I know that title got your attention!

First off, I don't own any .41 Magnum handguns. However, If Ruger would bring out the Flat Top in a 6 shot .41, I would immediately join the .41 Magnum Fan Club.

Is the small frame Flat Top still in production? I don't know but it is advertised in a different tuned version by Taylor's
http://www.taylorsfirearms.com/products/cfHandlebarDoc.tpl

I believe the smaller .41 vs .43 would add enough metal to make this a viable production item.

If you agree, I think a letter writing campaign to Ruger and the various gun rags would be in order.

Gentlemen: What do you think?

Ruger stopped making Flat Tops before the 41 mag was introduced.
I am not a Ruger historian but I do think that is correct.

I own a 3 screw 41 and it's one of my favorites for sure.

The 41 Ruger flat top started life as a 44 magnum - but I converted it over to 41 magnum with the addition of a new cylinder...

I do believe you are correct in your assumption....
