The First S&W Model 41

[powderbrake]

I was looking through some old pictures and I ran across these which I took at the S&W Collector's Meeting in 1995 in Springfield, MA.

Another member had the first Model 41 made. It was a pre production tool room prototype, made as a gift to John T Amber, editor of Gun Digest and was fully engraved and gold filled. The box was commissioned for the gun by the member.

I know this is primarily a rifle forum, but this is an accurate firearm. Besides, I just like Model 41's.

Yeah, found that out on my High Standard Citations also. Took em off.

Realized that I didn't really require the recoil absorption on the 22, even in rapid fire. If I had been shooting International rapid fire, it may have made a difference for some. But, not in my hand for Bullseye.

Always wanted a 41

I started w a Supermatic Military Trophy Citation but even though off a couple of degrees from a 1911, the width, thickness, of the 41 grip was perfect for me - flat and wide. Oh Yeah

I really prefer the 7" for Steel Challenge over the 5.5.
5.5 w an Ultra Dot for BE.

I agree, replace the brake with a muzzle protector, which has a screw that is threaded into the weight inside the barrel.

Nice......I bet that is worth a big pile of cash.
