Hi Folks,
I'm looking at a used 22 pistol and was hoping to get some advice...
It's an old, probably from the 70's, Smith & Wesson model 41 ( S&W M41 )
I know it's missing all box and paperwork, comes w/ 1 mag.
The guy is asking $400, although I might be able to talk him down a bit (maybe even $350).
So what should I look for when I examine this pistol? I'm not familiar at all with 22cal pistols but know my way around many different larger cal semi-auto pistols.
Any tips on how I can tell how 'used' it is? Any tips in general? Does the price sound ok?
I'm mainly looking for a good plinker, something to hone skills w/ cheap ammo, and something that I could use later as an entry level competition gun if I end up moving that way.
What do you think?
Thanks
