I guess persistence pays off, took the 41 to the indoor range for a little shooting, took along some CCI SV again, loaded up a magazine and it ripped right through it, well how about that, ended up running a hundred rounds though it with no problems. I'd given it a general cleaning after the last outing including a good scrubbing of the chamber. I'm a happy camper as I've got a couple of cases of this on hand.:bthumb:
My 41 seems to be fine with whatever I feed it, (something must be wrong That being said I shoot almost exclusively CCI Standard Velocity and have no problems. Since I am shooting targets at 25 yards off hand there is not a lot to be gained by shooting costlier ammo.

Through some quirk mine would shoot SK, Eley, Lapua etc. but was failing to eject and feed another round with CCI SV, I'd run several hundred rounds of CCI Minimags trough it to "break it in" but until yesterday no joy. I'm very happy now.:bthumb:
I shot CCI SV in my 41 for several years and the pistol functioned flawless. Last 2 cases of CCI SV are nothing but trouble, stovepipes, slide coming back partially and putting the empty case back in the chamber. Tried oiling the ammo like Clark Custom Guns suggested and it runs perfect again. Tried Aguila SV yesterday which has a MV of 1150 and it ran perfect although the accuracy was not as good as the CCI. I think CCI has made a change to the SV that is causing this problem.
More important, will CCI-SV work in your new M-41?
They do very well in mine, but mine is not yours!
Since you say CCI-SV doesn't work in your other .22lrs, I suggest erring on the side of caution and running a box through to see if it works in your M-41 before committing to a power buy of the stuff.
One thing I have found, is not all batches are the same. Some hotter, some cooler.
The hotter stuff runs fine. Also have some in dark blue box's and some lighter blue box's. But otherwise marked exactly the same.
