SW model 41 DOM
May make an offer on a nice(98%)no box Smith and Wesson 41.
SER# A599161.
I read a post stating the pre 1990 models are superior to the later ones.
Can someone help with the DOM and/or approx. value of this one?
Thank You.

Will someone tell the DOM of a SW model 41 SER# UED8445.
Thank You.0 -
The "A's" are more highly regarded, by shooters and collectors. Than the later production guns, with the Alpha prefixes. Weather this is valid accuracy wise, I don't know? Definitely would get more money for one, from a collector. If they were in equivalent condition. 0 -
I purchased one of the A model 41s about 2 years ago.
Wood mint.Blueing about 95%.7inch 1 magazine.
paid $800.
Today I found a mint(no box) TAR ser# model at my local gun shop.
7inch 2 mags.
$670 out the door.
I am inclined to get it but would like to learn what I can about the TAR 41s first.
In the past I have foolishly moved too fast on what seemed like a good deal only to find out later that it was just an okay deal or worse.
I would appreciate any comments.

I would consider it, a good deal. Check out what they are actually selling for, on the auctions. Or on the Rimfire Central site, (buy and trade board). At that price, it's going to go quick,IMHO.0 -
Any chance you could test it before buying? If it's a really good price at a store, I'm thinking it has issues or the original owner would have kept it.
I like the really old ones, true craftsmanship.
added Ask them to ask the owner about working with you, even if it's only a chat about the weapon. I got my model 53 Jet at "I should have been wearing a mask price" because the owner knew I was a shooter not a collector.
In your current case it appears likely the owner just wants to sell quickly (lower price), maybe he needs the money or he just can't shoot due to health issues.0 -
rufe-snow...I have been following the ones that have bids on the auction side.
The bids vary a lot with most not reaching the reserves.
The buy it now prices are much higher than the bids in the few that ended.
charliemeyer007...I ask.No where to test fire it there.
Its on consignment.
The store owner said the seller is in his sixties and has recently sold a few other guns there.
The seller also has for sale there a nice 8inch blued Colt Python.0 -
The only functional difference is the cocking indicator, which was eliminated around 1978. (Guns with cocking indicator were either "no prefix" or A series.) Not really needed, but some folks like to be able to look at a gun & know if it is cocked or not.
I think that the only "cheapening" of the M41 was the recent introduction of "laser cut" checking on the grips. But, hand fitting & finishing are still as good as it gets for a regular production competition .22.

The one at the shop and my ser# A599xxx 41 both lack a cocking indicator. 0 -
Planned on buying it this morning.
It sold last night.
His Python also sold for more than the 1995 asking price.0 -
Hi...My A588xxx also has no cocking indicator. Two years ago I paid $1200 for it. Has two 7in. barrels, one with a 2X Burris scope, three mags, original box,papers and tools. Thought I did good at the time. BT 0 -
Hope you enjoy yours Riomouse911.
