If you want tight groups, the Smith 41 should deliver them quite well. It's also a very easy pistol to field strip.
One downside to the 41 is that it can be very finicky about its diet, i.e., it won't cycle reliably with the same range of ammo that something like a Ruger MkII or a Browning Buckmark will digest. And like the other non-Sigma S&W pistols, the 41 has a magazine safety -- a "feature" which I, for one, would gladly do without.
