Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Model 41 is a semi-automatic target pistol chambered in .22 Long Rifle, built on a precision-engineered platform, and introduced into production in 1957. Originally designed for competitive shooting, the Model 41 features a 10-round detachable magazine, a fully adjustable rear sight, and finely checkered walnut grips with a modified thumb rest, complemented by a deep-blue finish on its carbon steel frame and slide. The wide 0.365-inch trigger incorporates Smith & Wesson’s signature grooving and an adjustable stop, while the internal hammer contributes to the pistol’s clean, streamlined profile. Early production examples were equipped with a cocking indicator—a small protruding pin located at the rear of the frame beneath the slide—and barrel lengths included 5-, 5.5-, and 7 3/8-inch configurations. The 7 3/8-inch variant was fitted with a removable muzzle brake and an internally threaded weight, offered in alloy or steel, while heavy-barrel 5.5-inch versions occasionally featured extended front sights. Disassembly is accomplished by locking the slide to the rear and lowering the trigger guard, allowing the barrel and slide to lift free from the frame. Smith & Wesson offered several factory accessories, including Olympic-style counterweights in either alloy (light) or steel (heavy), two steel lower sections for clamping directly to the barrel recess on 7- and 7 3/8-inch models, an oversized trigger guard, and a .22 Short conversion kit.

Design refinements appeared throughout production: around serial number 16,000, relief cuts were added to the rear of the trigger guard, and by serial number 27,500, the model designation was moved from the left side of the frame to the right. In 1978, cost-reduction measures eliminated the cocking indicator, discontinued the 7 3/8-inch barrel, and introduced a 7-inch barrel. Notably, slides and barrels were never serialized to their frames. Although initial design work began in 1941, development was halted during World War II and resumed in 1947, with full production commencing in 1957 and continuing to the present day.
