This Model 41 features the 5.5-inch heavy-profile barrel with a full-length, serrated top rib, a hallmark setup for steady sight alignment on a target pistol. The fixed-barrel, single-action blowback design contributes to the platform’s well-known emphasis on consistency and control.
The sighting system is set up for precision: an undercut Patridge front sight pairs with a micrometer-click adjustable rear target sight. The slide carries rear vertical serrations for secure manipulation, and the pistol includes a manual thumb safety.
Construction is all-carbon steel with a uniform blued finish across the slide and frame. The gun is configured for a detachable single-column magazine with a 10+1 capacity in .22 LR.
Ergonomics are addressed with factory checkered wood target grips that incorporate a palm swell and relief cuts. The pistol is marked "SMITH & WESSON HOULTON, ME USA." Notably, production of the Model 41 reportedly concluded in 2025, underscoring the final era of this classic target model.
