S&W model 41

Six month ago I bought a nice modern (97?) and cheap model 41.

Very nice gun, super accurate, super reliable, a joy to shoot.

However a friend really wanted it, and the LGS who sold it to me had another, older one. So out with the newish and in with the old.

I believe it might be from 1962, 7” 3/8 barrel with muzzle brake and 5” barrel, loaded chamber indicator, 2 mags, Nill grips and original grips, no box, $ 925.-

Now waiting for the permit, can’t wait to shoot it.

Very Very nice!!!! Mine is SN 207XX and I have been told its an early 1959 model. Mine is identical to yours other than the grips. It is a simply excellent target pistol!

The 5 inch "Sport" barrel is quite uncommon, good catch.

Mine came with one that has no front or rear sight, only tapped holes to accept a base. ....

There isn't much you can say about the 41 except that it is in a class of it's own and will spoil yo in trying to find better. If some of you folks have never shot one, your are in for a treat .....

Be Safe !!!

You got one heck of a deal. I would have jumped on that in a heartbeat, and I already have a nice 1968 41.
