Gotta admit, that is quiet!!! However, you may want her to wear shooting glasses, that might help with the blinking problem;) Chris

Squeezing the trigger does cause new shooters to squeeze the whole grip which certainly isn't what you want to do. The words used to describe the action of the trigger finger are varied so forget which word is right or wrong. Rather, know this.... The trigger must move perfectly inline with...

CCI Standard velocity is about the best ammo you can feed a 41 with. It is accurate (I shoot mid 280s NMC with it) and it is reliable. I can't recall the last fail to fire I had with CCI Std vel. I have tried many other "cheap" brands only to find reliability problems. Stick with what is a...

I have the Match Dot II on two guns, a 41 and a 1911. When I first put them on the guns (switching from cheaper dots), I hated the MDII. After shooting for a few weeks I got used to them and now I must say I like them. I have only been shooting indoors at 50 and 75 feet so I can't say the...

looks like those marks stand proud of the surface rather than into the surface. Could that be lead build up? Chris

Did S&W make a model 41 without a safety? The one I saw had the indicator pin on the back of the slide and the owner claimed it was purchase around 1980. Chris

Thanks much! Chris

Hi folks, When was the model 41 first introduced? Thanks Chris

I bought a brass catcher to avoid the complete hassle of trying to find/sort brass. While a bit expensive, it has easily paid for itself this year. I shoot a lot at an indoor range and a lot of my brass was swept forward of line. Now I just setup the unit, shoot as much as I want and it...

The gun was designed for CCI Standard Velocity ammo, don't waste time or money trying anything else. It is a precision target gun and should be treated as such. Mine is about 30 years old and still shoots great and it is not a queen, it gets shot a lot. It can easily hold a 1.5" group at 25...

What is the minimum for case length? Any info I could find showed the maximum length of which only a couple of my cases are at that length and about 2000 of them are shorter. Chris

Hi Folks, I am looking for a good, economical bipod for my 15-22. This is my first rifle and therefore my first AR style rifle. I have a hi-power scope for it so next up is the bi-pod, then after that I am not sure what toy to bolt onto it. Chris

I can't remember what the stock grips feel like anymore but the harrett nationals are pretty big and bulky. You may want to consider some 1911 styles grips which are made for the 41. Check out harrett's website - they are called "trainers". Chris

Having just spent about $140.00 for 200 rounds of match grade 38 special wadcutters, I need no more reason to reload than to keep the cost of shooting low enough to enjoy! Don't do it on hot humid days, it just plain sucks to do anything on a hot humid day except for floating around in the...

I suspect your problem has more to do with your magazines than it does with the load. I just went through a bunch of trouble with my 52 magazines I have been buying (new and used). What I learned from my experience is there were two primary causes for failure to feed.. 1) The clearance...
