The grip angle on the High Standards look weird to me. I have heard good things about them, but I don't believe they are in the same class as the Model 41.
What is not etelling is new 41s sell near their MSRP. I’ve seen exactly one PC Victory and it was in the high 500s, not anywhere near its MSRP."...you can get a competitive target pistol..." A Smith 41 is a competitive target pistol. An $868.00 pistol is not. Despite is being from Smith's Performance Center there's no comparison between an SW22, entry level, .22 target pistol and a 41 at $1,369.00 or $1,619.00.
Mind you, it depends on what competition you're shooting. Both of 'em really need aftermarket grips too.
Yep. I have shot both many times on the same line one after another. I appreciate the 41 but I still shoot the Victor.Quote:

High Standards have two grip angles, the early ones are a slant grip similar to a Ruger Mark series and the later Military grip--like a 1911 or a 41.
You really should shoot a 41 and a target High Standard at the same time.
Maybe I can try that logic with getting a sports car, since a small aerodynamic profile will save more fuel than large SUV.
High Standard made pistols with two different grip angles. One was similar to a Luger and the early Ruger .22 pistols. The second was like a 1911. A High Standard Victor is every bit as nice and accurate as a Smith 41. Just be sure to shoot standard velocity only in them. They won't hold up to the high velocity stuff.The grip angle on the High Standards look weird to me.

You will get every penny's worth of what you pay for an old 41. This is the last gun I would give up. Deadly accurate! thousands of rounds, just clean it once in awhile. You will love love it, IF you can find one.This thread is useless without pics!
