I just bought a new 7" 41, but because of CA law, must wait ten days before I can take possession. In the meantime, I'd like to get the parts I need to mount my UltraDot LT.
I've searched this forum for photos of mounting configurations and most seem to favor the Weigand. Seems like a well-made mount, but looks weird on the 7" because of the way it protrudes over the sculpted front portion of the barrel. I think I read in one thread that because of the barrel's shape, tightening the front-most screw bends the mount downward unless it's shimmed. True? Can you experienced guys give me the pros and cons of this mount?
I see that Brownells offers a 41 mount made by LPS. I haven't seen a photo of one of these mounted, but I like its locking slots every 3/8", unlike the Weigand. It also appears to be longer; 6" vs. about 4.5". Any experience with this one? Photos? Pros and cons?
I'm in a quandray. I like functionality, but I don't like ugly. Is there a good mount that doesn't look like an out of place afterthought for the 7"? I guess some have bob-tailed mounts when using the UltraDot LT, but I would prefer not to do that if I don't have to. Help, please.

Howdy,
A Weaver #62 base fits a factory drilled barrel.
Hope this helps and good luck with your pistol.
Mike

Bullseye Gear has a Weaver type mount drilled and countersunk to fit the Model 41 for less than $10 as I recall. I have one and it fits very well.

I prefer the Weaver # 62 base myself, it looks good, is cheap, and works as long as you don't need a picatinny rail type mount.
I used the weigand mount on my brother's 41, and cut off the front section, it looked better that way to me.

Thanks for the info, guys. Cutting off a Weigand is an option I'll consider.

Did you cut off the mount, just wondering how it worked? I am wanting to put a burris fastfire on my model 41 and was thinking about cutting the mount off to the same lenght as the sight. Thought it might look better that way.

Here is mine, newer barrel, original with muzle brake is put away.
