HISTORY: The Smith & Wesson Model 41 is a semi-automatic pistol developed after World War II as a competitive target pistol. It was designed with a 105 degree grip angle, the same as the Colt M1911 pistol to maintain a consistent grip angle. In July, 1947, two prototypes—numbered X-41 and X-42—were produced, tested, and improved for the next 10 years. In 1957, the Model 41 was made available to the public. The Model 41 was designed with National Pistol Matches in mind which were very popular in the 1940s - 1960s. Barrels are honed and button-rifled for accuracy and have a reputation for being the most accurate available for a handgun. In 1992, the Model 41 was dropped from production. In 1994, Smith & Wesson returned it to production as the Model 41 (New Model). FREE SHIPPING & NO PROCESSING FEES.
