youngoutdoorsContender 41 barrel
I am thinking about getting a 41 barrel for my Contender and wondered if you guys had any "extra barrels" laying around.
Thanks and God Bless, Louis

MS HitmanLouis,
I haven't seen a Contender barrel chambered in .41 Mag in over a decade. Try Ed's Contenders and see if he might have one.
At one time, guys were having JD Jones ream out their 41 Mag barrels to make a .411 JDJ.
Good luck with finding one.

youngoutdoorsThanks Hitman, I would really like a JDJ but only straight wall cartridges are legal in Iowa. I have a Smith .41 and will carry it if I don't run across a Contender barrel. I'll check out Ed's.
God Bless, Louis

DoublessYoungoutdoors, there is (or was) a pair of 411 JDJ barrels listed in the classifieds. Don't know if they are still there, but they were...
Too bad...just read this...there was a mint .41 10" on GunBroker...sold yesterday I think for $185.00.
Watch GunBroker...there have been several 10 and 14" ones on there over the last few weeks and none went for over $200.00. Two years ago they were brining $225+.

JOE MACKIf you want a little more horsepower in the straight-walled case, have someone ream the chamber to .414 SuperMag. The longer brass is available and will give you a little more powder capacity and velocity.
