Comments:
The Daisy 41 is Daisy's
version of the S&W 79G. The S&W airguns were based on a
design from a former Crosman engineer and the actions closely
resemble the venerable Crosman Mark I and II. Daisy bought the airgun division of S&W
in 1980 and produced the S&W 78G and 79G as the Daisy 41, 780 and
790. In the Model 41, Daisy replaced the metal loading bolt mechanism of the S&W
79G with a plastic version and modified the cylinder piercing
mechanism. The revisions work OK, but feel flimsier than
the original S&W versions. Although the fit and finish of
the Daisy models is not up to the standards of the original S&W
guns, the performance is comparable. The accuracy of this
particular Model 41 is excellent.
Performance:
Measurements were made on
10/21/06 at a temperature of 75 ºF and 14' elevation. A ten shot string was fired
from a bench rest at 15' using RWS R-10 pellets (7.0 gr).
The highest velocity measured was 501 fps, the lowest was 483 fps
(average of the 10-shot string was 492 fps). A six shot string
fired with open sights grouped at 0.22". Click the thumbnail below to see a

Right Profile: |
 |
Front View: Power can be adjusted over a limited range by turning the screw at the back of the tube located just below the barrel. Turning the screw clock-wise increases power, counter-clockwise decreases power. |
 |
Right Side Markings: |
 |
Left Side Markings: Pulling the cocking knob all the way forward cocks the hammer. Unlike the S&W 79G and early models of the Daisy 790 on which this gun is based, the safety can be engaged when the gun is cocked or uncocked. Once the gun is cocked, there is no safe way to decock it. |
