I work in a Pawn Shop and carry a 3rd gen most of the time, Normally it's ether my 5943 or my early pre rail TSW 4013 every day. Carry both in a Don Hume level 2 duty holster. Will carry my 1066 on occasion also as well as several other 3rd gens I own but the 5943 is the day to day workhorse. With the alloy frame my 5943 is as light as a Glock shoots accurately and is dead nuts reliable. It's the pistol I want on my side if it ever hit the fan in the shop and I have to trust something with my life!!
