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.

It will be excellent for that,deer,black bear,antelope etc,out to 100 yds if you can shoot it well.

If you buy it and don’t care for it let me know.

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.

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

Never had a 41 but my dad has a contender and loves it. He has 8 or so barrels for it.

How close ya getting with them iron sights?

Inside of 30 yards, and, back in the day, lots of practice.

That is one pretty animal. I will never see one......jk

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.

Hoping to buy a Ruger Blackhawk bisley in 41 mag.

Mine is a single action Ruger with the 5 3/4 barrel .Handy

Have a 44 S&W M-29 2 Silhouette 10 inch barrel killed a lot of critters over the years . Gettn to be a lot of recoil in the last couple years

i like the 41

blackhawk, took several deer with it - had to be close for me to hit it though

Have a S&W model 57 in 41 mag, real nice.

I have 2 a smith mod 57 and a ruger blackhawk. Quite a few deer have been harvested between the 2

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.
