Congrats on the new handgun ! Not a 41 fan, but the "package" is pretty neat. I do have a hard time seeing anything RH-based as little though. Luck ! Used to have RH 44mag with a longer barrel. Do now wish I'd of kept it and had a shorter barrel put on , as the bigger yet SRH's just aren't talkig to me. OK, so the Alaskan in 480 has been whispering to me a bit.

once you start carrying a large bore for any measure !! It is really hard to carry anything else without feeling like your a little under gunned ( Remember what Ruark said CARRY Enough Gun)....I carry a .380 or .32 s&W long with handloads at times ...But I am always feeling short.... I like a 500/Linebaugh with 525s in it fwiw

Funny you should say that... A few years ago I was thinking why am I carrying a gun in the woods... Usually it is the same reason I am carrying a gun in town, personal protection. I'm not hunting anything, not out plinking or target shooting, I'm out for a walk... So I'm carrying a .22 and thinking I'm really going to look stupid if I get attacked by a black bear, moose or rabid animal and don't have "enough gun" with a whole gun safe full of them sitting back at the house. So since then the minimum I carry is a 3" .357 Magnum and it is usually a Taurus Titanium Tracker in .41 Magnum...
