[QUOTE="gerhard1, post: 3554856, member: 5391"] There are (or were) two commercial loadings for the 41: one was the magnum hunting 'gorilla killla' as one poster on the old Kansas forum put it. and the milder 'police load'. I have some 900 of the police load and that is what I'll test the 58 with when I get it. I thought I had some of the Winchester Silvertips but right now, I can't find them. The brass for the two loads was the same, and the difference was that the hotter load had a 210-215 grain bullet at about 1300 fps, and the police load had a LSWC at around 900 fps or so. The 41 was originally designed and intended for the police, being thought of as a compromise between the 357 and the 44. S&W tried to sell the 57 to police agencies, but due to size and the recoil, it didn't catch on. So the 58 was conceived in addition to the police load mentioned earlier. In fact, the name of the 58 was the 41 Magnum Military and Police and even though a few departments did issue it, it still didn't really take. Hope this answers the questions. [/QUOTE]
