Go to the Clarks website and see what options are available for your 41. I hope you make the trip but be aware Clarks is not open on weekends. Dave

My experience differs. I Broke-in my 1978 41 with Stingers. Switched to Federal 500 round bulk boxes of 40 gr HV (Walmart closeouts for $7 or so). I kept the rails lubed but never had to clean for 6 boxes (3000 rds) or so. Lately I have been been shooting CCI SV and experienced failures to...

I found a post by Roy where he explains that any factory sight combination was offered at no charge on the pre-27. As a result it was not always listed on the invoice. There was a charge for a target hammer and trigger, so they are listed.

It is clear to me that after the handgun was shipped on April 9, 1953, it was returned to the factory and a 4 inch 44 Special barrel installed, some time after April of 1958. This scenario is implied by a close reading of the relevant documentation provided by Wetdog. Namely the letter from...

After reading the OP, I noted that none of the thumbnails show a Shield along with a 365. None appear in the thread. If I had both guns I would post some.
