Are these strong enough to handle 41 mag loads?

    They only come in 45LC and 357 magnum unless there has been a new product announcement I missed.

    It is probably possible to convert a 45LC and the additional metal due to the smaller size may make it possbile.

    That's true. You would need to get the New Model Blackhawk if you want a .41 magnum.

    If you want a Vaquero in .41 Mag you would have to find an Old Model Vaquero and have it rechambered to .41 if it were in .357 and change the barrel. You would have the easiest time if you had a barrel & cylinder from a blackhawk in .41 mag and then have the front sight changed. Seems like it would a really $$$$ deal to do--would be probably better to just get a .44 mag old model vaquero.

    Hamilton Bowen will convert a New Vaquero or New Model Flattop to .41 Magnum. $595 plus other work needed, like a new front sight to get a zero.
