Spectacular revolver! Thanks for the photographs. Being a long time aficionado of the .41 Magnum, but having no personal experience with the 414 Supermag, I will anxiously await your range results. Congratulations!

Awesome looking gun there Robb. Harton did an awesome job on it. Looking forward to range/field reports.

Talk about one-of-a-kind. Nicely done and the FA sight looks perfect. Blends right in with no hint of it being an add-on. Definitely let us know how it shoots. -Lee www.singleactions.com |

Is it just the picture or did he also straighten and lengthen the trigger just a smidge? Regardless that is one fantastic looking sixgun. I know you can hardly wait to get your mitts on that one. Thanks for sharing!

Alan usually does work on the trigger shape while he's at it. I think that fella can build just about anything with a welder and milling machine  Beautiful gun and I bet it will be a tackdriver! I've still got some boxes of 265 WFNGC bullets for that gun if you want me to look for them, I bet they would be just about perfect for that gun |

I'm new to this site but all I can say to that is WOW! That sixgun makes some big-name efforts look ordinary.

Heavy C, the 414 Supermag was a Dan Wesson offering but they only made very few. It is the same relationship to a 41 Mag that the 357 Supermag, aka 357 Maximum, is to the 357 Mag and the 445 Supermag is to the 44 Mag. It uses a 1.6" long case versus the 1.30" normal mag case. If I'm not mistaken, the original goal was allow the use of heavier bullets with a flatter trajectory for the metallic silloutte game. Alan said this gun likes 25 grains of H110 under a 265 gn gas check cast bullet.
John Taffin has written about being involved in the early stages of develpment of the Supermag cartridges. He might even own one of the few 414's the DW factory ever made.

Okay Kings6, there is your cue..... Explain the 1.6 inch 41 mag case and the IHMSA/Elgin Gates/Starline connection..... |

I thought I kind of did except for the fact that Elgin Gates arranged for a large single run of 414 Supermag brass to be made by Starline. Of which, 500 pieces live upstairs here in Oregon ;D

Thanks for schooling me on that. I bet it will be a lot of fun to shoot. Are you planning to hunt with it or take on some silhouette shooting?
