Any 41 magnum shooters?

I was originally turned on to the .41 by a friend of mine. He had lost some fingers and parts of others in an industrial accident. He tried shooting a S&W 29 .44 mag, but couldn’t control it. He sold it off and bought a 57 with 8 3/8” and loved it. After shooting his, I had to have one and bought a. Duplicate. Wish I still had it.
Side note: When I was buying my first handgun, I was set to to get a .357. The LGS was pushing Astras. They had a used nickel 58 .41 for only a little more. Like a dumb a**, I bought the Astra .357… What a piece of S**T!

I had their .44 mag. I liked it OK. I got a good deal, and it shot well. But I sold it to help finance a different gun.

I always wanted a .41; alas no love yet.

A couple of weeks ago I bought my first ever .357 - a GP101 with a 4" barrel.

@Tundra Tiger - how do you like the GP101 and did you compare it to the S&W 686? I don’t care for the newer S&Ws since they added the stupid ‘lock’ and the triggers seem “stiffer” then most pre 2000 models — just from my limited exposure to both. The GP101 is certainly a strong-well made .357 but it seemed a bit “clunky” to me….however, it may be a very fine shooter and for full power .357 loads — unlikely to ‘shoot loose’.
