Customer Reviews for Smith & Wesson Model 41 .22 LR 5.5" Barrel, 10+1

The model 41 smith, and Wesson got it right.This firearm in my old school opinion is the best 22 rimfire pistol ever. I know about all of the new technology and how it’s produced some very good pistols.. I guess where I come from I like a good solid product. You know the old school thought if it’s not heavy and beautiful it’s not good. Bottom line is this is a solid piece of true history. It functions flawlessly. The history behind this piece is a vet from World War II. Come home and wanted to create an excellent target pistol and so he did.

Very Accurate .22 Cal. target pistol. This thing shoots with guns costing lots more & still stays within competition size & weight limitations. The S&W M41 still deserves its great reputation with this one.

One sweet shooting 22. Great trigger pull, amazingly accurate out of the box. Love this gun. Easy to clean great looking on top of everything else

Fit and finish is excellent. The M41 is easy to take apart for cleaning. The pistol is as accurate as a rifle.

I have wanted a S&W model 41 for 40 years and I finally made the decision to purchase. Buds guns had the best price and availability. I have been doing business with Buds for 20 years and find their staff is knowable, friendly and courteous. Consistently Buds has the best prices and availability. Love to do business with them!!!!

Yes, its expensive, but you'll quickly see and feel the quality.

Had one of the older models for several years before selling it. Decided to get a new one. This one shoots good but the overall craftsmanship is definitely not as good as the earlier version. Would still recommend this Gun as it is very accurate and fun to shoot.

This is my second S&W Model 41 Pistol! This is by far, the BEST and most accurate pistol that I have ever fired. Yes, it is an expensive pistol, but for a pistol that is made from all steel with very high quality bluing and beautiful walnut grip panels made with very tight tolerances, it is worth it.. According to Smith & Wesson’s website, Used by national level competitors for acute precision in competition, the Model 41 is considered one of the best .22 target pistols ever manufactured. Produced for the the civilian market since 1956, there has to be a reason for this firearm to remain in production. At 25 yards, my pistol will put 5 rounds in a standard target that you can put a penney over. It takes about 10 seconds to field strip and a few minutes to clean, lube and put back together. Buds made the purchase effortless and I was very impressed as always. I highly recommend this pistol and the 90 day layaway makes this $1199.00 handgun affordable!

I've been looking for a model 41 for quite some time - not many new ones are available. When I saw it on Bud's website I went ahead and purchased it. This was my first Bud's purchase and first online buy and the whole experience went very smoothly. Bud's customer service led me through the steps. Initial impressions of the model 41 - very well built with precisely fitted parts. I was able to shoot a 10 shot group at 50' into 1.5", which is more a reflection of my limits rather than the pistol. Overall I am extremely pleased with this purchase.

Very nice gun, I just got iMy two days a go, and I was ready to go and test it;...... MAN!!!! THIS IS THE GUN !!!! Now I'm buying My second M 41 7' Barrel from a person in New Jersey.. Any one planing to get one of this pistols BUY IT! 5 STARS PISTOL . Buds Gun Shop 4 Stars

My gun arrived last week. There were dark streaks in the bluing on the left side of the barrel, and dark blue streaks on the right side of the slide. I cleaned it when I got it and there seemed to be a large amount of powder residue in the gun. There also seemed to be unusual wear on the rails and around the breech area for a new gun. It was as if the gun was used. I am very unhappy with my purchase and have sent it to S&W for them to look at.

"The best of the best" The gun and Buds!

If I could give this gun 6 stars I would. I shoot primarily 9mm handguns and was looking for a .22lr to reduce my costs on ammo. I went back and forth for months between the Ruger Mark III and the Browning Buck Mark. It didn't help that between those two guns there were over 30 choices of models. All of the reviews I read about the two guns sounded like discussions of politics or religion. The one consistent comment I heard while reading the reviews was that if it weren't for the price they would all be shooting the 41. I have to admit the price did cause me to pause right up until I shot one. I own guns from Glock, Taurus, Sig Sauer, Ruger, Colt and Remington and nothing I own or have ever shot compares to the enjoyment I have gotten from shooting this gun. Also, by far one of the easiest guns to clean and maintain. Obviously way more money than the competition but well worth the money. Besides in my opinion, the competion for this gun is not the Ruger or the Browning but instead some of the european target pistols. It best feature in my opinion is the trigger. Breaks like a thin glass rod.
