me too
I have a burris and would like to lower down to the position yours is in. Would you mind sending the info to me?
Also my burris has a fairly large dot which obscures a small target do you have that problem?

I like the looks of Annie. I'm thinking of putting a Trijicon RSR on mine. Did you attach it to your rear sight or is the barrel drilled?Annie with a Burris Fastfire.
I've been thinking about a 41 for a while, and today I made arrangements to buy this set.
S/N a little under A600000, which I think points to about 1979. Shot some but not a lot, judging from magazine wear (it comes with two), and very well cared for.
Better pics coming in a few days. This is (I hope) my last bad cell phone pic. I expect to have a new phone by the end of the year that has image stabilization and better low-light image capture. It should produce more appealing grab shots.
That's not a red post sight; The previous owner just put some red paint on it. There's nothing on the sight on the shorter barrel, which looks like it was not used very much.

My College Pistol Team 41
I purchased this gun in 1973 new for $160 to shoot with on my college pistol team. The presentation case was hand built for me by my Father. Its never been dirty for 24 hours since new. It is semi-retired now. Somehow, I've got to figure out how to split it in two when it comes time to pass it down to my two boys. I hope that you can make out the dates on the tropies (1974-75). I feel real old right now.

Mine is sure sensitive. Won't shoot Winchester or Federal. After a trip back to factory, they called and told me to only expect CCI to be trouble-free. I thought that was pathetic! Mine does OK with Remington.
I've read all the posts with much appreciation but have a simple question. Sorry to say I don't know where and in what form the cocking indicator is. Help, thx

The cocking indicator is a pin that protrudes from the frame at the rear when the pistol is cocked and ready to fire. It was of dubious worth and many were deactivated in search of a finer trigger pull so S&W eliminated it in ( I think) the mid to late 1970's

I think this is the 4th, Model 41 I've just purchased, but the only one I now have. Picked this up as a set. The box is originally marked for a M46 but the grease pencil has 41 over top, and the original barrel of 7" is 7 3/8".
The 5.5 heavy barrel is of later vintage, as the blue is more of a "brushed" than the original barrel and frame bright blue.
A lot of light reflection in the photos, there isn't all that much wear to the finish.
The weights came with the package as well. No markings on the box. There are no cut outs in the box for mags.
Serial number 150XX. Does that put it in the 1960 range? The box has the 1955 date on the inside top lid.
Just need to find a field barrel.

Thats a very nice package indeed. Does the 5.5" barrel have the extendable front sight? My 1961 vintage model has a serial# 294XX. I would guess that your's may be a late 59ish model, but Tom Beckwith would be the person to answer that for sure. Does the box for the olympic weights have anything printed on the inside lid?, are the weights steel or maybe the very rare aluminum??. Very nice set, good luck on your quest for a field barrel, I would like one as well but they don't make an appearance very often.

Nope, doesn't have the extendable front sight.
The weights are steel and the box has no writing on it anywhere, inside or out. Just has a piece of the S&W wax paper inside and that's it.
I tried it today with a coffee can of mixed ammo. The jerk on the trigger wasn't that good, so the groups sucked.
So what ammo have you other fellas found to work in the 41?

NCTexan, You have the exact rig that I am hoping to get!
Any chance of some more photos of that sweet mounting of the Burriss FF ?

Where is this cocking lever or indicator I keep seeing you guys mention. I looked all over my gun and I don't see anything different when I cock the gun , so Im thinking I don't have one .
Just found my answer on page 5, and mine does not have the cocking indicator .

Bbl Weight set is later than pistol probably one of the later mfg near end of them. 7 3/8" bbl appears correct to frame. Note that the frame lacks finger groove cut - one of the last run that way. Box liner also appears correct to period vacant the mag cut. Top marked 46 on end is odd?? Could be it (46 box) was "available" and 41 boxes were not available - the 46 started about 18000, so boxes were probably in inventory in 1958.
Remember Rule #1 for S&W
