I am looking at buying actually trading for a 4013. It is a little high but the guy has 8 mags to go with and they adds up to quite a lot if I were to buy them serparate.
The gun is in excellant shape and he says he bought it new and has not even run a full box through it.
My question is when it was made. The serial number is vccXXXX.
I have the S&W handbook but it doesn't go this high. At least I couldn't find it. I made the mistake of buying the kindle version of the book. Wrong choice.
I have been lurking in this forum for month due a purchase of a 3913 LS last spring. I fell in love with the gun. I have smaller hands and I can handle the 3913 easily. It became my carry gun.
The problem is, like many others, my wife seems to be getting nervous about the way things are in the world and she got a fire arem ID. FOID in Illinois. We are both attending a Utah CCW permit class so we can carry in other staes while we travel.
My next mistake was opening up my gun safe and telling to pick the one that fit her hand and she can easily work the slide.
This sent me looking for new pistol. I am partial to the .40. I found the 4013 and want some background on the gun before I buy.
It is a compact, 8+1 is about all I know. If I read the book right it looks to be mfg after 1998. I figured this is place to go for answers.
Sorry for the wind but I thought some background might help.
