I disagree with the statement that model 41's are made to run on CCI SV.
My 1980 vintage model 41 will not run on SV, unless you put in a reduced power recoil spring. I have shot Super X HV and now CCI blazer HV since the early 1980's, never replaced a single part except recoil springs, (std S&W springs, no buffer). I shoot around 5000 rds a year thru it, it is still as accurate and dependable has it ever was.
When can I expect for the disaster to start ?

Actually the even more prefered ammo for the SW M 41 was CCI Green Tag!
Buy a few boxes of those and go broke!
Yes my gun will shoot most any HV ammo, but it is supposed to be a target gun and shoot SV ammo.
I reload almost every handgun caliber and several rifles.
I load 38 special wadcutters for the M 52 with real mouse fart loads. It is all about the recoil spring and slide weight.
I f I shot full powered loads in that gun it what damage it,
