Anyone have one good or bad experiences
Have the chance to buy a TC contender with a 41 mag barrel at a really good price so I could always jut get a different barrel
Really looking for something for close range deer hunting

41 is a great round. I have had a few different wheel guns in 41 over the years.
I have nothing clever to put here.

I've carried a .41 for many years. Killed a nice moose, caribou, couple black bears and a Dall sheep, along with a surly grizzly. Really like the caliber. Jack

Bought a 41mag pistol last fall , haven't fired it yet. Rounds are a little scarce and pricey for it.

I have one in a wheel gun. I don’t think you can go wrong pairing a contender and a 41 Mag. With the Hornady Leverevolution you will be surprised at the range and accuracy you can get. Agreed! my 41 mag revolvers have taken 2 elk, 2 mule deer, over 40 whitetails, and 2 black bears since '83...the "field" model wears a 2x Burris (if shots could be 100 yds-ish) and the "brush" model has open sights, for in the thick stuff. I also shot one in Big Bore Handgun Silhouette matches from '83-'89 with open sights out to 200 meters.

I have one in a Henry Big Boy carbine. I love to shoot it and used it on a few deer and a bear. Ammo can be hard to find at the big box stores, but other than that its not bad. If you can get it at a good price, I would. They make some pretty heavy loads for it, if that is want you want. I like Federal vital shok out of mine.

Ive got several 41 mags. I started with a Blackhawk a fellow used for cowboy shooting competions with 41 specials(he had actual headstamped cases that came with it). The second one was a smith 657. My third is a Henry Big Boy rifle. I handload everything I shoot so ammo availability is no problem at all.
