Hello,
I want to buy a Model 41 and now, I found two advertiseses which sees be good.
But the barrel of the pistols let me thinking. It is a 5,5" barrel, but at the front, it looks like a 7 / 7,5" barrel. Also the rear sight is the same as the 7 / 7,5" barrel. I've heared about barrels, which have 5" and are cutted from 7 / 7,5" barrels. But these have a plug at the front under the muzzle.
This is not at the both described pistols. You can see pictures here:

Was there a time, who S&W has this barrels with the M41 delivered as standard? Does anyone knows this barrels and can me say something at this?
The serial number of the guns are A484... & A591... so I think, they were manufactored between 1979-1981 (is it right?). The advertised pistols are at the german market.
Thanks a lot and nice greetings.
