I just cleaned my S&W Model 58 & my Ruger NM Blackhawk 41 mag.

I went back and forth for months about getting a S&W Model 57 (.41Mag), but in the end settled with keeping both my .357 and .44 firearms. The .41 is harder ammo to find and pricey, which would force me to set-up a. .41 reloading station which I'd rather not do anymore.

I just wish they would do a run of Blackhawk 41 mags with 6 1/2" barrel. In a perfect world they'd be stainless, but I'd live with blue if that's all I could get.

I'd like to see a dual cylinder with one in 41ae.

You could wait years for a production run. Life's too short. There were thousands made in the old model, tens of thousands made in blue in the New model, and about 6000 were made on the new model flat top large frame in blue. CORRECTION; ONLY 1400 WERE MADE, NOT 6000.
Shouldn't be that hard to find one. And even one in like new condition.

I believe there was a short run of stainless .41 Blackhawks a couple years ago. Both barrel lengths. Perhaps someone more knowledgable will correct me or comment further.

Personally, I don't see a reason for one. I have/had several 41 Blackhawks. Carried one (4.5" OM) while I guided on hogs during grad school. Wife has a 6.5" OM Blackhawk for woods walking here in bear country.
I have both lengths. Also a stainless with bisley grip.

You can give Talo and Lipsey's a call to see if they have anything in the works.

I think Jason at Lipsey's has a headache from me and others harassing him, and hitmann and needsmostuff are tired of this too! LOL!!!

I'm gonna hope for World Peace and Kumbaya instead .
Cuz that unlikely impossibility is gonna happen BEFORE Ruger makes a 41 Vaquero.
Happy New Year.

...don't know where you got your Flat Top numbers but when I called William's Distributing was told there were only 119 of the 4 5/8" and 181 of the 6.5" guns made for them. If there were 6k made there would be lots of them floating around for sale on the auction sites...

Sorry Bob, I didn't realize the flattop frame was a must have feature. But you could do what I've done, remove the buttress on either side of the rear sight.
Or was it the chamber alignment feature of the new model flattop that was wanted? That's also a piece of cake to add to any new model. The few little parts are even free from Ruger. If interested just ask and I'll send part numbers and installation steps.

Oh and the 6000 came from Chet's RENE book. I believe Ruger made a regular production run after the Williams run. I'll double check tomorrow.
