I bought a used S&w Model 41 several years ago after about a 30 year layoff from pistol shooting. (I had shot matches with one in the 1960's The accuracy was terrible with CCI Standard Velocity. A CS rep at S&W told me that the gun was originally designed for Remington Standard Velocity but was...
I haqave been shooting a (an?) STI 9mm Trojan for many years. Incredibly accurate, tight, smooth, great trigger. STI is great if you can find one. Grab it!
I forgot to add that I am no longer able to shoot a revolver accurately. The arthritis in my right hand keeps me from cocking the gun and I am all over the place double action. Just something to consider.

Sig P322 (not incredibly accurate but fun}
Sig 320 M17 9mm. (very good...

I shot the S&W 41 for close to 60 years but it got too muzzle heavy for me. The Accurate Arms target for the 1911 is just as accurate for me. I used the iron sights for about a year and then put the optics setup on it. If you want to shoot std. velocity ammunition you would need their reduced...
I just checked Midwayusa and they show Nosler 124 gr. jhp at about $73 and change for quantity 250. Personally, I wouldn't use plated bullets at magnum velocities. If you are ever in my area I would be happy to give you a couple dozen Noslers to try. I don't drive anymore or shoot magnums due...
