I have a 41 that was made in 1960. I bought it new in the box a few years ago. The fit and finnish on the gun is much better than the new ones.

I prefer the old frames with newer drill and tapped barrels. Be warned though you can really tell the difference when you see how cheap the blue looks on the newer barrels when mounted with a older frame.

It would take a lot better pistol shot than I am to tell if there is any accuracy difference between the new ones and the old ones.
