In the N frame S&W the 41 magnum is a better model 29! If you're shooting a single action try to go with a bisley grip frame and at least a 5.5" barrel & you can kill anything out there. No need to shoot crazy hot loads in either, a good, heavy SWC or LBT style bullet will do a lot of killing at 1000-1100 fps & be very easy to handle.
