Clark barrel for Smith & Wesson 41 (opinion)   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #1167 of 2339 |


I have a Smith & Wesson 41 (5.5" barrel) with a Millet Red Dot
optic. Before the install, the pistol was perfectly balanced. It
seems a bit muzzle heavy now (scope moved as far rearward as rings
allow. The clark barrel looks promising. Any thoughts? Thanks,
Randy
