    I paid $650 for mine back when they came out...

    Another one came up for sale and it sold for only $2200...just never know day to day what an auction will bring.

    Rod...#1 was nice enough to make this a sticky so it is easy to find for everyone and keep going...just wish a few more makers would start producing some .41s...

    A big boost would be if someone would SAAMI certify the .41 Special...Ruger GP-100, Python and 686 could all be made in 6 shot revolvers...

    Will 6 shots fit in the 686 cylinder or would it need to be a 5 shot? I just compared my 696 cylinder to my mid frame Blackhawk cylinder and there is quite a difference. Seems like there may not be enough room for the cartridge rim.

    That is quite possible as I didn't check the L-frame... I know it will with the Python and GP-100...

    Very nice!

    How thick are the cylinder walls under the bolt notches? Seems like that would be the limiting factor with respect to pressures.

    I don't know exactly but it should still be as thick as a 625 the bolt should be similar between a N and an L frame. I shoot .45Super in my 625s.........

    I blew a bolt knotch on a N frame one time. That will wake you up..........

    Thanks for the compliment Bob.........

    Dave clements was going to convert a 686 4" for me into a 6 shooter 41 special . He said that the GP100 made a better conversion and was a stronger gun . Before I had collected the funds , he went out of business .
    In a 41 magnum case , 7.0 grs of Titegroup with a 210 gr cast bullet is a very nice , accurate , shoot all day load yet will take care of most business if called upon . Hodgdon's list 6.5-7.5 grs . Regards Paul

    Yeah, a 4” GP100 in .41 Spc would be the cat’s keester!

    If looking for lighter recoiling , easy shooting loads , you don't need " special cases " just use a lighter weight bullet in a magnum case . A 180 gr seated over 7.5 grs of Unique using a magnum case reportedly yields about 800-850 gps depending on barrel length , your gun etc . 6.5 grs of Unique using same bullet in a magnum case should yield about 775 fps . These loads make for some " easy shooting " have fun all day loads . What's not to like ? Regards Paul

    The idea of the .41 special is to get away from the 3 pound revolver. A mid-Fram or .41 frame gun is the Ideal in .41spl….::.

    I have been tempted to convert either a 60s vintage Colt Trooper or one of the new stainless Pythons to .41 Special...

    The no longer available Taurus Trackers made great .41 Specials....

    The new colt pythons should make a great 41 special . The cylinder is a bit shorter than the model 28's . I have an old Ideal mold in a 152 gr swc . The nose is too long for the new python that I have but it fits in my model 28 . So yes , I personally think the new python would make an ideal 41 special candidate . Regards Paul
