New Taurus 41 mag.
« on: March 25, 2011, 05:50:39 AM »
I'm a new owner of a 41 Taurus Mag, but don't see a model # on it ::)
It has a 2 1/2 barrel, satin finished and ported. Has a K in front of serial #

Haven't shot it yet, but I know it's gonna be an ear ringer! So does anyone on the forum have such an animal?

I have a Taurus Tracker in 41 Mag, 4" ported barrel.  Model 425.        The site lists the 2-1/2"  Model 415  as without the ported barrel.  Is it new?    The rubber grip on them takes  some sting out of hotter loads.  The model # is located under the crane.

I think this must be the mod 415, although I haven't seen any with the ported barrel.
I bought it used. Took it out to the range. With 170 gr. got some good groups, dead on at 15 yds.
With the 210's it shot about 6 inches high, at same distance. Recoil not bad. Even with the 210's.

With the short barrel it's strictly a defense gun for me, so I'll stick with the 170 gr HP's.

Sure S&W still is its one of there "N" frame classics.  I just purchased two brand new S&W model 57 and model 58 in 41mag in nickel finish for $699 each on sale.   Ruger also makes the blackhawk in 41mag too.  There redhawk in 41mag was discontinued.  I may look at the taurus in 41mag too.  Sounds interesting too.  I been thinking about a snubbie in 41mag too. I like the 800ft.lbs too.  I been CCW the model 58 w/4'' barrel with an in the pants holster. Bill

BTW;  On the net at all the gun forums there seems to be a lot of love for the 41mag.  I never knew there were so many 41mag owners out there.  Maybe its gaining in popularity now after all these many years of being over looked. I wish that ruger would bring back the redhawk in 41mag too. the 41mag fills in that nitch beteen the 357mag and the 44mag perfectly. If a shooter wants something bigger than a 357mag yet can't handle the 44mag the 41mag is perfect.  The 41mag with a 210gr bullets has more power than the 44mag with a 210gr bullet plus its a flatter shooting round too.  I like the 44mag and have them too but the 41mag is kind of special to me.

I have a Smith Model 57 with a 4" tube.  I found it in my local gun store.  It was a consignment gun.  The owner had been a Bait, Tackle and Gun dealer here in Vegas for many years and when his neiborhood went down the tubes he sold the building and the land.  He had quite a few handguns that were in his stock that he had not sold. 

This one was made back in the day when they had pinned barrels and countersunk chambers in the cylinders.   I paid a ton of money for it but it had never been fired and it came in the original box with a cleaning rod, brush, mop and instructions and such.

I took off the clunky Magna grips it came with and replaced them a set of Jerry Mickluk's competition one piece grips.  Great grips.  A PITA to install but once they are on they work great....fits my hand great and the recoil is not too bad. 

I ordered 500 cases from Starline and a with a decent mold I am casting 220 gr alloy boolits over about 7 grains of Unique powder.  From this gun with a 4" tube I am getting 950 FPS, manageable recoil and very good accuracy.   I know I can load it hotter but I really have no need for a faster round unless I were to take it Hog Hunting.  In such a case I would load it up with 2400 powder and find a good safe hunting loading for it using these boolit molds but I would change the alloy.
