Took a chance and bought a new Model 41 with the 7" barrel. Read lots of posts here and elsewhere listing issues with FTF, FTE, Stovepiping, Tumbling, etc. I was a little concerned to say the least. Went to the range today with CCI standard velocity and.....No issues. None. Zero. Shoots tiny groups from a rested hold. Only issues are my old eyes. Very happy with S&W. Just thought I'd give the S&W mechanic who put this one together a big thank you from a satisfied customer.
