Model 41 S&W Slide Stop Failure Rate
First topic message reminder :
I have two model 41's and both have had their slide stop fail with in the last 3 months. I have owned them for about the same length of time and in that time I have fired between 36-37K rounds through them combined. I guess the split on ammo fired is 45 to 55%. Is the failure rate at about 18K rounds an expected, or should I say, not an unexpected event?
Not a big deal if that is the norm. A $48 part and 15 minutes with a screw driver and repair is made.
Just curious but I thought it wise to have a spare after the first, hence the 15 minute comment and I have already ordered another spare.

My 1968 M41 is a tack driver and has never had a reliability problem. I wouldn't trade it for two new ones.

S&w 41 safety issues
What part did you put more bend in. My safety is causing FTF issues.Pinetree wrote:My 2017 PC M41 went back to Smith & Wesson under warranty for the same issue of the safety flopping around causing a FTF. It wasn't any better when it came back, and KC Crawford was kind enough to tell me the secret, which is to just put a little more bend in the spring steel part that applies pressure on the safety.
Been working great ever since.
