Does anyone here have any info on the .41 Special cartridge? This was apparently a wildcat; someone decided to make the shortened .41Mag that never was. Someone on the www.sixgunners.com board said that John Gallagher once converted a Ruger Single Six to .41 Spl., which sounds like a rather novel project.
Has anyone ever toyed with this? Any idea what the ballistic figures would be for this cartridge? Mainly, I'm curious over whether it would have any advantage over the .44 Spl or .38 Spl, as the .41 Mag is supposed by it's fans to be superior to the .44 or .357 Mag.
I suppose it'd probably cost at least $500 to rebarrel and recylinder a K-frame or Single-Six, but some folks have odd whims.
