.41 Rem Mag was another one of those magnum rounds produced by the late Elmer Keith the same guy who created the 357 Magnum, and the 44 Magnum. Elmer Keith apparently had a thing for magnums. The round was developed and tested in the early to mid 60's and is a fairly fast cartridge as most revolver rounds tend to be and flies at an average fps of 1276.

The .41 Remington Magnum packs a huge energy punch with an average energy of 763 from muzzle, this is roughly the equivalent to two 9mm cartridges, and 200 more lbs of force than the mighty 357. This gun makes a big boom. :)

There are many people out there that think the 44 magnum is overkill and two much of a round to handle, but those same people may want something a bit more than a .357. This round is for this select niche of people.

So whats the final weigh in? The .41 Magnum is a helluvah cartridge more than adequate for self/ home defense, some may even say overkill. This cartridge is lots of fun and made a big boom. This cartridge has lots of recoil so the bigger the gun the less you are going to feel it. If you can find a large frame heavy revolver in 41 Mag at a fair price we suggest you pick it up.
