I tried many, many different types of ammo when I got my 41 and found that it really likes the Federal Gold Match, but I feel GM is expensive for .22 ammo.
I shoot a .22 for two reasons: it is cheap and it is fun.
So I set out to find an ammo that had the same formula as the Gold Match. I found that Federal Target, 40 gr solid bullet is almost exactly the same. This is the Federal part 714 target ammo (it will say 714 on the lower right hand corner of the box flap). There is one other Federal target formula that I know of but it doesn't work like the 714 does. And the 714 is less expensive than the Gold Match. I get mine from Ammoman.com where UPS shipping is free. Good luck.
