Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

The Model 41 has been S&W's flagship rimfire pistol since its debut in 1957, and after nearly seven decades it still holds its own against anything else in the category. The design went through ten years of development before it ever hit the market, and the result was a pistol that immediately went on backorder and essentially stayed there. It's a single-action, straight-blowback semi-auto built entirely from carbon steel, with a deep blued finish and checkered wood target grips that feel as good as they look. This isn't a range toy dressed up to look serious.
The 5.5-inch heavy barrel is button-rifled for consistent, repeatable accuracy, and the sights are a micrometer click-adjustable rear paired with an undercut Patridge front. That combination gives you the precision you need whether you're punching paper at 25 yards for fun or competing in a bullseye match. The trigger is factory-set between 2.75 and 3.25 lbs with a user-adjustable overtravel stop, so you can dial it in to your preference without sending it to a gunsmith. The all-steel construction at just over 41 ounces gives the pistol a planted, steady feel in the hand, which helps a great deal with the already mild recoil of .22 LR.
One often-overlooked detail on the Model 41 is its switch-barrel design. The frame accepts both 5.5-inch and 7-inch barrels, so if you ever want to experiment with a longer sight radius or a different balance point for competition, you can do it without buying a whole new pistol. The grip angle mirrors that of the 1911 at 18 degrees, which means if you already shoot a 1911 regularly, the transition to this platform feels completely natural.
This is a pistol that works for competitive bullseye shooting, serious practice, and for the collector who wants a piece of American firearms history that also happens to function flawlessly. It ships with two 10-round magazines, a locking device, and owner's manual.
The Model 41 is all-steel construction with a hand-fitted level of machining and finishing that most production .22 pistols simply don't have. The factory trigger is crisp and comes in between 2.75 and 3.25 lbs right out of the box, with a user-adjustable overtravel stop. It's been used at the national competition level for decades, and the consistent accuracy it produces is a direct result of that precision barrel and tight tolerances throughout. For serious target shooting, it's genuinely in a different league.
Yes, and that's one of the more underappreciated features of this platform. The Model 41's frame is designed to accept both the 5.5-inch heavy barrel and the 7-inch barrel, so you have flexibility depending on your shooting purpose or competition rules. The swap is fairly straightforward and doesn't require any gunsmithing. It's a nice option to have if you want to experiment with different balance points or sight radii down the road.
The Model 41 was essentially built for bullseye competition, and it's been a staple at that level since the late 1950s. The Patridge front sight, micrometer click adjustable rear, factory trigger pull, and adjustable trigger stop all reflect that purpose. The all-steel construction keeps the weight consistent and the pistol steady during slow-fire stages. It fits within standard bullseye weight limits with the 5.5-inch barrel.
The Model 41 is chambered in standard .22 LR and generally runs best with standard-velocity target loads, which are common in bullseye competition. High-velocity loads can work, but standard velocity tends to produce more consistent cycling and better accuracy from a target pistol of this type. It's worth trying a few different loads to find what groups best in your particular gun, since all rimfire barrels have their preferences.
The Model 41 is straightforward to field strip once you understand the design. The barrel and sights are fixed to the frame and do not move during firing, which is actually part of why the pistol is so accurate. Regular cleaning of the barrel, chamber, and action is recommended to keep it running reliably. Most owners report that a basic cleaning takes only a few minutes once you're familiar with the process.
The Model 41 was designed with an 18-degree grip angle, which is the same as the classic Colt 1911. If you shoot a 1911 regularly, you'll likely feel right at home with the Model 41's natural point of aim. The checkered wood target grips are also ambidextrous in their design, with a comfortable thumb rest on both sides, which works well for both right- and left-handed shooters.
