Subject heading about handles it all... What, in your opinion, is the best current production 44 mag with a 6" or less barrel, and why? A Super Blackhawk with a 5 1/2 to 7 1/2 inch barrel is hard to beat but my personal favorite is 5 1/2 inch Blackhawk convertable in 45 LC and 45 ACP.
Yes! A Weatherby does kill them deader.

Everyone wants the .44 mag. What's wrong with a .41 mag other than it's not multicaliber? I have had a Ruger for years and love it. Ammo price isn't that different either. Just asking for opinions.

I have a Marlin 336S in .41 magnum along with a Ruger Bisley and a Dan Wesson (4"/8") in the same calibre. It's a great cartridge, but if I did it again i'd go with the .44. Reloading it really reduces the costs and there's some great cast bullets available in .41, but there's just more options in .44

Ruger Super Blackhawk 3.75" Bisley. Very handy and comfortable to shoot.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

Ruger super Blackhawk. Single action trigger and traditional look in a big revolver that's fun to shoot.

Tehachapi, I would love to have a rifle in .41 to match the pistol but haven't been able to find one. Wasn't sure it was even possible to get that caliber in a rifle but now I have hope.

lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true
Mainstream news might be fun to watch

Marlin made a couple of runs of .41 mag including one with an octagonal barrel for CAS iirc. Keep your eyes open they pop up occasionally.

Can't go wrong with Ruger anything. Their revolvers are built like tanks
