I have been carrying S&W 3913s for more than 16 years. First as a duty backup to my S&W 4006 and now for the last 4 years as a CCW. I replaced the hammers on all three 3913s that I own with spurred hammers from Model 6906. The hammer strut does have to be changed to the original 3913.

I have never had a problem with 'snag' by the spurred hammer; but then I carried Colt 1911s concealed for 20 years prior to the Smiths. I have always used a CCW type holster with no retaining strap. I have made several very difficult shots out of the holster by thumbing back the hammer before the shot. Given enough time it works great. ..... Big Cholla
