OK I was thinking/seeing 657 when I read that (no coffee yet)....my bad. I don't like either the S&W autos or the ruger autos....so I can't honestly make a suggestion for either. Poor Choices IMHO......just my opinion of course. I don't / won't own one. I think they are unreliable and the ergonomics for me are poor. Just a personal preference. If I was working in reverse I'd start with the 1911A1, SIG 220, Browning High Power, A S&W revolver, Glock, H&K, Walther, Kahr if I was buying today....
Hey, the .41 Mag is a "cult" thing, you learn the secret handshake and everything.
