I carried a S&W model 57 .41 Magnum, 4 inch for the first twelve years of a thirty-four year law enforcement career, before a required transition to a semi-auto sidearm. I tried a .44 Magnum for a short time but felt the recoil of a 4 inch gun made recovery of the sight picture too slow. I was always satisfied with the results of the .41.

I too carried a 41 mag in my holster for a number of years during my Game Warden career. If you can get by the weight it’s a great caliber. The mandatory switch to Sig 220s in 45 acp brought on its retirement.
Owning both a Smith and Wesson 57 and 29 in 4 inch for 45+ years and shooting both a lot my take is... With the same weight bullet, the performance is the same. The .19 diameter increase is not enough to make an observable difference under field conditions. Platforms are the same, no difference here either. There are more factory options in ammo for 44 magnum, but I reload so no difference here for me. Pick your favorite and be happy. As far as a 10mm, don't own one, never shot one and no interest here. I like revolvers

Welcome to the world of content creators, Roy 😉 Mistakes happen, dont worry about it. unfortunately you see now the negative side where people think they can jump on you like a funnel web spider for getting the 10mm kinetic energy wrong. Most of those commentors never created a presentation themselves. They have no idea how much work goes into a 20 minute clip. I think, besides that little lapsus, you did a great job fascilitating the content. Bringing the 10mm into the picture was spot on. Keep on trucking and thanks for the great content🙏👍💯
I'm happy you said something. It very hard to do videos...Don't think so? Remember back to when you had to stand in front of the class and do an oral book report, then multiply that by millions of viewers. I have nothing but the utmost respect for Roy and crew.
Agreed. I remember my first speech in 9th grade. We got graded on our content and presentation. I was a nervous wreck. Paul has done this for a long time and is pretty polished. I have no doubt Roy will come to his own and get used to it. I'm just glad he is filling the gap, as this channel is the best. Let some troll try and fill Roy's shoes for once, and get heckled the same way they are doing.
I had to conduct a BIG meeting at the hospital earlier this week....yep you guessed it, there was an error crunching the numbers. Nobody caught it but me (thank goodness) but I'd been working on it for a month! It can definitely happen to anyone, especially when the turnaround time is short like you would have creating videos for the channel. GREAT JOB on a really pertinent video.
Roy, good information. I carried both the 41 magnum and the 10mm when I was working the street. I had the utmost confidence in both of them. I have owned several 44 magnums , too much recoil for duty use. With your first revolver shots on this video your finger stays inside the trigger guard. As soon as you come off target, finger should immediately go to high register. Also best results with a revolver are obtained when the trigger is pulled through smoothly without staging. You’re improving with every new video. Best of luck. Regards and respect to Paul
.41 magnum is my favorite caliber. Most complain that it’s “not readily available on store shelves” but most stores charge out the ass for ammo anyways. I always order mine in bulk online (google and AmmoSeek are your friends folks) and you can also reload your ammo (preferred as you can play around with hot/soft loads). The .41 mag is a fantastic round, but most people like the .44 because their daddy watched Dirty Harry (which a .41 S&W Model 57 was used in the movie but whatever) and told them that it was better. Do your research folks, and if you own a .41 mag revolver, think about pairing it with a good old Lever Gun chambered in the same caliber. I promise you’ll love it.
100% just posted above... i trust my life to a 41 in bear country... the ballistics we get from off the shelf crud and what we can roll on our own are hugely different... while still well within modern pressure tolerances and recoil noticeably less than the 43 (44mag) this cartridge screams out for recognition...
I love my 41 magnum. It was gifted to me by my Dad. It was his service revolver when was at Dallas police dept. in the 70’s. Model 57. I let a gunsmith ( family member) put a hogue rosewood grip on it and cerykote it. ( natural blue color). As well as a nice trigger job on the DA. It’s fast and fun. It’s my out west fly fishing gun.
Comparing him to Paul is unfair to him, given Paul's had years of experience and Roy's fresh. He's obviously getting more comfortable on camera, and is definitely getting better every video. It really feels like the old Paul videos, when he was not very elegant or smooth in his delivery

In the 1980s, my younger brother was an apprentice for John Applegate, who was one of the last true bulletsmiths, and during that time you could call companies like Sierra, Speer and Nosler to to talk with bullet technicians. If you needed a specific load for a certain cartridge or needed actual comparison of different cartridges these technicians would send computer printed information. My brother and I asked for detail information on .44mag vs .41mag. The .41mag outperforms the .44mag down range regardless of barrel length. The .41mag is the ideal big bore and my personal favorite.
Doug, ya, IF one can handle that God awful snap just like the 357 has. Love the 41 but the " Kaboom" of the 44 is so much nicer to the ears when you dont have time to put on your earmuffs.
You're ignoring projectile weight here. While some .41 Magnum loads can compare favorably to some .44 Magnum loads when speaking of 240gr projectiles and 6" barrels, the heaviest .410 projectiles I know of for .41 Magnum is 275gr, which you can't even get off the shelf, 265gr is the heaviest which Buffalo Bore themselves offer for the cartridge. Meanwhile, they also offer a load of .44 Magnum which puts out a whopping 340gr projectile at 1350fps from a 6" barrel, which .41 Magnum just cannot reach. That .019 difference sure seems to add up with case volume and projectile mass, more powder is more powder, and more mass is more mass.
@@0neDoomedSpaceMarine Lyman did make a cast for 300gr in the .41mag at one time. 210gr jhp and Keith style hard cast bullets in 235gr, 245gr are what works in my revolvers and levers.
My favorite caliber is the .41 you just have to reload your ammo. It’s to hard to find it on the shelf. Thanks for the video keep up the great work and time.
I bought S&W .41 over 30 11:53 years ago from a gunsmith friend that had smoothed out the trigger. When I went to buy some shells, $28 a box. I learned to reload ammo quickly. My load was supposed to be a 210gr hard-cast an about 1000fps was very pleasant and extremely accurate to shoot. A hot load will send a large flame down range.
I believe that it was developed around 1964. It never got much print in magazines compared to the .44 magnum, and it kicks more than the .357 (but not as much as the .44), so it had trouble selling very many guns.
Elmer Keith has many articles about the .41 magnum. Remington was supposed to have developed a .41 special before releasing the .41 magnum. And at the time, sales of the .44 magnum sales were down because people didn't like the recoil.
And then came Dirty Harry, and you couldn’t find a Model 29 in a gun shop for 10 years. Used model 29s sold for black market prices. Clint Eastwood was Smith & Wesson’s top salesman until Bill Clinton was elected.
@stephen-ng I'm good. I have a Ruger Blackhawk in .41 mag just like what's in this video. I don't have a want or need for anything bigger than that. The biggest downside to the .41 is that you are going to have to reload because the ammo is hard to find.
Good to see you Roy. Say hey to Paul for me Sir. And I don't listen too what someone else says about Paul till I hear from Roy. Great video Roy thank you for all your hard work and time Sir.
Thank you for this great work. A little hello from a small shooting club in the Somme, France, where we have been following this UA-cam channel for several years. Thank you for being here.
.41 magnum ammo, like 10mm, can be all over the place in terms of power. Some loads approach very closely to .44 magnum while others are closer to .357 magnum.
Ohhhhhhhh okay...I thought I was just way off when I saw that. All good, though. My major takeaway from this video is that I want that Fusion 10mm. lol
@@dkolb65i believe the tool they’re using now is actually not a chronograph (called that for convenience) but uses radar to track the bullet’s velocity, hopefully others can provide more information
@@youngbloodbear9662 You are correct in that it uses Doppler radar to track the speed, but it is still called a chronograph. That is the Garmin Xero C1, and it is probably the best chrono on the market right now. The most expensive too...
Your brother Paul did a comparison of Federal 10mm vs 40 S&W ammo and ballistics were virtually the same. So ammo companies are charging a premium for a 'magnum' cartridge when in fact their performance is almost the same as a non-magnum one. From what I've read, in order to get true magnum performance from a 10mm, loading your own cartridges is about the only way one can achieve it unless you go to someone like Buffalo Bore.
Great video! I think you did a good job considering you have big shoes to fill. I’ll definitely watch and give ya chance. Very interesting and great topic.
41 Magnum is much closer to 44 Magnum than either 10mm or 357 Magnum. 41 Magnum is much more powerful than 357 Mag or 10mm using comparable grain unless you use the really hot 357 from Buffalo Bore or Underwood.
Or the really hot 10mm from underwood or buffalo bore. As far as hotter loads go, 10mm and 357 run a very tight race. Most 10mm is loaded to fbi spec sadly
My grandfather gave me a S&W 657 41 Magnum years ago. It quickly became my favorite revolver caliber, it truly is a "goldilocks", not too big, not too small, just right. I got a deer with it a few years ago and was the experience of a lifetime. I'll definitely be keeping it forever
There was an old model 58 for sale at my local gun store and I came pretty close to buying it! I always liked the 41, and could really make use of it now that I handload my own rounds.
Thank you Roy for carrying on for Paul! I hope Paul is doing well today and just relax and have some fun with this Roy, Paul always did and It showed on camera.
That 10mm load was a little on the light side. The old standard was Winchester 175 grain Sthp at 1250 fps. 625 foor pounds of energy. Overall Roy, this is a really great video in The Harrell style were used to.
Decades back, I had an S&W M&P model, 4 inch barrel, in 41 mag. Comfortable recoil, bigger than a .357, easier to shoot than a 44 mag. It was sufficient for any use I wanted it to do. No complaints at all. Sorry I sold it. Because it was bought in the pre-reg days.
interesting, I myself am firmly in the 9mm is the best conceal carry cartridge, because of modern bullet design and ammo capacity. However I always like to see new takes and ideas, not looking to argue of course, just interested in why you chose these calibers to conceal carry, it's certainly unorthodox.
@@-Zevin- If you train, you have more leeway to make interesting but ignorant carry decisions. Been leaving my G19 with a TLR1 at home in favor of my five shot snubnosed .38 special lately. Poor choice for sure but .38 special is interesting. During the winter time I occasionally concealed carry my Redhawk in .45 Colt with 250gr hollow points at 1400fps. Just cause. That’s the real answer. People can justify unorthodox carry options but at the end of the day, 9mm is probably the best option for pretty much everyone that isn’t in bear country.
@@jdoerr779well .38 special is just fine so long as the largest dangerous animal you expect to encounter is a ravenous coyote or a very territorial pitbull that got loose.
@@N0sf3r4tuR1s3n Honestly 9mm is really ok for bear defense too, The Vortex podcast had a good episode on this, and so did Ron Spomer Outdoors, where he actually interviewed a Alaskan master hunting guide who killed a Grizzly with 9mm. Biggest factor is bullet choice, hard cast 9mm actually has exceptionally good penetration, but you would be in big trouble using defensive ammo or hollow points.
I've always been a fan of the .41 Magnum, just because it was different. One negative about the early Remington lead .41 Magnum round was Remington choosing a very soft lead bullet alloy that cause severe leading.
Thanks for the history on the .41 Magnum. Things like this really add to the channel. My dad had a S&W Model 57 .41 Magnum. I never shot it, and I'm not sure how much he did. When our opportunities to hunt began drying up in the '70s, he started going into collecting guns he liked. I think he got the .41 because it was a good deal and it looked so much like the Dirty Harry pistol, so anyone seeing it without really knowing guns assumed that was what it was.
Roy is getting more comfortable with video presentations and seems to be having fun with the meat target. He also handles recoil better than I do. Good video!
Great video. Thank you for the hard work put into this. I love the .44 magnum, with my Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan and hand loading I was able to work up a load that produces just over 1,000 ft lbs of energy.
Of course Speer Gold Dot 10mm is basically loaded to .40 S&W levels and is not the greatest example of the potential of the 10mm Auto. There are many 10mm Auto loads that leave the barrel at well over 1300 fps. That said, another great video, always a great watch!
527 fpe is well beyond what the .40 does in the GD load. Most of the really good majors' cartridges max out in the mid to high 400s fpe from .40. UW has some lighter rounds that will get low to mid 500s. The reality is that there are *not* that many rounds for 10mm which are loaded to true 10mm capability. They come basically only from 3 companies- UW, BB, and DT
We used to head out hunting hogs in Texas with our pistols. Everyone had a .44 mag except one guy. He had a .41 mag. The hogs never knew the difference. Never saw anyone hunt with a 10mm or any other caliber in our group.
great video. living in bear country I carry either a 6" 41 magnum or a 1911 FS 10mm when in the woods. I was a little surprised though I thought the 41 would compare a little better to the 44. thanks again for the caliber comparisons you are doing a great job and hope you keep doing it my best to Paul.
Paul had decades to do his thing. This guys new but im betting in no time he will be just as smooth. Newbies are always kinda stiff at first. We ALL are.
Guys Roy isn't Paul but Roy is who Paul asked to take over when his health made him unable to keep doing videos. Roy is doing just fine. He's definitely getting more comfortable doing the videos. ...and don't forget, Roy is learning how to do all of this while his brother is dealing with health.
Not to mention most of us carry something hotter than that. I like how Paul always tries to use the same brand for comparisons, but most 10mm fanatics carry hand loads or boutique loads that push over 1200 fps at higher grain counts
As a late comer to the Paul Harrell channel, I am heartened to see that the channel will continue with great, useful content. You are doing a great job!
Im glad to see the old 41mag brought out and the 44mag my 2 favorite rounds. I think San Antonio police dept issued a 41mag S&W model 58 and one or two other depts did. Once in a blue moon you can run across a SAPD marked model 58. Great review keep up the great work.
A good, hot, SAAMI spec load out of the 41 mag will get you about 1,000 ft lb at the muzzle, just under 800 from the 10mm. About 1,200 from the 44 mag.
Thank you, sir, for the great demonstration of these 3 handguns. Your video is very informative and you kept it interesting for such an information-packed video. Well done.
I think I would want to be careful with chamber pressures for newer ammo such as Buffalo Bore in older firearms. I know that it is not advised to use "hot loads" in my classic 30-30, where they are acceptable to use in the modern rifle.
Same said for all calibers. But ESPECIALLY for the 10mm. We all SHOULD KNOW its SEVERLY NEUTERED with most commercial loadings... 1200/200 is accepted as proper 10mm full house load.
Really enjoyed the presentation and learning more about the history of the .41 Magnum. It is a good cartridge, and I feel like at this point it would probably be possible to make a large frame .41 that held seven rounds instead of six, which would be a leg up on the competition in one respect. Thank you Roy and Crew!
The thing about the 41 mag is it is a handloaders dream. The extra “ meat” between the chambers in a 41 mag cylinder is an advantage over the . 44mag. It can be loaded to higher pressures before catastrophic failure. The . 357 case is small enough to squeeze a 7 th chamber in an N frame cylinder. The X frame may be large enough to get 7 41 mag chambers, but I doubt it would sell. Freedom Arms sold a . 41 mag as a 5 shooter. Now THAT baby has some serious steel separating the cylinders!! It can accept pressures that would disassemble other revolvers. I think we are stuck with six shooters, unless we talk PCCs. Henry makes a 41 I think. But that’s another story.
@@ricks4468 Good stuff. I thought a 7-round .41 would be feasible given that Smith and Wesson, Ruger and Taurus all currently offer 8-round .357's. But I'm just guessing.
Same as the .45's on the market. I've resigned myself to just buy Double Tap. Buffaloe Bore, Underwood, and hornady now. Yeah beats up my wallet a little, but, i want quality now, so, i pay more.
I have fired the 44 mag and the 41 mag side by side and I couldn't tell much difference as far as recoil and muzzle blast goes. Paper ballistics say the 41 kicks 10% less but I really can't feel the difference. I could get by very well with either one. Having said that, it's like the 44 mag is a computer with more games and soft-ware available for it than the 41mag has. Why handicap myself with a caliber that's hard to find ammo for?
That’s how I am. Whenever I look at a gun to buy I shop around to see ammo prices and availability before I purchase it. I’ve got a couple wall hangers from long ago purchases that are too hard to find ammo for anymore.
The largest benefit of 10mm is it's in an autoloading pistol. I know the math is off but thats about what a .40 can get 526/527ftlbs and a 10mm can usually shoot atound 300fps faster. The hard part with 10mm is finding properly loaded bullets that aren't just a 40 in a larger case!
Absolutely loving all the 10mil content! Speaking of which, I just popped a groundhog that was ripping up the underneath of my grams garage. A 150gr solid copper Extreme Hunter by Underwood cut the most perfect hole in the top of his head while also popping both eyes out! Still got a few more rootin' around under there, I think I might try a 100gr Extreme Defender next. Anyways, thanks for the upload Roy! Best wishes to you, Paul, and the awesome crew.
Paul I found your videos late been watching you for a couple years. Thank you for everything you have done. Love all your videos especially your Dutch oven cooking. When you cooked the duck with baken and cinnamon rolls upside down pineapple cake. Went out and done it with my boys. Thanks Brother for everything.
Hey everyone:
At 13:30 the chart shows that the 10MM had 217 energy foot pounds. That's a mathematical error. the real number should have been 526.
yeah thought as much
Yes, I noticed that error, as well.
Not to me tion that 10mm is 40 s&w carbine power level.
Many companies load the ammo to full potential.
A fair comparison would have had 10 with that ammo attaining a realistic 1200 fps.
Need a new Chrono bud.

Thanks for carrying on the channel Roy! You're doing great! The only correct choice between 44 Mag, 41 Mag and 10mm is to buy all 3!
Or a 400 corbon barrel for your 1911
Yes, we have all these "X vs. Y" comparisons in the gun world, but sometimes the correct answer is just YES. I'll take the Super Salad.😁

In the 1980s, my younger brother was an apprentice for John Applegate, who was one of the last true bulletsmiths, and during that time you could call companies like Sierra, Speer and Nosler to to talk with bullet technicians. If you needed a specific load for a certain cartridge or needed actual comparison of different cartridges these technicians would send computer printed information. My brother and I asked for detail information on .44mag vs .41mag. The .41mag outperforms the .44mag down range regardless of barrel length. The .41mag is the ideal big bore and my personal favorite.
Thank you for posting that. The .41 is my personal favorite as well and my everyday carry in an S&W model 58.
Using .41 specials ?
Doug, ya, IF one can handle that God awful snap just like the 357 has. Love the 41 but the " Kaboom" of the 44 is so much nicer to the ears when you dont have time to put on your earmuffs.
You're ignoring projectile weight here. While some .41 Magnum loads can compare favorably to some .44 Magnum loads when speaking of 240gr projectiles and 6" barrels, the heaviest .410 projectiles I know of for .41 Magnum is 275gr, which you can't even get off the shelf, 265gr is the heaviest which Buffalo Bore themselves offer for the cartridge.
Meanwhile, they also offer a load of .44 Magnum which puts out a whopping 340gr projectile at 1350fps from a 6" barrel, which .41 Magnum just cannot reach. That .019 difference sure seems to add up with case volume and projectile mass, more powder is more powder, and more mass is more mass.
@@0neDoomedSpaceMarine Lyman did make a cast for 300gr in the .41mag at one time. 210gr jhp and Keith style hard cast bullets in 235gr, 245gr are what works in my revolvers and levers.
My favorite caliber is the .41 you just have to reload your ammo. It’s to hard to find it on the shelf. Thanks for the video keep up the great work and time.
I bought S&W .41 over 30 11:53 years ago from a gunsmith friend that had smoothed out the trigger. When I went to buy some shells, $28 a box. I learned to reload ammo quickly. My load was supposed to be a 210gr hard-cast an about 1000fps was very pleasant and extremely accurate to shoot. A hot load will send a large flame down range.
Thanks for the enlightening video, Roy! God bless you and Paul.
Roy is definitely a great fit while Paul is out. Thank you for the video! I learned about a new caliber (didn’t know .41 Magnum existed).
Very " not new " ,over 50 years old
I believe that it was developed around 1964. It never got much print in magazines compared to the .44 magnum, and it kicks more than the .357 (but not as much as the .44), so it had trouble selling very many guns.
Elmer Keith has many articles about the .41 magnum. Remington was supposed to have developed a .41 special before releasing the .41 magnum. And at the time, sales of the .44 magnum sales were down because people didn't like the recoil.
And then came Dirty Harry, and you couldn’t find a Model 29 in a gun shop for 10 years. Used model 29s sold for black market prices. Clint Eastwood was Smith & Wesson’s top salesman until Bill Clinton was elected.
Try 500 S&W Magnum. You'll wind up like Martin Short in Three Amigos (when he duels the German pilot).
@stephen-ng I'm good. I have a Ruger Blackhawk in .41 mag just like what's in this video. I don't have a want or need for anything bigger than that. The biggest downside to the .41 is that you are going to have to reload because the ammo is hard to find.
Excellent work, sir. Thank you
Thanks for video. Praying for Paul. Keep doing what you do.
Thanks, Roy! Great information.
Good to see you Roy. Say hey to Paul for me Sir. And I don't listen too what someone else says about Paul till I hear from Roy. Great video Roy thank you for all your hard work and time Sir.
I listened to Honest Outlaw this morning, he gave props to Paul and I was really impressed.
Thank you for this great work. A little hello from a small shooting club in the Somme, France, where we have been following this UA-cam channel for several years. Thank you for being here.
That's awesome. What kind of firearms are you able to shoot over there? I'm from southern U.S.
.41 magnum ammo, like 10mm, can be all over the place in terms of power. Some loads approach very closely to .44 magnum while others are closer to .357 magnum.
Thank you!
The energy for the 10mm, 200 gr projectile @ 1089 fps, should be 527 ft-lbs.
I noticed that on the 10mm the muzzle was past the chronograph!!
Ohhhhhhhh okay...I thought I was just way off when I saw that. All good, though. My major takeaway from this video is that I want that Fusion 10mm. lol
@@dkolb65i believe the tool they’re using now is actually not a chronograph (called that for convenience) but uses radar to track the bullet’s velocity, hopefully others can provide more information
@@youngbloodbear9662 lol chronographs aren't one specific thing, a stopwatch is a chronograph. It's still a chronograph if it uses a doppler radar.
@@youngbloodbear9662 You are correct in that it uses Doppler radar to track the speed, but it is still called a chronograph. That is the Garmin Xero C1, and it is probably the best chrono on the market right now. The most expensive too...
I have a Ruger Redhawk 5" in .41 Magnum. Thank you for doing a video on this criminally underrated cartridge
Roy, Paul Thanks for the video
Looking forward to many more
Your brother Paul did a comparison of Federal 10mm vs 40 S&W ammo and ballistics were virtually the same. So ammo companies are charging a premium for a 'magnum' cartridge when in fact their performance is almost the same as a non-magnum one.
From what I've read, in order to get true magnum performance from a 10mm, loading your own cartridges is about the only way one can achieve it unless you go to someone like Buffalo Bore.
Double Tap also makes 10 mm rounds that are advertised to be about 900 ft/lbs.
Just wanted to say you’re really coming into your own as a presenter and I look forward to seeing more and more of your personality come out :)
The 41 mag is an excellent and vey capable hunting round. It's a shame it never took off, but reloaders have made it work well for many years.
Awesome video, very interesting and fun, thx for making it Roy.
Great video! I think you did a good job considering you have big shoes to fill. I’ll definitely watch and give ya chance. Very interesting and great topic.
41 Magnum is much closer to 44 Magnum than either 10mm or 357 Magnum. 41 Magnum is much more powerful than 357 Mag or 10mm using comparable grain unless you use the really hot 357 from Buffalo Bore or Underwood.
*Laughs in .454 Casull*
Yep
I think 460 rowlands vs 41 mag would be more fair in terms of average energy
Just as powerful eh...
😉
Or the really hot 10mm from underwood or buffalo bore. As far as hotter loads go, 10mm and 357 run a very tight race. Most 10mm is loaded to fbi spec sadly
Appreciate the content. I know it takes a lot of work.. I really enjoy it and learn. Thank you
My grandfather gave me a S&W 657 41 Magnum years ago. It quickly became my favorite revolver caliber, it truly is a "goldilocks", not too big, not too small, just right. I got a deer with it a few years ago and was the experience of a lifetime. I'll definitely be keeping it forever
There was an old model 58 for sale at my local gun store and I came pretty close to buying it! I always liked the 41, and could really make use of it now that I handload my own rounds.
Thank you Roy for carrying on for Paul! I hope Paul is doing well today and just relax and have some fun with this Roy, Paul always did and It showed on camera.
That 10mm load was a little on the light side. The old standard was Winchester 175 grain Sthp at 1250 fps. 625 foor pounds of energy.
Overall Roy, this is a really great video in The Harrell style were used to.
Decades back, I had an S&W M&P model, 4 inch barrel, in 41 mag.
Comfortable recoil, bigger than a .357, easier to shoot than a 44 mag.
It was sufficient for any use I wanted it to do.
No complaints at all.
Sorry I sold it.
Because it was bought in the pre-reg days.
Thanks for the videos Roy!
Thats a great angle at 9:00, definitely more of that
I sit down after work and see this video posted 26 seconds ago about the 3 different cartridges I conceal carry. Perfect way to start the weekend.
interesting, I myself am firmly in the 9mm is the best conceal carry cartridge, because of modern bullet design and ammo capacity. However I always like to see new takes and ideas, not looking to argue of course, just interested in why you chose these calibers to conceal carry, it's certainly unorthodox.
@@-Zevin- If you train, you have more leeway to make interesting but ignorant carry decisions. Been leaving my G19 with a TLR1 at home in favor of my five shot snubnosed .38 special lately. Poor choice for sure but .38 special is interesting. During the winter time I occasionally concealed carry my Redhawk in .45 Colt with 250gr hollow points at 1400fps. Just cause.
That’s the real answer. People can justify unorthodox carry options but at the end of the day, 9mm is probably the best option for pretty much everyone that isn’t in bear country.
@@jdoerr779well .38 special is just fine so long as the largest dangerous animal you expect to encounter is a ravenous coyote or a very territorial pitbull that got loose.
@@-Zevin-9mm should be fine for two legged aggressors and four legged ones up to a certain size- it all depends on where you live.
@@N0sf3r4tuR1s3n Honestly 9mm is really ok for bear defense too, The Vortex podcast had a good episode on this, and so did Ron Spomer Outdoors, where he actually interviewed a Alaskan master hunting guide who killed a Grizzly with 9mm. Biggest factor is bullet choice, hard cast 9mm actually has exceptionally good penetration, but you would be in big trouble using defensive ammo or hollow points.
I've always been a fan of the .41 Magnum, just because it was different. One negative about the early Remington lead .41 Magnum round was Remington choosing a very soft lead bullet alloy that cause severe leading.
Thanks for the history on the .41 Magnum. Things like this really add to the channel. My dad had a S&W Model 57 .41 Magnum. I never shot it, and I'm not sure how much he did. When our opportunities to hunt began drying up in the '70s, he started going into collecting guns he liked. I think he got the .41 because it was a good deal and it looked so much like the Dirty Harry pistol, so anyone seeing it without really knowing guns assumed that was what it was.
So glad you did the test.
Love that you stepped in to continue the mission to educate! Thank you so much!
Roy is getting more comfortable with video presentations and seems to be having fun with the meat target. He also handles recoil better than I do. Good video!
Great video. Thank you for the hard work put into this.
I love the .44 magnum, with my Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan and hand loading I was able to work up a load that produces just over 1,000 ft lbs of energy.
Of course Speer Gold Dot 10mm is basically loaded to .40 S&W levels and is not the greatest example of the potential of the 10mm Auto. There are many 10mm Auto loads that leave the barrel at well over 1300 fps. That said, another great video, always a great watch!
Underwood or Buffalo Bore would have been better 10mm choices. Same for the 41 and 44. SAAMI spec full-pressure loads or shoot a tamer caliber gun.
I'll take a 41 mag any day of the week and twice on Sunday! Amazing cartridge.
527 fpe is well beyond what the .40 does in the GD load. Most of the really good majors' cartridges max out in the mid to high 400s fpe from .40. UW has some lighter rounds that will get low to mid 500s. The reality is that there are *not* that many rounds for 10mm which are loaded to true 10mm capability. They come basically only from 3 companies- UW, BB, and DT
Love the caliber comparison videos. Please keep this tradition. Especially for obscure stuff.
We used to head out hunting hogs in Texas with our pistols. Everyone had a .44 mag except one guy. He had a .41 mag. The hogs never knew the difference. Never saw anyone hunt with a 10mm or any other caliber in our group.
great video. living in bear country I carry either a 6" 41 magnum or a 1911 FS 10mm when in the woods. I was a little surprised though I thought the 41 would compare a little better to the 44. thanks again for the caliber comparisons you are doing a great job and hope you keep doing it my best to Paul.
I get it. I have Grizz here in Idaho. I carry what's reliable for me. Its piece of mind so I can stay out longer in the back country.
Hard to fill Paul's shoes but his brother is really trying 👍🏼
Paul had decades to do his thing. This guys new but im betting in no time he will be just as smooth. Newbies are always kinda stiff at first. We ALL are.
@@tristantimothy1004 Well said. He will come into his own with presentation and style if he keeps up the hard work.
Yes they're big shoes to fill. I believe he'll do it. There's no Paul replicant but Roy will fill that niche in his own way.
I'm noticing he's starting to sound more like Paul in this video.
Give him time, he's new to this.
Guys Roy isn't Paul but Roy is who Paul asked to take over when his health made him unable to keep doing videos. Roy is doing just fine. He's definitely getting more comfortable doing the videos.
...and don't forget, Roy is learning how to do all of this while his brother is dealing with health.
Great stuff, Thanks as always. Prayers for your family.
Your 10mm energy was off the calculation I used gets 526 ftlb
69% the velocity, 48% the energy. Based on that 1095 figure, 527. Agreed.
Ft lbs energy calculation was off for 10mm.
200gr bullet at 1089ft/s is 526ftlbs
Not to mention most of us carry something hotter than that. I like how Paul always tries to use the same brand for comparisons, but most 10mm fanatics carry hand loads or boutique loads that push over 1200 fps at higher grain counts
@@smartfreak7105 10mm is a lot like my all time favorite cartridge, 45 Colt. If you do not handload, I do not recommend it.
Awesome job great video
As a late comer to the Paul Harrell channel, I am heartened to see that the channel will continue with great, useful content. You are doing a great job!
The 10mm FPE measurement should be 527
Im glad to see the old 41mag brought out and the 44mag my 2 favorite rounds. I think San Antonio police dept issued a 41mag S&W model 58 and one or two other depts did. Once in a blue moon you can run across a SAPD marked model 58. Great review keep up the great work.
25 seconds in and I just want to say thank you and bless the family Harrell
I learned something new, I´ve never heard about the .41 Magnum caliber. Job well done, team.
A good, hot, SAAMI spec load out of the 41 mag will get you about 1,000 ft lb at the muzzle, just under 800 from the 10mm. About 1,200 from the 44 mag.
Another great video. Thanks for keeping the ball rolling Roy.
Interesting Caliber selection👍🏻🇺🇲
Awesome production Roy!
Fuck Id never thought I say this about a UA-camr. I'm really sad about Paul's death. God bless you Paul R.I.P. to his love ones my condolences. 😢
Thank you, sir, for the great demonstration of these 3 handguns. Your video is very informative and you kept it interesting for such an information-packed video. Well done.
You can get over 1000lbs of energy out of the .41 magnum. Underwood and Buffalo Bore is the way to go.
I think I would want to be careful with chamber pressures for newer ammo such as Buffalo Bore in older firearms. I know that it is not advised to use "hot loads" in my classic 30-30, where they are acceptable to use in the modern rifle.
Same said for all calibers. But ESPECIALLY for the 10mm. We all SHOULD KNOW its SEVERLY NEUTERED with most commercial loadings...
1200/200 is accepted as proper 10mm full house load.
@@allens4974 .41 is not that old of a cartridge, 30-30 is around 130 years old, and back then they were still using iron in some firearms.
Absolutely! Buffalo Bore is no joke!
Thanks for filling in for Paul. I think you are doing a fantastic job. Keep up the great videos.
Oh thank God--you just saved me from another Jon Benet documentary
💯
The off switch can do that.
Did they ever find out who killed the little girl?
Sometimes the off switch, is just an off brand Nintendo handheld.
☕🐝🇺🇸
@@upnorthvlogs never did find out--never even bothered to run all the DNA they found
Really enjoyed the presentation and learning more about the history of the .41 Magnum. It is a good cartridge, and I feel like at this point it would probably be possible to make a large frame .41 that held seven rounds instead of six, which would be a leg up on the competition in one respect. Thank you Roy and Crew!
The thing about the 41 mag is it is a handloaders dream. The extra “ meat” between the chambers in a 41 mag cylinder is an advantage over the . 44mag. It can be loaded to higher pressures before catastrophic failure. The . 357 case is small enough to squeeze a 7 th chamber in an N frame cylinder. The X frame may be large enough to get 7 41 mag chambers, but I doubt it would sell.
Freedom Arms sold a . 41 mag as a 5 shooter. Now THAT baby has some serious steel separating the cylinders!! It can accept pressures that would disassemble other revolvers.
I think we are stuck with six shooters, unless we talk PCCs. Henry makes a 41 I think. But that’s another story.
@@ricks4468 Good stuff. I thought a 7-round .41 would be feasible given that Smith and Wesson, Ruger and Taurus all currently offer 8-round .357's. But I'm just guessing.
How is Paul? Thanks for the video! I have .44 and had a .401 Herter
You are doing great Roy! You and Paul are living together in you!! Please don't ever stop doing this.
The manufacturers are not loading the 10mm to its full capacity, they are loading it like it's a 40 SW +p. Great video thanks!
Exactly so why bother. I like 357 sig for auto and 44 mag for wheel guns
Well most aren't, but some do full power SAAMI spec.
Same as the .45's on the market. I've resigned myself to just buy Double Tap. Buffaloe Bore, Underwood, and hornady now. Yeah beats up my wallet a little, but, i want quality now, so, i pay more.
great job Roy, thank you!
Good job, Roy
Thank you for this video. Keep up the good work.
0:45 Still watching vid but Roy's example of good Range safety is something many UA-cam "gun" channels seem to ignore.
Safety is about being safe, not telling you it's safe.
Good job. Very informative and interesting. Well done.
Boring Saturday. no anymore you saved the day with a new video.. Thanks.
Thanks for the video! I've often wondered "why" when it came to the 41 magnum
I have fired the 44 mag and the 41 mag side by side and I couldn't tell much difference as far as recoil and muzzle blast goes. Paper ballistics say the 41 kicks 10% less but I really can't feel the difference.
I could get by very well with either one.
Having said that, it's like the 44 mag is a computer with more games and soft-ware available for it than the 41mag has.
Why handicap myself with a caliber that's hard to find ammo for?
That’s how I am. Whenever I look at a gun to buy I shop around to see ammo prices and availability before I purchase it. I’ve got a couple wall hangers from long ago purchases that are too hard to find ammo for anymore.
Good info in this video, glad to see that Roy is getting comfortable in front of the camera.
The largest benefit of 10mm is it's in an autoloading pistol. I know the math is off but thats about what a .40 can get 526/527ftlbs and a 10mm can usually shoot atound 300fps faster. The hard part with 10mm is finding properly loaded bullets that aren't just a 40 in a larger case!
Absolutely loving all the 10mil content! Speaking of which, I just popped a groundhog that was ripping up the underneath of my grams garage. A 150gr solid copper Extreme Hunter by Underwood cut the most perfect hole in the top of his head while also popping both eyes out! Still got a few more rootin' around under there, I think I might try a 100gr Extreme Defender next. Anyways, thanks for the upload Roy! Best wishes to you, Paul, and the awesome crew.
10mm and .41 magnum are my favorite handgun calibers.
Great video Roy. Typical Paul content but presented in your own style. Exactly what I love to see on here. Wishing you, Paul and your family well.
I love 10 mm
Yup. It a magnum power round with a nice flat trajectory that can still fit into a high capacity autoloader.
I’m partial to 1cm. Heck, .1dm is even better.
Paul I found your videos late been watching you for a couple years. Thank you for everything you have done. Love all your videos especially your Dutch oven cooking. When you cooked the duck with baken and cinnamon rolls upside down pineapple cake. Went out and done it with my boys. Thanks Brother for everything.
