Well I got the 41 from Cabela's...finally. Slow shipping for certain. UPS second day air to ship 75 miles....oh ok...85 miles then! In the meantime I got another 41(7 3/8") in the 771XX serial range(mid 60s?). And the price was really right on it so now I have 3. And I have 2 extra barrels. I may sell one of the bbls...probably the 7 inch one. My wife has glommed on to the one I got from Cabela's. Even though it is longer the darn thing is lighter even with the compensator. Darn these things are really nice shooters. Cleaning out the vault downstairs I have found all kinds of little things S&W. I didn't know I was a S&W collector! I do need to find a set of stocks/grips for a 41 though.
