Tell me about these pistols. Anything special?

[dontpanic]

All those pistols are nice, but the model 41 is sweet. Definately my next .22 pistol.

 

[Bisleyfan44]

BUY THEM BOTH.
NOW !!!!

 

[lee2]

To hit the target, maybe?

I'm just grasping here...

Jeff ,
you have become too cynical in your old age...

You are looking at the herd of a 1970's era serious bullseye shooter.

Added - My guess is he recently passed away, and family is clueless.

 

[HeatSeeker]

Well, I am pretty sure I can get couple hundred buck deal on it.

If you can get the 41 for a couple hundred bucks buy it quick. I sold one in very nice condition at HoCo show 2 years ago for a very nice price. If I knew you liked the S&W 41 you could have had it.

Not yet. But close. So she's starting the process. Old high school friend who wants nothing to do with them. There are more.
And he was a serious 60&70's bullseye shooter.
Gonna be some reloading equipment too. I'm going to take a look at things sometime next week.

Let us know what else you find. Either a S&W Model 41 or a High Standard from that era are great finds so far.

I need to see this is person...

The Clark classic shark tooth stippling.

I paid $1100 for my S&W Model 41 of that era. It came in a custom wooden box with a second upper and early 80's aimpoint. Buy it now. They are insanely accurate.

Wow. That's beautiful.

Can't see exactly what it is, obviously 1911, but I'm guessing either pre-war or WW II-era Colt. Family heirloom? It would be cool to know the story behind it.

Looks like WWI era, probably mid-teens. No scallops on the frame. Replacement grips. Still has a lanyard loop mag.

 

[BuildnBurn]

Out of everything pictured I would jump on the Mod.41. I went to the trouble of a HQL to buy one and its become my favorite pistol.

 

[28Shooter]

Both are very nice - classics! Jim Clark was an amazing guy when it came to accurizing the 1911 platform and the Model 41 was legendary right from the factory.

The 41 is SWEET!

Stupid, silly accurate!

Grandfather has one, was the first handgun I learned to shoot. Ridiculously accurate, although it is not a fan of lead nose ammo, jacketed ammo only.

 

[lowoncash]

The 41 is SWEET!

Stupid, silly accurate!

The definitive answer right there!

I might be a player. Pretty sure I can get an unbelievable deal.

I doubt that you would ever regret buying the 41 especially if you can get a deal. Mine will actually cycle .22 subsonic and shorts with no problems.


Buy them all.

BTW. check the High Standard to see if it has military marks.

 

[jmcisc]

My guess is a High Standard Military HD.

 

[jmcisc]

Grab the Model 41, especially if you can get it for a few hundred dollars.
I try to collect them and every one of the older ones are phenomenal target guns.

Got any extra slides you might want to sell?
