The Model 41 was first released in 1957 with serial number 3001. In 1978, the cocking indicator was removed to reduce costs. This particular model has a serial number of 11559 and still retains its cocking indicator, which makes it a valuable and sought-after early production model.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Model 41 is a semi-automatic pistol developed by Smith & Wesson after World War II as a competitive target pistol. It was designed with a 105-degree grip angle, like 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 for sale when Smith & Wesson produced 679 units. At the end of 1958, they had built 9,875 Model 41 pistols. A lighter 5-inch barrel was offered in 1958 for field use.
In August 1963, the 5-inch heavy barrel version came onto the market. Stoeger's Shooter's Bible of 1964 shows a 7 3⁄8-inch barrel grooved for Olympic center weights. The cocking indicator and 7 3⁄8-inch barrel were dropped in 1978. The 7-inch barrel was introduced in 1978 with no provision for a muzzle brake. A 6-inch barrel was offered for a few months in 1991. In 1992, the Model 41 was dropped from production. In 1994, Smith & Wesson returned it to production as the Model 41 (New Model).
