Bryant Ridge Co. is pleased to present this highly sought-after semi-automatic pistol for a penny-start auction; this is the Smith & Wesson Model 41, also known as the .22 Rimfire Single Action Target Pistol!
This Smith & Wesson Model 41 features a cocking indicator—a small protruding pin on the rear of the frame that provides both visual and tactile confirmation that the pistol is cocked and ready to fire. This feature was a useful safety and readiness aid, especially appreciated by target shooters and range users. However, the cocking indicator was dropped from production in 1978, making earlier models like this one particularly desirable among collectors and enthusiasts for their vintage design and added functionality.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Model 41 is a premium, American-made semi-automatic target pistol, widely regarded as one of the finest rimfire handguns ever produced. Introduced in 1957, the Model 41 was designed from the ground up for competitive shooting, with input from top marksmen to ensure the highest standards of accuracy, balance, and trigger performance. Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, the Model 41 features a blowback-operated action and a finely machined steel frame and slide that provide exceptional stability and durability. The most prominent feature is its match-grade barrel—available in various lengths (typically 5.5 or 7 inches)—which is known for delivering outstanding precision thanks to its tight bore tolerances and crisp, recessed muzzle crown. Combined with its adjustable micrometer rear sight and interchangeable front sights, the Model 41 offers shooters fine control over point of aim and sight picture—crucial elements for success in bullseye and precision rimfire competition.

Beyond its accuracy, the Model 41 is revered for its outstanding trigger system, which breaks cleanly at around 2.5 to 3 pounds with minimal overtravel. The trigger is adjustable for both pull weight and overtravel, a feature that enhances shooter control and consistency, particularly in slow-fire competition stages. The ergonomic wooden target grips—often featuring thumb rests and palm swells—contribute to the pistol’s stable handling and comfort during prolonged use. Over the decades, the Model 41 has seen a number of limited production runs, barrel configurations, and aesthetic refinements, but its core design has remained virtually unchanged—a testament to its timeless quality. Whether used in NRA bullseye matches, collegiate shooting programs, or simply as a high-end plinking pistol, the Smith & Wesson 41 has maintained an elite status in the world of rimfire handguns. It represents a level of craftsmanship and performance rarely matched in its class, making it a treasured piece among competitors and collectors alike.
