Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns SO I'M AT THE GUN SHOP

Try CCI Standard Velocity.

That's what S&W customer service told to try.

Ok. Was curious, we are in Bedford.
Hope the weather is decent for you, our outlook now is snowy.
Not anything to empty the stores of bread and toilet paper, but 1-2 inches every day.

Holler if you might end up over this way.

Something similar happened to me about six years ago at my local gun shop. One of the owners put a Smith 41 5” barreled model in my hand and I took the bait. I put some smaller grips on mine for a better fit in my hands. I believe they’re tested for function with CCI standard velocity rounds but match rounds can bring out its capabilities. Try it with a handgun scope or a red dot if you want to see what it’ll really do......especially if you have a teeny problem using irons with “mature” eyeballs. 😊

Very nice, jorge.

And no Hillary Hole.

Shoot well across all my guns.

Absolutely.

You do know that you can have both size barrels. They are interchangeable on the 41.

Someone told me that their late model 41 in the instruction manual said that you can shoot HV ammo in it. Is that true? My older 41 said specifically not to use HV ammo. I would not do it, but I'm curious.

Note: I'm with Rat's. Stick wood is better than plywood, but what the hell, it's a 41.

Yes I do, but I'm fine with the 7". As to the ammo, I'll have to read the manual and get back to you. I do know that in my OLD (pre) Woodsman, it's standard velocity only, but the newer Target Woodsman can do both and I expect it will be the same for the 41

Mine calls it "The dumb 'ol gun store". Our Cabela's/Bass Pro store is right near the grocery store and I threaten to go in there with her in the car, but she never answers in the affirmative. Better that she doesn't know more than she does. She knows that I'd need a scope for a rifle, but she doesn't know a Simmons from a Swarovski.

Update for you guys. The gun operates flawlessly with CCI and Magtech standard vel ammo, but the Norma TAC 22 created a few failure to extract and or feed and the HK almost as bad. Go figure.

Interesting; my new M&P 1522 pistol doesn't like Norma TAC 22 either. I know, two completely different animals, but both S&W. My 1522 carbine has run through hundreds of rounds of TAC 22 without a hiccup.

I had an old retired friend when I was about 22 years old and knew everything. He invited me to come to his home and I brought my daughter of 3 years age with me. He loved the little one, Cookie. We talked and he proceeded to show me an old blunderbuss and lots of guns. All originals and no unfired ones. Both black powder and up to almost modern era cartridge guns, but the one I wanted so much was an old long barreled 41. I should have gotten into the will. The nephew that got the guns wouldn't even sell one. Be Well, RZ.

I really enjoy shooting my 41. I managed to pick up a sport barrel. Really can’t decide which of the 3 I like best.
