Sold off all my Glocks and Sigs and a couple of AR's cause I was needing some money then realized for the first time in 20+ years I had no centerfire handgun. The only handgun I had was a mint condition 1968 S&W 6" 22 revolver. My first handgun ever was a 645,so now I was really wanting a 4566 but saw so many happy 3913 owners it was just up to which one could I find first. Visited all the local gun shops and only one had a good selection of used 2 and 3 gen S&W's. They had a near flawless 3913 and got it for 450 out the door, tax and all. I will have to say it is the best handgun i have
ever bought. The gunshop said it was a police trade-in. Question is, it is marked ( lazer etched I assume) from the factory on the barrel, slide and frame with the letters " B0012" will try to post a pic later. What police dept would this be from? Didnt know if anyone else out there had one marked this way and knew where it came from? Thanks.
