I am saving money up to buy a S&W 41 model still about $500.00 + short right now.Maybe next year i'b be able to buy one.

SR22's - I have 2 of them, one for each of my boys. They are actually getting to shoot them for the 1st time sometime in the next 10 days while on vacation at my friend's house.

They are great plinkers and a good way to establish good habits. If I haven't been to the range in a while that's what I used to start with before shooting anything more powerful. I probably should have never sold mine. They feel great in the hand and are just plain fun to shoot.

Only a Beretta 89 Gold Standard.

Ruger Mk II 22/45, and CZ 75 Kadet kit are on the wish list but I'm too lazy to actually buy.

Ruger Mark 1
Sig Trailside
Herbert Schmidt S/A revolver (it also has a .22 magnum cylinder)
Looking to get a 22/45 with threaded barrel and a can soon

I own a Ruger Mk II standard, A Ruger Mk II 5.5" bull barrel and a High Standard Victor. And a Beretta .22 Short Minx, if that counts.

I don't have a lot but I haved owned plenty. This is what I have now.
High Standard Sport King
High Standard Supermatic Citation
Ruger MKII tapered heavy barrel
S&W 63
S&W 41
S&W 617
S&W 2206

Currently I have a Walther P22, Ruger Wrangler and small derringer.

I’d love to have a Beretta 70.

How do you feel about the 41 vs a tuned Mark IV

In my opinion, the model 41 is the best currently available 22Lr pistol on the market.
It has the best out of the box trigger and it is very accurate.
They can be a bit finicky about ammo choice.
The Ruger Mark IV tuned with Volquartsen triggers and the Volquartsen bolt or bolt enhancement kit is more reliable and becomes closer to the 41.

If you want the very best accuracy potential the 41 is the choice.
If you want the most fun easy to live with and upgrade get the Mark IV.

My one and only .22 is a P250

Great DA to teach my recoil shy wife how to shoot

I do believe my Beretta 70s is the cutest pistol I own.
In addition, several MKII 22/45s, MKIII lite, a Ruger Standard, Beretta Neos, CZ kadet kit, a couple Rough Riders, 2 NAA revolvers, a GP-100, P220 and P226 conversions, and even a 22lr kit for my LC9.

IMO you could use the money you've got now to get started with a Ruger MK II/III/IV and then upgrade a bit at a time. You could be shooting while you're saving. Just make your Volquartsen wish list and get started.

Ruger Mark II with Volquartsen 6” competition upper, phenomenal shooter!
Walther PPQ 5”
CZ kadet kit for CZ75.

S&W 41

I debated on buying one of the examples that we got in a couple of years ago. Even brought a discussion to the forum under my old account. Ultimately I passed on it for purely cosmetic reasons (the bluing on that particular gun was 'less than acceptable' for such a spendy pistol) and one of our regular customers bought it instead. I got to actually shoot that very same gun in the spring of last year; it was very nice but to be honest it didn't do anything better for me than my Victory did on that same day. It may be a homelier design but the less expensive S&W certainly brought home its worth and value in spades. Shades of the old S&W22 are effectively dead and buried with Lil' Miss Vicky (no I didn't actually name it that...but maybe I should. It's been a sweetheart of a shooter, with zero PMS episodes).

That range session also convinced our customer to buy one for himself. He now has two Victory pistols (that I know of).

What makes the Model 41 more inherently accurate than the Ruger? My first thought is trigger, but once you go the Volquartsen route it actually is better imo. So, two fixed barreled guns how is the 41 more intrinsically accurate. Better barrel to start with? What?

I really hate when you post that gun rhino. I really need to get off my butt and thread one of my 87’s.

How do you like the Beretta? Is it the long barrel or standard? I’ve been thinking about getting one or an 87 Target, but can’t decide if it’s worth it or to just go with a MKIV.
