Is that an encore with a 41 barrel?

I think this is one of the best looking DW's ever! As always Dean thanks for sharing your photos!
p.s. if this one ever needs a new home let me know.

That is an Encore with a .414 SuperMag barrel on it. Here is it's brother, also a .414 SuperMag.

Here's some others.
Some clown put that Millett sight on there. I have returned it to original.
I think that's all of them. I did sell a 10" Contender barrel in .41 Magnum.

IHMSA, is that one of the original run of Marlin 1894's? I see the straight-grip stock. I have a 1894FG that I swapped parts to make a straight-grip; I'm thinking of whacking the barrel to 16", too… I did install a Williams peep sight on it as well.
All those .41's and no Ruger Bisley? I can fix that…

Yes Charlie, that is one of the original ones. I just put the stock buckhorn sight and hooded front back on it.
Sorry, just not a big Bisley fan myself.

Another .41mag guy here. Bought my first, a Ruger Blackhawk in 1982. I also have a Redhawk, a Marlin 1894 from their more recent run, a S&W 8 3/8" stainless, two 8" DW blued, and will be making (as Mike did) a 414 switch barrel SM.
The barrel blank I bought for this project is long enough to make a 15". I haven't figured out a practical way to make a shroud for it though. I have no special setup for deep hole drilling. If I could find a couple of SM shrouds that needed finishing work (and wouldn't cost too much) I'd consider tig welding them together. Maybe 12" would be plenty long…..I just thought it'd be fun to have something different. Initially, that was the appeal of the .41mag for me…….it was different!

Nice pics! Glad to see some 41's on here also. I have a few S&W's and the new to me DW Model 41. When hunting season is over and the weather clears I can't wait to shoot it.
S&W's:
6" Model 57 - 1979, 4" Model 57 - 1980, 4" Model 657-4 Mtn Gun - 1998, 6" Model 58 - 2010
DW: Model 41 Ser # C0016xx - Vintage (I'd like to know)

And I will pop in here as another .41 fan, I have hunted for a DW in .41 or .414 for a long time and never found one. Right now I have a 657, a Blackhawk, a Super 14 Contender and a Taurus in .41, matter of fact the 2" 5 shot Taurus is my everyday carry gun. I did have a Marlin in .41, but sold it to a friend that really wanted it. I had a Bisley years ago when I was still shooting IHMSA regularly, but it was not that accurate so I sold it.
