    Intervention

    In the scenario described above, I would have let those two idiots fight it out. I would get involved if they got into my face and react accordingly. But above all, call the cops as so and possible and have the descriptions of the parties involves etched in your mind.

    Model 41 failure to eject

    Just a follow up on my quest for a resolution on my Model 41 issues. After doing the suggestions on this thread, replacing the extractor with the Volquartsen model, and replacing the recoil springs with Wolff ones, I was able to finally get my gun to run without stovepipes, FTE, etc. Shot it...

    Performance Center - still poor production

    I've got a Model 41at was built in November 2008. Run well enough until a few month ago with constant failure to feed and eject. I took the steps in replacing the extractor with a Volquartsen Exact Edge, replacing all springs including the recoil spring and firing pin spring. I also cleaned...

    41 magazine disassembly??

    I know this is an old thread but fortunately it came up on Google search and this thread helped me immensely. I've been having problems with my Model 41 FTE/jamming and I've already changed out the springs and cleaned out the chamber immaculately. A couple magazines worked flawlessly but after...

    Finally joined the 686 club - thanks to all who gave their advice

    Good choice in revolvers. My first revolver was a Model 686 Plus with 4" barrel. Really fun to shoot. In fact my favorite gun to shoot. I've got some Ahrend wood grips mounted on which I refinished a couple years ago. Nil walnut grips are really nice and I have these on a couple other Smith and...

    Model 41 failure to eject

    I'm finding out that you may be right about cleaning the bore chamber. I tried dropping a few rounds in the bore chamber and they didn't slip in easily. I guess I didn't clean the bore as good as I thought I did. I did install the new Volquartsen Exact Edge extractor though. BTW, I ordered...

    Model 41 failure to eject

    I use American Eagle, Winchester, CCI, Remington ammo. It doesn't matter which ammo. All ammo used to work quite well with my Model 41 except cheap bulk ammo.

    Model 41 failure to eject

    armorer951: Yes, that's the page I am referring to. I've detail stripped the slide, bolt, extractor, etc. Recoil spring has not been replaced. eljaydubya: I'll see if cleaning the bore chamber will help but I will mention that the barrel had been soaking for a day in some gentle gun cleaner...

    Model 41 failure to eject

    Aloha to all. I've owned my Model 41 since 2008 brand new. Never had a problem until recently. I couldn't get through a magazine without having the spent round not eject and the new round getting hung up underneath the spent round. Got it all cleaned out and spotless and ran a few dummy rounds...
