If you find any Speer Lawman ammunition, be aware that the foam rubber separators will probably have deteriorated and you will need to clean the crud off of each and every round.
I recently bought my sixth Tanfoglio in .41 Action Express. (It's a sickness) I have kits for a 1911 and Browning Hi-Power, but the Argentine FM-90 Hi-Power clone shot so well as a 9mm that I left it alone.
It seems that those .41 AEs do shoot rather well, as mine shoot right alongside my .38 Super match guns by Witness. I can't say if it is the gun or the cartridge or both.
The best jacketed bullet I have found for this round is the 170 JHP grain Sierra Sportsmaster, but I haven't tried all those that may or may not work. Molds can be found for .41 AE loads in several different places.
The bad news is that with the current feeding frenzy for anything firearms related, I don't see any ammo makers taking on any new projects within the next few years. They can sell most anything they make now, so why spend money on a niche project?

Quit hogging them all! 
I occasionally get an itch to get a .41 AE, but I keep talking myself out of it. I'll want to hand-load for it, and I never see any dies out there. I could do a custom order from Lee, I suppose.
But, on the flip side, I'm trying to avoid getting into new "oddball" chamberings if I can't handload for them. I sold off my .32 NAA pistol because my handloading efforts were constantly failing, and I figure that Corbon will eventually stop making the ammunition for it.
In essence, I worry I'll end up with a gun that I can't feed.
