    Help with Value and Year on a Model 41

    Some gun shops will sell your gun on consignment. At least they do here in Michigan. They take about a 15% commission.

    Contemplating a model 41. Go new or go old?

    I have four of them, and a M46. 1970, 1978,1987 and a 2015 PC model. They all work flawlessly except the PC which I have had extraction problems with. Also the cocking serrations are cut a little deeper and sharper on the older ones, making it easier to rack the slide. The safety on the PC is...

    My Latest Acquisition

    Very nice gun. Do you plan to shoot it? I have two model 46's, both with 7" barrels. One gets shot regularly, the other is a safe queen.

    Model 41 at LGS

    Thanks Tom S., but I already own a PC M41. I was only interested in the other one because of it's age and condition. Just my opinion, but I think the older models were of better quality.

    Model 41 at LGS

    I was in a different LGS today and saw another M41 for sale. This one was made around 1987. Had a 7" barrel that had been d&t'd and had a BSA red dot mounted, also had a nice set of target grips plus the original grips. Two mags, but no box. $800.00 plus tax. Real nice condition, maybe 98%...

    Model 41 at LGS

    After thinking about it for a few days, I've decided not to buy it. I'll probably kick myself later though.

    Model 41 at LGS

    I was browsing a local gun shop today and found a very nice older M41. The gun was probably from the late '60's (sn 1117xx), 7 3/8 barrel with muzzle brake, box and waxed wrapping paper, one original magazine plus two additional mags with plastic followers. The blueing was at least 99% and grips...

    Value of Smith 41 from 1980?

    I recently bought a 1978 model in mint condition with box and two mags for $850.00. I probably would have paid more, but that is all they were asking for it. I have fired 600 rounds of CCI SV so far without any malfunctions.

    Thanks Tom S. Actually, this was pointed out to me by a member on another forum.

    Mounting Ultradot Matchdot on Perf. Ctr. Model 41

    The front sight is spring loaded and removes easily! Start at the muzzle and with your thumb press the sight to the rear. When it starts to move lift up. Reinstallation is a reversal of the process.

    Real world value of Model 46

    According to the 37th Blue Book of Gun Values, pg 958, Mint is described as typically 98%-99% condition with almost no observable wear. Probably sold previously at retail, and may have been shot occasionally.
