The 7-inch heavy, non-tapered target barrel sets this example apart from earlier 7 3/8-inch muzzle-brake configurations. It features a recessed crown and an under-barrel extension, with a full-length serrated rib to reduce glare across the sighting plane.
Target sights include a Patridge-style front blade and a micrometer-adjustable rear target sight for precise elevation and windage control. Rear vertical slide serrations aid in consistent manipulation.
Built on a carbon steel frame and barrel with a polished blue finish, this Model 41 is outfitted with checkered walnut target grips relieved at the heel for comfort and control. The single-action, match-grade trigger supports refined, repeatable shot execution.
Operating on a semi-automatic blowback system, the pistol offers a 10+1 capacity in .22 LR. It was manufactured in the United States in 1971 and retains the Model 41 family’s interchangeable barrel system for platform flexibility within that line.
