The uneeded .41 mag according to Petzel

I am still a .41 mag/special stupid.. but Why did the guys back in the 60's think we needed a new factory round?
As far as I am concerned the .41..429,430 factory rounds a 2 peas in a pod. You already had the .44 special which covered the perceived need for peace officers. ?
I was laid off and sold almost everything I owned gun wise, but because the Blackhawk was smaller framed and I had been given a really large amount of .41 brass, I just stayed with the .41. I have had a .45 Colt/.454, 38/357's but went back to the .41 mag. I have never had any trouble with powder, bullets primers or factory rounds. I have killed deer with a .41 with everything from 170 JHC to a 300 SSK. Then are the ground hogs and a lowly boar I shot with a .41 but none of them said to me "you should have used a .44." We have the round and one can find some virtues in it. Personally I am quite happy with my .41 GNR, ..41 GNR #2, and .410 GNR. and the old plain .41mag. If I want more, I will go big, like my son's .500GNR.
