S&W Model 46

[stubblejumper]

I am looking for a Model 41,but the opportunity to purchase a Model 46 has arisen.I am of the understanding that the 46 is a plainer version of the 41 with plastic grips and a lower level of finish.Are any of you currently shooting a Model 46?Would obtaining replacement parts be a problem,or are the internals really the same as a Model 41?

Same gun, lower grade finish and less options (weights etc). A good pistol, and oddly enough, actually more rare then the 41, as they didn't make as many of them. - dan

Basically what applies to the 41 applies to the 46 - bbl weights, springs, etc. Slide and bbl basically not interchageable unless you swap bbl and slide together.
