Model 41, first trip to the range.

The model 41 is a handgun that shoots like a rifle. I recall shooting 50 rds at 50 meters with my 41 with the 5.5 barrel. The 2 inch bull was nearly completely shot out with cheap at the time, .22 lr CCI blazer ammo, I believe something like $8.00 / 500 rd bricks. With match ammo 1 inch groups would be the baseline at that range. In my opinion the model 41 was and is the best handgun they manufactured.
Nice looking gun, congrats!
I shot NRA Bullseye (indoor 50' and outdoor 25/50 yds) for about 10 years and a 5.5" HB 41 was my rimfire gun for most of it. I settled on CCI-SV as my match ammo. While I could wring out a little more accuracy with high-$ match ammo, the CCI-SV was capable of all-day x-ring accuracy out the 50 yds and it didn't break the bank. I still have the gun and thankfully, a few cases of CCI-SV. My kids are starting to shoot and maybe the Bullseye bug will bite them.

Thanks for the report, I got my 1967 model 41 on a very lucky friday the 13th. I have yet to get to the range as I am waiting for ammo for my 629 6". I will post pictures when I do go. Scott
