New to me 908 two tone
Picked up this little beauty at the local pawn shop last week. Was in just taking a peak and when I saw it in the case I had to have her. Hope to take her out for a test run and get her in the regular carry rotation soon. Don't know much about the two tone finish, but I really like it.

Nice looking gun. I sure wish I had not traded my 3913.

I have a 908 that I've carried for 3+ years now. Amazing gun - has never once even hiccupped on anything fed, trigger is very smoothe. You'll love it. Carries very comfortably. Two tone is very cool. Been looking for one, or 908S. Enjoy it!

The 908 had a long production run 1996-2007, however the two-tone was only available in 1997. Nice find.

Sharp looking gun and this from a fella who doesn't get excited about two tones. I've got a 908S and love the heck out of it. It feeds, shoots, and carries great.

S&W 908s, 3913s, 3914s, etc. are favorites of mine. I have a 3914 as my edc right now. I also have a two-tone 3913 NL. Great design with fantastic ergonomics and concealability. IF one can put the bullets where they belong on a badguy, it is all the self-defense handgun one is going to need. ......... Big Cholla

When I saw it I was drawn to it. When I held it, there was no way it wasn't going home with me. The ergonomics are what really set these guns apart from others. They just naturally point straight and feel good in the hand.

Nice find! I purchased a two tone 908 about three years ago and have not seen another for sale. One of my favorite 3rd generation pistols.

Nice catch. Anyone know if the two tone came with the Hogue grips from the factory?

I really like it. When I first glanced at it, I thought it was a 457 which was my first handgun. I really regret getting rid of that one a few years back. Probably the only gun I would rather have for every day carry than this...and maybe a CS9.
