I'm afraid to take to the range and shoot it for fear of how well it will probably shoot and being terrified to put a blemish in it. If I know how accurate it is, I'm going to want to play with it. Quit being a puss.....

My friend says sure but before I start looking, you need to come in and see this; So did I screw up? It is beautiful. But that barrel is so, uhh, loooong.....grin

After retiring and turning in my 208, I started shooting the 41 again. Lots of fun with the old gun. Bob Picked up a newer 41; one of the Performance Center guns. After one of my AMU armorer buddies tuned the extractor and trigger (I like a nice roll-off break), it shoots as well as any 41. Last edited by RGK; 01/09/21.

A lot of the decision will come down to fit and what you will use it for. The Colt grip is a little smaller than the 41 so might fit smaller hands better. The grip angles are also different, for Bullseye shooting, the 41 is preferred because the grip angle is closer to the 1911 platform. I plink with my Colt and shoot competition with the 41. Personally, I would jump on the Colt, they don’t show up every day, especially in that condition. There will always be another 41 around. I would not buy a new 41 anyway, the QC at S&W is not what it once was. Look for a good used one instead. Mine are from the 60’s and 70’s and shoot great!
