Considering another Model 41...any thoughts?

[photoman12001]

Hello,
I recently sold one of my Ruger MKIIs via consignment. If I use the funds to buy another firearm the shop waives the consignment fee. I really don’t need another gun, in fact I’m trying to reduce my collection, but this Model 41 caught my eye. It seems to be in very good condition, just in need of a decent cleaning. I just wanted to get some opinions on it. The price seems good but I have not been in the buying market for quite a while. I know issues can vary gun to gun but wondered how examples from this time seemed to be in general. The serial number puts it at a 1991/1992 production. It comes with the box and three magazines.





I’ve got a Model 41 currently that I bought new in 2009. I has a threaded Clark barrel and I use it as a suppressor host. Some ammo functions erratically in mine but CCI SV works 100%. It’s probably my favorite gun to shoot out of about 100.

Price is good and from the two photos it looks in good condition. Go for it, good investment.

Well it would be a quick 200.00 if you sold it the next day or make a sister to the other nice one you posted.

I'd snatch that 41 in a New York minute if I didn't already have 2!

Worth every penny.

Yeah, I’ll probably just get it. The credit from the Ruger sale is $325 so it will be a pretty reasonable amount of extra cash out of pocket. I’ve got a few more Rugers up for sale too so hopefully they’ll sell soon to cover the rest of the cost. I just wish ammo was readily available. I’m going to want to shoot it. I’m already going through withdrawal and don’t want to shoot up my stock of rounds.

I just purchased a used but minty performance center 41 for $1000. I got 6 mags and a set of Hogue grips in the deal. At that price jump on it.

That’s a good deal. Have you shot it? Does it run well?

Pass info to me if you aren't. I'll take it!

I picked it up yesterday. After getting it home for a better look it’s in really good shape. It’s been shot but no significant wear. The shop told me the seller was originally asking $1100 and had just dropped the price.

Comparing it to my 2009 Model 41, this one definitely has a more “old school” feel: high polish bluing vs matte, wood grips vs laminate wood, roll marks vs laser etching. I’ll try to get some better photos later. Now I need to get out to shoot it...

The only down side is the older ones have a different slide design and are not covered under warranty! So parts can be had to find ! But I would have paid that for that one !👍

You got a great buy. When I sold mine, I got $1100 for it within 24 hrs. It sure is a beauty. Congrats!
