Kind of like buying to Malibu instead of one Corvette... ;)

In Canada, the 5.5" barrel is more popular with serious shooters, as it's legal for ISSF match. (the longer barrel is legal for NRA match in the US)

Not sure what a 'new' one goes for, but I've seen a number of 'nice' used one sell for $700-$800

This one should fetch a little more since it's got the box (matching I assume) and tool/instruction. Just like the muzzle break, they would probably fetch more $$ if sold separately on fleebay.

Does it have a 'cocked' indicator?

Not trying to hijack the thread, but I had a "negligent discharge" from my 41 when I first used it, because I accidentally "Hit" or pushed on the cocked indicator, and the firing pin let go and shot off a round.
Of course the gun was pointed in a safe direction, and nobody was around because I shoot alone 99% of the time (if possible)
Is this an easy/common thing? seems a little unsafe for a gun to be able to do that. Has anyone had that happen?? I hadn't cleaned before it happened, as I had just gotten it and HAD to go try it. It's clean now!!!, but I haven't tried to "recreate" the situation.
 
That would be a $850.00 gun you have there even nicer with the original box and accessories.

Just go find yourself some extra barrels.

Have the Ruger MK11's as well but the Model 41 is special.

I shot a friends's 41 and it was fantastic.

I bought a High Standard Supermatic Trophy as one was available from another friend.

I think these older .22s are nicer than the newer stuff - to me anyway.

It shouldn't have fired... My guess is the previous owner had tried to 'improve' the trigger and had tinkered with the sear engagement... reducing it to a 'unsafe' level.

should I be worried? probably huh. Any ideas how I can remedy this so I "dont shoot my eye out"? Are there trigger assemblies that can be bought? Do I have to ship it to a smith? I'm in the NWT so everything is a hassle up here.

Tell me what EFS is and I'll let you know.

Extended front sight. Extremely rare (i had one and sold it)
Basically a 5.5 barrel that was 3/4 profiled and the front sight was located by a reverse dovetail ans a small screw.

The EFS was a piece of metal with another front sight soldered to it.

You removed the stock front sight and then slid the metal tang with soldered front sight in place.

It gave you the extended radius of the 7" gun, but without the forward weight penalty.

Still legal to use in ISSF bullseye too if I recall.

Very hard (almost as rare as unicorn tears) to find.

If I remember my conversation with Roy Jinks correctly, S&W made 250 examples.

I had the same, and sold it to a guy in the Naniamo club when I decided my life wouldn't be complete until I had a Walther GSP 22/32:rolleyes:. That was back when I was hot & heavy into bullseye shooting, now I have neither.

We probably both owned the same fuxing gun!!!
And If I recall, the one I HAD sold had the extended trigger gaurd on it as well (another stupid rare option) and now this whole thread has me feeling a little upset that I sold it. Grrrrrr

You & me both :mad:. In all likelihood I will get another 5 1/2" model 41 but it'll quite probably be a regular run of the mill production model. In the meantime, I've recently picked up a couple of 'other goodies' to:p ease the pain. 1st I picked up an old Belgium Browning Medalist.

2nd, a 4 1/2" Colt 3rd Series Match Target:).

Both in excellant shape however the forend of the Medalist has been 'modified' by the previous owner:rolleyes:. Done, I imagine, to allow the the weights to be attached without having to remove the forend. I'll live with it, until I can locate a replacement forend.
