abs Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Help! Does anyone know where I can buy factory ammo? Can't seem to locate any. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I don't think anybody's making it anymore. At least not in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRe Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I used to have a .41AE barrel for my 9mm Witness. Neat caliber Samson used to make the only factory ammo - as shred says, its probably hard to come by here in the States, anyhow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianH Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Last I saw a couple years ago Starline still made brass. Might call them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Knight Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Reloading is about all you can do with that anymore. Anyone know how he can make brass? If that is even possible. I know most manuals still have 41AE listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRe Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Its not fire formed or anything. In effect, it's a .40 w/ a 9mm case head (its rebated rim). You have to have specific brass for it... Kind of a .357 Sig opposite.... Finding bullets was always the PITA - .410 caliber bullets in an auto-friendly format and size just isn't easy...

Shawn Knight Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 (edited) I figured it was something he could cut down. I guess that is why no one shoots it anymore. Stupid rebated rims they get you every time! Edited July 27, 2006 by theknightoflight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRe Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 It won't work in a casefeeder, either, so.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry White Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Some one gave me some once fired 40 brass once that had some 41 AE brass mixed in. I promise you it wont work in a case feeder. PITA.------Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtypool40 Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 jeez six unique replies, that's more people than actually own a .41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Knight Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 (edited) Now thats funny right there. Hey sell that barrel on some gun-bay auction somewhere and buy more 9mm. Edited July 27, 2006 by theknightoflight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Yeah, the 'cool' thing about the .41 AE is how easily you can turn it back into a 9.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyin40 Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 If its a Desert Eagle your shooting it out of your better off buying a new barrel for it in .357 or 44. IF its not a DE then good luck. I still have a box of .50 Action Express that I never used sitting around. Expensive to shoot. Flyin40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRe Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Its most likely a Tangfoglio or other CZ variant.... .41AE is a lot smaller than .50AE... Its basically a .40.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameron Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 WOW. At 2.75 per round, I have some big money sitting at home with my Samson .41AE stash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intel6 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 jeez six unique replies, that's more people than actually own a .41 Well I am late on the thread but I have two guns that I can convert to .41 AE. I was stationed in Germany in the 90's and brought back a Tanfoglio "IPSC Ultra" special edition of a Tangfoglio in .41 AE. I fitted a Briley 9mm barrel to it and mostly shoot it in 9mm. I also have an IMI conversion kit to change my Hi-Power to .41 AE. I reload it on my 550 but don't shoot it much. I also have 500 or so rounds of factory ammo somewhere in my stuff. It is actually a great round. Most consider it the same as a .40 S&W but you can actully push it closer to a 10mm than the .40. By the way the original .41 AE brass was made out of .41 Magnum cases Neal in AZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterdaws Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 When the .41 Came out, Tanfoglio were going to do a series of IPSC commemorative pistols in .41. Tanfoglio offered IPSC Regional Directors a pre production sample. I was RD for Hong Kong at the time and ordered one with a 9mm barrel as well as getting .41 ammo into Hong Kong would prove difficult. When the gun arrived, Serial number DVC0018 it had the .41 barrel in so I immediatly swapped it for the other barrel and loaded a magazine with 9mm. Went onto the range and chambered the round. The whole round went straight down the barrel and fell on the ground. It turned out that due to the Italian paranoia over military calibres, they couldn't send me a 9mm barrel so had thoughtfully provided me with two .41 barrels. Later we bought some of the production commemoratives. By then .40 had come out so we bought the guns to shoot 9mm, .41 and .40. (Two slides and three barrels). Used it for many years as a .40 cal gun and still have both guns but have never fired a round of .41 out of either. Peter Dawson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intel6 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 (edited) That is the one I got. Two tone with a DVC shield on the hardchrome frame and DVC Serial number on slide and frame. I had a Wichita adjustable sunk in the rear and a new front blade that was dovetailed in from the front because of the holes in the slide.
