The 7-inch heavy barrel’s full-length underlug dampens muzzle rise, while the drilled-and-tapped rib lets you add a scope rail without gunsmithing. Vertical rear slide serrations and a high-polish blued finish evoke classic Smith & Wesson craftsmanship from the mid-1990s.
A target-width trigger with over-travel stop breaks at a clean 2 lbs, ideal for precision slow-fire stages. The internal hammer, single-action blowback system, and hand-lapped rails contribute to the Model 41’s sub-1-inch accuracy potential at 50 yards.
Walnut Palma-style grips offer a comfortable, consistent purchase, and the adjustable micrometer-click rear sight teams with a Patridge front blade for a crisp sight picture. The manual thumb safety adds familiar control for bench or bullseye work.
Serial prefix “UAF” dates this example to 1994–1996, marking it as part of the final polished-blue run before production paused—an attractive detail for collectors seeking period-correct examples.
