Hello guys and gals from WAAAY up North...Canada EH ;)
Hello Everyone,
Just joined today. I live waaaay up North of you all in the town of Carleton Place, Ontario.
I got into handguns about 3 years ago and never looked back.
My father and I have collected 4 pistols so far, in order of acquisition;
1. Sig Sauer P226 Elite Dark 9mm
2. Ruger mkii 5" bbl 22cal
3. Browning BuckMark contour URX 5" 22cal
And last but CERTAINLY not least...is our most recent addition to the family.....wait for it...
4. A brand new, unfired 1988 Smith & Wesson Model 41 with a 5.25" barrel complete with a set of laminated cocobolo wood grips. In addition to the gun is also the original box, papers, cleaning kit, an exploded parts diagram, and 2 magazines. We don't have it in our possession as of yet because we're waiting for the paperwork to go through the RCMP. But we are anxiously waiting for the "go" word from the RCMP, then the seller can ship the gun.
When I saw this gun go up on a local forum webpage, as soon as I saw it, my eyes BULGED 👀 Out !! Then when I saw the letters "nib" and "unfired", I was all over it like white on rice. And lucky too, because the owner received 5 more emails right after mine. The owner said after he purchased it, it was placed in a vault where it's been ever since. But trust me gang, my father and I fully intend to do what that fine piece of hardware was designed for... to shoot !! 
Ok, enough of boring you all to death, I have a question;
I looked in the table of contents for the forum topics, but I didn't see one specific to the model #41. Can any of you point me to the right place? I have a few questions and would like a few pointers on this fine firearm.
Thanks again y'all, and look forward to being active asap !!

Ya'll welcome from Tennessee. You write real good. That mod. 41 is almost a class of it's own. Probably under S&W semi auto, 1950 to present.

Welcome from the Pine Barrens of Southern New Jersey.
You can post in the sub forum for S&W semi autos, or possibly the sub forum under competitions.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys n gals. it's nice to get such a warm welcome from my neighbors to my south 
Must be that good ole " Southern Hospitality" I've heard so much about eh ?  I must say I was really surprised to see all the rules regarding conduct, respect, and friendliness. You don't see that much anymore on forums. I've been a member of some others where if you asked a question that was deemed "dumb/noob/obvious" to other members....well...let's just say I didn't stay there long.
I'm really looking forward to participating here on the forum. And hey, as SOON as I get my baby (1988 Model 41, NEW in box never been fired), I'll post pics of it in the appropriate section so y'all can take a peek at her. Wait...I have a few pics the seller sent me, so when I get home, I'll upload them.
Wait till you see her guys, she's a B E A U T !!!! I gotta say when I saw how nicely blued she was, I had to wipe the drool from my chin. But then again, I'm sure you've all seen one of those before huh.

Welcome aboard . . . but you're not even from northern Ontario! You're not even north of Sudbury, let alone Moosonee! (Dad's got a place on Superior, 60 miles N of the Soo. Wonderful province you've got there.)
