load a big cartridge down, but there's a limit to how much you can load a little cartridge up. That's why I love the .45 -- you can load it from "Ruger only" to "cowboy action."Seems to be the most prevalent argument for .41 mag, is where it falls between the .357 and .44. Maybe if in the real world we were actually restricted to having "just one caliber", it would ring truer. I personally see no huge advantage of the .41 over the .357 as compared to what it lacks compared to the .44. While MHO is that the .44 is a better deer cartridge than .357, I have taken more deer with my .357 revolvers than with the .44s. What is also important to me, is how much more enjoyable my .357s are at the range when I want to shoot all day. This is what would make the choice difficult. But since I do not have to make that choice.......I don't.

Now the big question what barrel length and finish?I think I’m going to treat myself for one of those stainless Ruger Bisley 44 Specials for Christmas.
4.6" and stainless.Now the big question what barrel length and finish?
I just ran across this. Jerry makes a VERY convincing case for 357 Magnum. What a cool guy.
Yeah, it's a 180g, and actually a .40 not a .38.Does it shoot a 40 grain bullet or a 180 grain bullet? Ive never owned or shot a .38-40.
Stay safe.
Maybe you should watch a few of his videos before you make judgment.I did not watch that youtube video but just from the picture in the original post I have to say that the guy that declares the .38 Special the perfect cartridge. Period. is very young.
Let him shoot another 100,000 rounds and own another 100 guns ( if he has that much experience at all ) and he might see things differently - or even see the light.
