Which and why? Could have brought home a near 100% 41 last weekend for $850. I've already got a Woodsman though. Should I have?

You need both. I am still looking for my Colt.
The Colt feels better in my hand, but the M-41 is theoretically more accurate because the sights don't move with the slide. See my first sentence!

Yep you need both. Never owned a Woodsman, but had a 5" 41 I foolishly sold.

Yep, the Campfire is a crappy place to find absolution for passing up a gun buy. 
Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.

sounds like YOU need both, too. Me? I only need about 10.... Bought the 41 for $200 at a pawn shop when I was in college. Traded it when I got my first job for a Super Blackhawk so I could hunt with a handgun  I have since learned

I found a mint 29-2, in box, with all the fancy little accessories and paperwork. $950.00.
Oh and it was a 4".
Fail...

I prefer the 41 over the colt. Keep in mind though if you were going to carry it everyday the colt is lighter and would probaly be a better pistol to pack.
If your like me and mostly shoot them at the range the 41 is the gun to have. I don't believe there is a finer 22 pistol made in this day and time.
I was talking with some bullseye shooters the other day and all claimed that the colt or a high standard would not shoot with the 41. I don't know if the average guy could tell the difference between them though.
I also prefer the older 41's to the newer ones. Do you know what year 41 you were looking at?

Dink Nope. If the guy said, I disremember. I go to a lot of shows and subsequently, hear a lot of dates. If I said the date that's in my mind now, it could just as well be for another gun. I may see the same guy this weekend, but I don't know if I'll still have the money. heheh

I never shoot at the 'range'. I s'pose THAT is my justification for not having a 41.......

You still see 41's and some HS Olympic's at Matches and for a reason. Rarely if ever do you see a Colt. 41.s work and are very accurate. The Colt while a nice gun it has a hard time standing up to those two guns when it comes to real accuracy.

Only you can decide how much you needed it but a Smith Model 41 is one of the finest rimfire handguns a guy could chose. The really nice ones aren't getting any cheaper.
