Its alive and well and one of the most popular pistol rounds ever made.

Post by: Old Guy on June 02, 2011, 12:06:01 AM: 41 Magnum, the Thinking Man's Magnum as one gun writer described it.

Anything the 44 mag can do, the 41 can do as well, with noticably Less recoil.

I've loaaded it weaker than a 38 spl, my normal target loads equal standard 357 mag loads.

Plus, you always get your brass back at competitions.

At least until the 21SF pistol came out, which is why it is obsolete now. Ive still got some .45GAP brass that I picked up along the way, I hate it when the stuff gets mixed in my .45 ACP.

The glock 21sf is still fatter. It does not have the same dimensions as a g17.

Why is 10mm on this list?

Its quickly becoming obsolete.

Very few venues carry 10mm ammo.
There is very little manufacturer support.

I suspect unless something changes, it will go the way of the 41 magnum soon.
