Early 41 5" bbls were made by S&W from 7” barrels cut to length after they had been drilled for UB wgt. Actually 5" bbls ranged from 4 3/4" to 5 1/4"b. This barrel measures 5 inches. And has the plug installed.

Last of the model number on the left side. Serial 19408, rear pin indicating the gun is cocked. Overall condition is excellent. One original magazine with metal follower.

The finish on the early pistols is vastly superior to the later.

My 1961 M41 makes my 1980s version look like ugly Betty!

They both shoot lights out! And easy to break down and clean.

To anyone looking for an accurate 22, the old S&W 41(s) are the way to go. I own 6 of them that I used for Competitive Shooting. My 5" barreled gun will put ten shots into a thumbnail sized group at 50 yds.
 
This takes me back as I owned an identical pistol in the late 90s until our government confiscated them☹️
 
I see a lot of these imported from the UK now. Most look like they were used in shooting competitions. Some appear to have been used long and hard. They are a pleasure to shoot. I have 4 now. Two I shoot and 2 I do not shoot. This is a none shooter.

But don't you feel SAFER?

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
