Wow, you had a chance to get a model 57 for $399! That was a great price! I picked up a Stainless Redhawk in .41 Magnum new in the box for $360 back in 1998. Never fired it!
The ammo is expensive and I have never purchased a box of .41 magnum ammo. Never. I have always loaded my own. Heck, when I bought my Ruger Blackhawk in .41 magnum the gun shop "gave" me a box of ammo. I shot that box and didn't shoot it again until 1993. That's when I started reloading with a progressive press....Dillon RL 550B and that is how I afforded shooting the .41 magnum. Hornady XTP 210 grain bullets are amazing.
Yeah didnt think of it till after to cheek wis cartridge co price. Went back the next weekend but of course it was gone.
Hey, I just realized I have TWO guns you don't have!
