I have both a newer version of the Model 41 (shipped June 20, 2016) and a Ruger Mark IV.

In my opinion, the Model 41 is a much more refined target pistol. The factory trigger is a crisp 2.25 pounds.

The factory trigger on my Mark IV is a huge disappointment, especially when being compared to my Mark I and Mark II's.

Best of luck with your search and decision.
