O.K. People, I am going to lock the thread so we can move the forum faster than a .41 rimfire, which I have fired. Anecdotally, the firearm is now highly collectable and a goodly percentage have broken latches anyway. Fiocchi produces the cartridge and you could hand your potential assailant a $20 bill instead and come out $40 ahead. It was a very popular hideout piece with peace officers well into the 1950s. Once again, firearms are a valid part of survival discussion. But they are a small part, emotionally and politically charged with as many opinions, anecdotes and views as cailbers.
