Yesterday I purchased a Mint condition S & W mod 41 at an auction, talked to the man who sold it and he said he just bought it and put it in his safe. Checking the dates it was made in the first year of production.







I brought her home, cleaned and lubricated her then shot 30 rounds of PMC Target ammo through her, my target was 88 yards, she shot a 2 X 4" group with one jam.

I was amazed to find she was made the first year of production, the year I graduated from high school.
