Third time I have spent money on this gun. Round 1:Bought a 357 anny flattop Super Hammer & no cheese graters happened as soon as it got home:  Round 2: Jack Huntington converted my 357 anny flattop to .41: I orginally wanted a companion to my lipsey's 44 spl. Jack delivered exactly what I asked for and very reasonably in terms of time & money. C Shultz did the holly grips. Dual cylinder 41 mag/spl w screw on Stroh front:  I decided that I wanted to chop the barrel a bit and swap the stroh front for a Bowen front. Alan Harton did the work this time: (forgive the pic, will try to get better)  |

So 5.5 has now been replaced by 4ish inch barrels as a new favorite? PS you need to grab that 410 from 2dogs and remove the temptation... to add to the 41 set  |

Oh, the 5.5 is still my go to.
My player to be named later is a 5.5" OM 41 flattop #5.
I have however, found myself pleasantly surprised at easily a 4&5/8" carries. Rob L made a holster for me that lets me carry a 4&5/8" SA on the belt that rides high enough to be completely covered by a short jacket or overshirt.
I have done so much paring to my "set" that I can't go after bottleneck revolver cartidges until I get back to where I want to be with straight walls.
Give me a few years years before I start wildcatting in revolvers.

Different steps to the same gun makes perfect sense to me. I have three quest guns that are all getting makeovers as far as grip frames, grips etc. right now.

Groo here
I have 2 41 customs from Andy Horvath,, a 5 1/2 and a 3 3/4 inch.
The 5 in is easy to hit with but as an all around I find the 3 3/4 carries and shoots easier....

She's a beauty! I have a 3 screw 41 mag that been sitting in the safe . I ask on here every couple of months what would you do to customize it ;D. Lots of good suggestions ! I finally took a step by ordering one of Clements old model Bisley hammers. Then maybe a Reeder old model Bisley grip frame well see......
