The Smith & Wesson Model 41 represents the pinnacle of rimfire precision engineering, delivering match-grade accuracy that has dominated competitive shooting for over six decades. This full-size target pistol transforms casual plinking into serious marksmanship training with its precision-machined steel construction and competition-proven design.
What Makes This Different
The Model 41's button-rifled steel barrel undergoes individual hand-fitting to achieve tolerances that mass-production firearms cannot match. Each barrel receives a deep blue finish that resists corrosion while maintaining the classic appearance competitive shooters demand. The serrated slide and frame surfaces provide positive grip control during rapid-fire strings, while the adjustable target sights allow precise zero adjustment for various ammunition weights.
Key Features
- 5.5-inch button-rifled steel barrel with deep blue finish for maximum accuracy potential
- 10+1 capacity with reliable single-stack magazine design
- Checkered walnut target grips sized for extended shooting sessions
- Adjustable target sights with micro-click windage and elevation
- Serrated slide and frame surfaces for enhanced grip control
- Single-action trigger mechanism tuned for competitive shooting

Competitive shooters rely on the Model 41's consistent trigger break and minimal muzzle flip to maintain sight alignment through rapid-fire courses. The 22 LR chambering allows extensive practice without the cost burden of centerfire ammunition, while the steel frame absorbs recoil for faster follow-up shots. Indoor ranges and outdoor competitions both showcase this pistol's ability to deliver sub-2-inch groups at 50 yards with quality match ammunition.
