I just purchased a NEW S&W Model 41 (22 cal.) I don't know WHY I bought it, except I had a hankering for a quality .22....so I bought it! I do have a question though.
For all of you that may own one of these...what ammo can you successfuly shoot out of this thing without jamming? I've tried Wolf match ammo, Aquila match ammo & CCI standard velocity. The ONLY ammo that doesnt jam at least three or 4 times per 10 rd. magazine is the CCI Standard velocity. I have 2-3 thousand rounds of high velocity stuff..but I have not used it on the 41 cuz' I've heard that it isnt good for that particuliar pistol. I have 2 bricks of Wolf match ammo, 3 bricks of Aquila match ammo...and they jam horribly.
Did I buy a picky pistol? If I did..that stinks! All this ammo and I can't shoot it in the best .22 pistol I own. Heck...I have a Ruger Mk1 that ALL it will shoot is CCI Mini Mags. The other HV ammo won't cycle the bolt.
Any advice or reccomendations would be greatly appreciated. I've only run about 200 rounds through the gun, so maybe there is a break in period for it...but DaNg! It's only a 22!!
