I have both and have been trying for years to decide which is the better of the two for my uses. Maybe in a couple of more years I will have arrived at a definitive conclusion. Until then, more and more field testing.

Well, I have 'em both (three actually, 3913/3913LS & 6906) and I'll be happy to share my perspective with you..

If you need a firearm for home protection, or even if a wider 9mm pistol works for you for cc then the 6906 is the winner, no question.

I use the 15rd 5906 mags w/the S&W adapter and the 6906 offers a capacity of 15+1 (vs standard 12+1) and the "feel" of the 6906 w/the larger mag/adapter is actually better than w/the standard mag, (for me).

If you want "thin" for daily cc, and limited capacity is no problem then the 3913 or 3913LS would be MY preferred choice between the two.

I actually find the LS TOO thin for my hands, and my cc choice is a CS9. (or CS45), but my wife loves the sucker and won't let me part with it.... Go figure?

All three are excellent, absolutely reliable and self defense accurate choices.

IMO all 3rd gen Smiths are fine pistols, underrated, under appreciated, and fantastic bargains in today's market.

If I were going to buy one or the other I'd opt for a nice 6906 first, then if you were not completely satisfied save up for a 3913 (or LS), then you have the best of both worlds.

Just personal opinion, no offense to those who might disagree..


Best Wishes,

Jesse
