Bullseye.
Took my 41 to the range and the Mag's worked good. Still have to push
in on the latch for them to go. Thanks again Bob

Thanks again. How do you remember all this information? Must be a
lot younger than me. Bob

Thanks Bullseye. Took it down to my shop and did like you said. Magazines
work now just a little hard to insert. Push the button in and they go easy.
Maybe need to loosen the nut up a turn or two. Noticed the catch had ben
filed or worn. That extra spring was what had me confused. Bob

Bullseye thanks. When I took the old one out it had a spring over the threads. That's what got me confused. And that don't take much. The owner before me must of had trouble and added the spring. I've had it at least 20 years and no trouble until got some new magazines. Looks like it had one extra s...

Just ordered a new mag catch and spring for my M-41. The new spring
is to small to go over the threads on the catch. It's the right part number
at least that's what's on the bag. Is the spring supposed to go over the
threaded catch that the mag nut screws on. Thanks Bob

Ps it's a Smith m 41

Checked the magazines in another S&W M41 today.Acted just like
mine they click liked they are locked but push up on the base
and they fall out. Sent S&W a e-mail. But don't expect much.

Checked the thickness of the newer and old ones. Newer ones are 10ths Smaller. I'll try them in another M41 when I go to the range. Took some pictures but They didn't turn out good enough to tell anything. I think the 10 ths is my problem. Newer ones has the slot cut longer around the front. Think t...

That didn't work. Looked at the magazine catch and it looks worn.
No screw on it to take it out. Mag clicks like it's locked but let
the slide go forward and the mag drops out. Think the new ones
are thinner than the older ones. Could be just a bad batch of Magazines.

I have one that holds four. It has a drawer to store parts. The lid
opens up and snaps open. Scope will mount in the lid when it's open.
Don't use it. Like the padded cases better. It's just big and awkward
to carry. Long gone friend and shooting pal gave it to me.

Bullseye. I have four magazines that stay locked in the gun good. And three of the newer ones that the magazine falls out after the first round is fired. That's why I thought the Mag catch is bad. Looking at the Mag's that fall out and can't tell any difference in them. If I hold the grip with Upwar...

S&W magazines falling out. Just got four mag used for my M41. Three of them fall out when shooting. My older ones work good. Think I need a new mag catch. Looked at the catch it is shiny on the top. Like it's worn. Best place to buy a catch and how hard is it to replace? They are newer ones without ...

My 41 is better off hand shooting. Slab side has a 2x Leupold and the 41 has a TC 1.5x scope. Off a rest at 25 yards they are about equal. It's what you want to plink or target shoot. Ruger is a good plinking or hunting gun. But I'll take my 41 for target shooting. It just feels better. Could be I s...

Mine likes CCI st velocity. Also shoot Win Dyna Points. They are cheaper and accurate as I am. Checked some Win with a 24" barrel. They averaged 1060 or 1050. So that should be standard velocity.
Ruger slab side likes the Win's but get a few duds.

Mine shoots cci st vel good and about every thing else but wolf. It will not extract or eject wolf have to manually work the slide with wolf.
