I am quite fond of the 41 Mag. (We are the same age!) I think it would make a dandy handi!!
Orig designed as a Police cartridage, approximating the 44mag, with less recoil. (No so much really) Today its all but completely overshadowed by the caliber it was supposed to better, the big 44. Its still a good caliber, but not so, many bullet offerings and less firearms so chambered. I fear its traveling into obscurity.
I still have a Marlin '94 a old mdl. Ruger Black Hawk and a couple Smiths so chambered.
