A S&W model 41. Very accurate but very sensitive to what you feed it.

I have one that is probably not near as pretty as yours and it shoots very well. Like you said though, it is a bit picky about what brands feed and eject well in it. Surprisingly, the cheap brands of TAC 22 do well in it and some of the more expensive pistol match offerings do not.

I suspect that spring changes could affect that, but I haven’t tried nor do I care.

Reference model 41, I have tried several different springs and with that I finally settled on federal target grade performance which is reasonably priced. Some of the cheap Remington rimfire works but is not reliable.

This is a S&W model 52 (9 mm). I have never shot tight groups with it, maybe because of the short distance between the two sites.

I have a S&W 52-2 in .38spl that is one of my favorite handguns to shoot. I also have 2 S&W model 41's, a 5" and a 7 3/8". I don't like how the S&W shoot so I will shoot a Ruger MKII target or High Standard Victor for .22 stuff.
