on the .41 Long Colt, really nice. He knew more about the .41 LC than anyone I ever ran into. He helped me with several tips. Has a good article or two out there if you can find it on the net.

I did about as good using very soft undersize hollow base lead bullets (I bought them, looked swaged) as I did playing with heeled style of .401-.403". The "heeled" bulleted cases are shorter you know! I don't think it would ever be a tack driver but like Elmer Keith penned in the 1950's, it beats a .38 Special pretty good. Has some notable whollop with the 200 gr. around 900 fps. Right up there with the modern .40 S&W, everything is new you know.

made in 3 calibers ... early in production a .32 called The Rainmaker .. in .38 called The Lightning and in .41 called The Thunderer.

I played with one that Persinger in El Paso had restored .. neat gun. They were hard to keep running because of several internal parts that were very delicate. Persinger had worked on that his stood up pretty well.
