Hello, I just bought my first handgun and I picked a model 41 and having fun so far. However I'm having the fail to fire and fail to eject problems and was searching out causes and fixes for this which led me to this forum. I already have gotten lots of valuable info from you guys.
I have just ordered a couple new clips, new extractors and extractor springs for both barrels (5.5 and 7) and a recoil spring and a new firing pin and spring as well as a new cross bolt pin. The gun is from the early 60's and is in really good shape so I hope this helps to make it shoot as good as it looks. I've tried about 10 differant kinds of ammo and none have worked without fail so this is what i've decided to try. Hopefully I'm on the right track.
Look forward to learning from the people who know more than I do because life is too short to make all the mistakes myself.

Greetings from Maine. Great choice on your first handgun, unfortunately after having choosen such a nice S&W, you are sure to be bit by the "S&W Bug", and I see more in your future. :D

There are lots of helpful and knowledgeable folks here.

Welcome from Texas mudbug. Great forum for all things S&W, have fun, learn lots, share what you know.
 
Welcome, Mudbug! Hope you get your 41 running. I have one that once belonged to a now-deceased friend, and it seems to like CCI Mini-Mags and Green Tag best. Tack-driver, it is. By the way, since someone else will tell you if I don't, those aren't clips, they are magazines.
