Instruction Manual Cover
I have the obscure 422. Excellent bargain Smith from the late 80s These pistols wont fire without a mag inserted.
Work Fine in 41
I ordered these in order to have more magazines for my Smith & Wesson model 41 pistols. I have 2 of these and they are on the older side being late 80s or early 90s products. I was concerned about whether these would work but they all worked fine. I will say that the magazine loading buttons are on the small side but are still manageable. Quality is high and I have no complaints.
Works for me
Recently purchased these OEM mags for my new Performance Center 41. They work equally as well in my 1970 version M41. No feeding or mag well issues in either piece.
Perfect for newer production pistols
My Model 41 was made in 2001. This is the exact magazine that came with my pistol. When you press the magazine release, it practically jumps out of the gun, needs no help from me. Never a failure to feed. I highly recommend these for newer production Model 41s.
Not the quality that you would expect from S&W
I have an older Model 41 and I read in other reviews that they did not function properly. Both of them regularly jam and one magazine is difficult to remove. I need two more magazines, so I am determined to find a way to tune them.
They don't make 'em like they used to
Bought one of these for an older S&W 41 in March 2015. It feeds OK, but that's all I can say about it. It isn't drop free like the originals, can be a little difficult to remove and has a cheap looking plastic follower. I have had to put my finger into the ejection port a couple of times and push down on the empty mag to get it started so that I can then grab it and slide it out of the grip. Its not a tight fit, once I get it started it pulls out easily, but the older drop free mags with their steel followers sure are much better. As far as a recommendation goes, I guess I'd have to recommend them since I've never found any aftermarket S&W Model 41 mags, but knowing what I now know, I'd sure try to find some used older mags before I bought a new one again.
S&W Model 41 magazine
Magazine got stuck when inserted - had to remove grips to get it out. Blogs on this "issue" say to "squeeze magazine bottom in vise" to make it fit. Poor quality control!
