Smith and Wesson model 41

Postby Calfed » Sat Aug 04, 2018 1:45 am

I've been looking for a nice small bore target pistol to compete with my wife's High Standard Victor. One model of particular interest has been the S&W model 41 and I finally found one for a decent price.

It arrived at my FFL's today and I grabbed a few pictures before it went into the safe for the obligatory 10 "cooling-off" period.

Nice find. I opted for the High Standard Victor years ago. I thought about getting the Model 41. I did buy the carbon dioxide cylinder BB gun version of the Model 41. I liked them both but I got a better deal on a used Victor. Your 41 looks very clean. Somebody took care of it. Nice!!!! :thup: :thup: :thup:

From the pics it looks like a fairly slim trigger for a target pistol, that is to say at least compared to the target trigger on S&W revolvers.

Not sure about the trigger width, Cf. I handled it before it went in for the "cooling off" period, but didn't examine the trigger closely.

I have the 5.5” heavy barrel Model 41 down here in Texas. Great shooter for 900 and 2700 matches, but that Hi Standard Victor was one of my unattainable guns. Kids in parochial school, mortgage,etc. I do get the pleasure of shooting an acquaintances Victor 10X.
