The .41 Action Express was designed by Evan Whildin, vice president of Action Arms, in 1986. [citation needed] It was based on the .41 Magnum case, cut down to fit in a 9×19mm Parabellum frame, and using a rebated rim. Performance was compared to the ballistics of the 41 Magnum police load. [2]

The A-Square rifles are based on the P-14 Enfield design. Apart from these manufacturers several custom gunsmiths offer rifles chambered for this cartridge. The Blaser R8 is also chambered in .416 Remington. Building custom rifles or having a rifle re-chambered for the .416 Remington Magnum is a fairly straightforward and easy option.
The Germans sought to develop a select-fire intermediate powered rifle combining the firepower of a submachine gun with the accuracy and range of a rifle.
