The Smith & Wesson Model 41 stands out as one of the best rimfire pistols ever made. Top-level competitors love it for its pinpoint accuracy in target shooting. Engineers created this semi-automatic pistol after World War II aiming for precision and comfort in competitive shooting. The modern Model 41 boasts a crafted, button-rifled barrel to boost accuracy. Users can choose between 5.5" and 7" barrel lengths, thanks to its clever switch-barrel design that fits both sizes on one frame. The gun's checkered target grips feel great in hand, while its sharp, factory-set target trigger pulls at 2.75 to 3.25 lbs. These features come together to give shooters a smooth and reliable experience. The micrometer click-adjustable target rear sight paired with an undercut Patridge front sight, gives shooters pinpoint accuracy. The Performance model also has a built-in Picatinny rail to mount optics. What's more, the Model 41 comes with a trigger stop that users can adjust to suit their needs. This pistol works on a blowback single-action-only system and takes a 10-round single-column detachable box magazine. With a grip angle of 105 degrees just like the Colt M1911, the Model 41 feels familiar to those who know that classic pistol. This makes it a top pick for precision shooting contests.
