S&w 41

[RevolverRodger]

I'm looking for a Smith and Wesson model 41... What are your opinions on this pistol ? Who has them in stock ?
Thanks

Do they still make them? Good semi auto, that's for sure.

good accurate pistol however i have found them to be ammo sensitive

Excellent rim fire pistol. Long out of of production if I'm not mistaken. Mine is a 5-1/2 barrel and it is finicky about what I feed it. It takes Remington standard velocity target ammo really well so I bought 10 bricks or so years back. I'll probably pass it on, along with some remaining ammo, to my grandkids, laws willing.

You are mistaken, I just purchased a brand new one last spring, and they are still being produced.Wild West in Edmonton still has one listed as being in stock.

There's a model 46, similar firearm, that's no longer in production. But yup, can still buy the 41.

Dante sports in Mtl has a used one for about 999. Think you can see them used for 7-900, depending on age and condition.

New? probably $1000-1200 if you shop around. Don't have any current specific leads but maybe try some of the SW dealers- they could likely get you one in.

My bad. Glad to see they are still available new.

In the early 80's I purchased a M41, 5-1/2" heavy barrel. It is a beautiful gun, very accurate, but a lemon as far as functioning goes. I have tried most brands of ammunition but I get at least 2-3 malfunctions per box of 50 (sometimes more depending on ammunition). It's a rare day when I can fire a box of 50 without some sore of malfunction. Sometimes it fails to feed, fails to extract or fails to eject. I should have immediately returned it for replacement or warranty repair, but . . .

Doesn't SW have a lifetime warranty for the original owner?

It's on their website but they don't have one in stock. They sold the one on their website quite awile ago.

Makes more sense to buy a used 70-80's Walther GSP, if you are willing to spend around $1000.00.

Delselins is now listing a Model 41 in stock.

got mine in 68 worked great, out shot [or at least as good as] the rest, sent back to smith in 04, for a tune up[158.00] . still working fine & as good as my GSP expert, no fussier on ammo than any fine target pistol.
