Smith & Wesson Model 41

Small Arms And Sidearms

The Smith & Wesson Model 41 is an American semi-automatic target pistol introduced after the Second World War and chambered in .22 Long Rifle, built as a competitive precision firearm rather than a service sidearm. It was designed with an 18-degree grip angle matching that of the Colt M1911 so shooters could maintain a consistent point of aim between pistols, and it operates by straight blowback in a single-action-only trigger system. The pistol weighs about 41 ounces, measures roughly 10.5 inches overall with a 5.5 or 7 inch barrel, and feeds from a 10-round detachable box magazine.
