Default Model 41 Slide Stop

Does the slide stop need to be changed for the .22 short conversion kit.

Yes...22 short slide stop has the shortest of the three slide stops cuts. The longer 2 are for the 22lr

Watch eBay and hope you are the highest bidder is all I can say...
They are extremely rare and I could do with at least half a dozen myself for some if my 41-1s missing the stop..

If you are very talented you can make one out of the longer stops. I have seen it done in the past.

Somebody who is talented enough and has the correct cutting tools could create a bunch of them from the longer ones and make a decent dollar by selling them as the market need is out there.

I suspect in fact there would be almost no call for them as you almost never see the .22 short conversion for sale.

Just my two cents.

GrayDog you just had a Collector of them state he needed some himself.I realize that there are not all that many of those kits out there but he won't be alone in needing some. They are a wear part in these guns.

Default Slide stops

The 41-1 slide stop has barely 3/32 of an inch notch in it for the 22 short ejection. The earliest slide stops for 22 LR had a very long notch, which was later changed to what is now used on 22LR.
I have found I don't need the 22 short slide stop on the 7 3/8 barrel. Since you have a longer barrel, you get a little more power on the ejection cycle.
You must however use the lighter spring. I would never shoot anything but 22 short target, as the aluminum slide will get hammered over time.
The 5 1/2 and 5 inch 22 short require the 22 Short slide stop.
Numerich sells unfinished slide stops, No notch has been cut in them, problem is you need to get the flat spring slot cut in, and it's quite thin. So conventional tools are of no use here. I have no idea why S&W Can't produce the finished slide stop with No notch in it at all, and let the people get there own notch cut in it. Seems if those stops are stamped and bent to shape prior to the notch being cut in, it should be quite simple to skip 1 operation. I have 4 of the 7 3/8 kit's and one 5 1/2 kit in 22 short. I recently sold my 5 inch 22 short kit, which is the only one I had ever seen for sale, I only know of one or two other people that own one and the price reflects it.
