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.

Don't know about the Colt, but with regards to the High Standard vs the 41, I think those bullseye shooters might get an argument from a couple shooters named Huelet "Joe" Benner and William McMillan, both Olympic gold medal winners using High Standard pistols. Benner won his gold medal in 1952 before the 41 came into existence, but went on to consult for High Standard. McMillan won his in 1960, a few years after the 41 was introduced.
I have both a High Standard Trophy and a 41, both built in the late 60s. Both are a lot more accurate than I am, and I like 'em both.
