I can only give anecdotal comments based on my experience shooting 41's. I just like them! I can shoot them better than a 44 mag in the same revolver model (S&W M57 vs M29). The recoil is a bit less than your average factory loaded 44 mag and it pretty much has the same effect. The only thing you really gain as far as I'm concerned with a 44 is a broader bullet selection and heavier bullets for hunting. But 250 gr 41 mags are nothing to sneeze at. It is plenty for my whitetail hunting with iron sights. Have a scoped 480 Ruger that I use also and it tends to be my deer hunting revolver now.
Until the time I got my first 41 mag, my Colt Python was my largest handgun caliber and I couldn't shoot that damn thing very well. So I was skeptical that I could shoot my M57 well. I was dead set on learning to shoot it well and I did. I actually shoot it better than most 357's and it is my go to big bore.
Last I checked, I have four 41 mags (three M57's and a Blackhawk).
I tried 44's and sold them as I just shot the 41 mag better. Give one a try, you may find that you really like them.
