General

I’m considering picking up a Smith & Wesson Model 41 Performance Center and would love to hear your thoughts. Specifically, I’m curious about a few key aspects:

Performance & Accuracy

  • How does the accuracy compare to the standard Model 41?
  • Any notable differences in your shooting experience?

Trigger Quality

  • I’ve heard the trigger is a standout feature. How does it feel when shooting?
  • Is it something that can be adjusted easily, or are there limitations?

Handling

  • For those who have used it, how does the grip feel during extended use?
  • Any tips for maintaining it in top shape for competitions?

Overall, I’m looking for insights on whether it’s worth the investment for competitive shooting or if I should stick with the standard version. Your experiences and any detailed reviews would be super helpful!

I’ve had the Model 41 Performance Center for a few months now, and I have to say, its accuracy is impressive! I can consistently hit targets at 25 yards without much effort.

That’s great to hear, briggslinda! I’ve read similar reviews about its reliability. Does it function well with various types of ammunition?

In my experience, the Model 41 has been rock solid. I’ve fired over 2,000 rounds without any malfunctions. It really seems built to last!

I’ve only used the Model 41 at the range, but it handles beautifully. It’s easy to shoot and very accurate. I feel confident every time I pull the trigger.

I totally agree, kristinabaker! Do you find it comfortable to handle for extended shooting sessions?

Sounds like I need to upgrade! Is the price point worth it? I’ve seen pretty mixed reviews about the cost.

I think it is worth it, especially for what you get in terms of performance. It’s definitely a premium product, so expect to pay for quality.

But could it perform as well for a novice? I worry about investing in something that might be too advanced for me.

It’s actually quite user-friendly! Even if you’re a novice, you’ll appreciate how it handles. Just take your time to get familiar with it.

I got mine just for fun, and it has exceeded my expectations! The accuracy is great, and I’m learning a lot in the process. Best decision so far!

I’ve had the chance to shoot the Model 41, and I found it has excellent accuracy and feels great in hand compared to others in its class. However, it’s a bit on the pricier side.

16

True, but I’ve used the Ruger Mark IV, and I feel like the performance is almost comparable at a lower price point. What do others think?

17

I’ve owned the Model 41 for years, and one of its strengths is definitely the precision. I do agree with shane34 that the Ruger offers great value too. What is it about the Model 41 that keeps you coming back?

18

The Model 41’s trigger is something special! It really helps with those tight groups. That said, I’ve had mixed experiences with the Smith & Wesson customer service when I needed to make adjustments. Ever faced similar issues?

19

I’ve heard mixed things about their customer service too! That being said, how does the Model 41 stack up against the Browning Buck Mark? It seems to get quite a bit of praise.

Great point, emmajackson! The Buck Mark is also known for solid performance and a comfortable grip. It’s interesting how personal preferences play a huge role here.
