I've used HV 22 ammo in my model 41 for 15 years through my 5 inch field barrel without any noticeable sign of slide damage....changing out recoil springs and adding a buffer is about all I've done to it ! In my 5.5 heavy barrel I use Federal HV gold medal 719 ammo advertised at 1200 fps....I may tone it down to the standard velocity stuff though !
