Notes
The .41 Remington Magnum was originally developed in 1964 as an ideal law enforcement cartridge, offering more power than .357 Magnum but less recoil than .44 Magnum. The ported barrel helps manage recoil from this powerful cartridge.
Background
Taurus's revolver manufacturing expertise traces back to their acquisition of the Smith & Wesson factory in Brazil, giving them access to decades of refined revolver-building knowledge that continues to influence their designs today.
