Magazines ate absolutely interchangeable with the 952 and in fact, S&W recently did a production run of them within the last 3 years and the package is marked "3906/909/952."
I know that oldman10mm is a fantastic resource for findings and availability at gun shows -- he hits more shows than maybe anyone who regularly posts. Even still, I have to disagree, these 9-rd single stack mags are NOT difficult to find, in my experience.
Gunbroker always has many and I see them at my "every other month" gun show.
As to the 909 and the Value Line guns made after the 915/411, I don't care for them. Cheaper internal bits can (and should be) upgraded but the ugly cut of the slide makes them look blocky and they all appear to my eyes like a Chinese knock-off of a 3rd Gen. As if it seems like a 3rd Gen from a distance but a cheap copy up close.
Price isn't awful and the 909 is perhaps the most desirable of them simply because it copies the 3904, which isn't a particularly easy 3rd Gen to find. Whereas the 910 copies the 5903/915, I see no good reason to ever settle for a 910 when a 5903/915 is available.
These are merely my opinions, we won't all agree.
