for $300. it just called out to me i dont know a thing about the 41 mag so was this
a good deal or not gun was made in 2006 what mold do i need to get for this what
powder works thanks

[Guesser]

I walked up on a similar deal 4 years ago. Mine was a 2005 model, had been refinished with Robar black finish, had a beautiful set of Hogue checkered Pau ferro grips, all the springs had been upgraded and the gun had a steel grip frame. In the used section. The clerk agreed with me that it didn't look as if it had been fired and everything was with it that came from the factory, including the fired case and it was still in the sealed manila envelope. OEM grips were there too. Priced at 350 out the door; and out the door it went. Gun smith receipt was in the box for all the work that had been done on it. Great gun; but I already favored 41 Magnum and had several, just not a NMBH.

How dare they try to sell it to you at that price (as I warm up the car)...You wait till I get to the ATM err store ! Man the nerve of some people lol

To surrender to love is never wrong--unless Momma finds out. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

LUCKYDAWG13:
There are many molds out there for the .41's. You can't go wrong with the Lyman 410459. This is their (Lyman's) version of the
original Keith design. There are also Lee (the cheapest) money wise, RCBS, and many custom makers.
My first handgun (1968) was the 3 screw Ruger BH in .41 magnum. It also had the 4 5/8" barrel. I shot thousands of rounds
through it. I sold it to my uncle. It still shoots good.
You will enjoy the .41 magnum. Good snag sir.
Regards
Jack

I don't do .41, but I would buy it anyway.

[Love Life]

I would have bought it and flipped it and then bought something that interested me.

Just remember, it's better to beg forgiveness than to ask permission. Just do it!

oh i did it

[brasshog]

Tell her that you inherited your grandpa's old gun that your father had restored to like new condition ? Lol

[TheCelt]

I have that exact same revolver and I LOVE it!!! Like you I got it at an unheard of discounted price and knew why when I got it. The trigger pull was 8 1/2 lbs!!! I did a search for spring fixes and found a page that outlined very simple "adjustments" to one spring. I followed the easy instructions to the "T" and wound up with a smooth, crisp 3lb trigger pull. The link is easy to find with a google search if you need it. You are gonna LOVE that pistol!!!

[LUCKYDAWG13]

LOL i jut did that to my SP101

The Keith mold is good, I use it for heavy loads. There's another Lyman mold that is really good, provided you don't mind gas checks, #410610. It's 215 grain and in semi wadcutter form. I use 2400 as powder and, after buying a lot of Winchester cases from a store, put in an order to Starline brass for 500 cases. The Starline brass is a little softer and easier to work with. The best dies out there are RCBS, I usually go with the cheaper Group B dies. Mine are #18512. Thats 3 die, carbide. Has it's own belling die. That's just what I do.

With 2400 magnum powder, it runs from 14 grains to 16 grains. The top loads are seriously NOT for the faint of heart in a 41 mag. It's big enough for any North American game, moose, elk and bear (uh oh).

Good Luck,
Ron

PS: I'm a bit jealous, I was wanting the shorter version of my 6&1/2" Blackhawk.

good buy!

Attachment 105935 This one is mine!

You will enjoy 41 magnum. Here's my story:

I bought a Blackhawk but, did load development with a 14" TC Contender single shot. I loaded up 5 rounds of each during the springtime. It was early spring and very cool that morning. So, I just grabbed up an old particle board desktop and a paper target. Went to the range and propped up my target board at 50 yards. I started shooting the 14 through 15 grain range. Target board kept falling down because I had just propped it up with a single 2x2 stick. At about 15 grains, it started to come down rather than shooting a high arc. I think I was at about 15.5 when I hit the bullseye. Board fell down so, I walked up to pick it up.

When I got there, I discovered that I hit the bullseye perfect and split that 2x2 at the same time. Even left a bullet trail on the grain of one stick. Blew that thing apart and kept traveling like nobody's business! Just pick up some good ear protection, muzzle blast is pretty serious. Friend of mine called the 41 mag, " ******"!

I had a ex girlfriend that didnt like me buying guns every week. so i would take a case with me and she would say where you going, i would say ohhh going to sell a gun/or going to get a gun worked on. But the case was empty. she finally caught on that i was buying guns, after my cabinet was over flowing and was looking to buy a safe. Then i got smart, i would only go to the gun shop when she was at work. hahahaha. Yes if i were going into the store for powder and saw BlackHawk for 300, there would be no powder in the truck on the way home, there would be a new toy going with me.
