Your right. Holding 6" low I can shoot nice group in 10 ring. I believe I will try and get a lower sight. I have plenty of guns to shoot, but always feel like I am spending time with Dad when I take it out. I did give wrong date. According to serial number it dates 1957. Thanks for everyone's...

Thank you for your help.

taking a picture is no problem, but I have no idea how to post the pictures. There are pictures of my 41 on this sight, but I guess due to failing memory I cannot remember how to post them.

i use cci standard velocity.

I will take pictures. As much as I have been around guns my whole life I did not recognize the term barrel extension. My father purchased new in 1958. He did not make any changes. I have his 1957 model 27 .357 magnum as well. No changes to that either.

Maybe he is talking about the muzzle break. I have lowered the rear sight as low as it goes. I am lost at this point.

If I take the barrel extension off will that show me anything. shooting it without the extension that is.

I am a little confused. If I am correct if I am shooting high then my rear sight needs to be lowered (which is as low as it goes) or my front sight needs to be higher.

shooting off sandbag. Yes, I have had several people shoot it. I have been shooting all my life. It groups great...just 6" high.

I have a 1958 model S&W model 41 I received from my dad. Shooting 6" high at 25 yds. Rear sight all the way down. Any suggestions?

The two other gunsmiths said they don't work on old S&W because parts were hard to find.

Took it to the range this weekend. Shoots like a new gun. S&W were the only ones that refused to work on it. The guy who fixed it was a old S&W gunsmith. I am very happy.
