Default S&W Model 41 on a Diet



Had spare time today and decided to put the model 41 on a diet and mounted a C-More directly on the slide.

The C-More is mounted on the barrel cut the rear part of the barrel off and fluted the sides.

Default M-41 Diet

I'm the dummy here so I'll ask why you needed/wanted to place your M-41 on such a strict diet? Was it just because you have the ability and the facilities or does it serve an advantageous purpose?

The result looks ........ ahhhhh ........ hmmmm ....... interesting. I thought this is what Field Barrels are for. To be fair I should mention that I'm an iron sight shooter and would appreciate another 1/4 pound added to a 5 1/2" barrel for bullseye. There aren't enough Field Barrels to go around, they've expensive and collectable so drilling and tapping one is questionable plus you already owned the bull barrel. The width of your modified barrel matches the sight better than a Field Barrel would. Also the absence of the barrel's rear extension makes it more convient to retract the slide and provides more clearance for ejection. Best of all, just switch barrels and you're back to an unmodified pistol. Your idea might catch on, but it makes me want to oil and admire my Field Barrel.

I hope it helps your scores.

Best Regards,
Gil
