weaver vs weigand bases for Smith 41
Posted: Tue Nov 27, 2007 8:11 am
Hi Folks,
I took the plunge and have a S&W Model 41 on the way. It's factory tapped and I'm going to put an ultradot on it.
I see two options for bases, Weavers 62 base, or another made by Weigand. The Weigand is almost 5x the price, but the only obvious difference I can see is the finish, which is matte to match the pistol, and I don't care about it. Also the scant description of the Weigand base says you need to remove the rear sight, which is apparently not the case with the 62 base.
Anyone know a reason to use the Weigand base other than being pretty?
Thanks!
