I shot both the Victor and mod. 41 in competition and I liked both. I slightly preferred the shootability of the High Standard, I believe that it stayed on target a little better than the Smith. I attribute this to a lighter slide and, therefore, felt a little more comfortable in timed and rapid fire stages with the High Standard. I shot my best scores with the High Standard but the differences in inherent accuracy were negligable between the two. I had more concerns with the trigger pull on the Smith, it broke at exactly 2.2 lbs. and I was always worried that I would be disqualified for the trigger pull, I had to gingerly lift the kilogram weight off the ground while holding my breath or it would drop the hammer.

Good luck whatever you decide,
Steve
