Looks like you got one like mine, left side slide lock and safety levers melted a bit for carry. Nice. Congratulations.

Loving My 3913 From the Looks of yours it's a earlier production Model (Like Mine) Check the bottom of your Grip for a small dimple if it has it it has the Newer Grips If no dimple the Grips are under a Recall & S&W will send you a New set I just recently recived My replacement Grips from S&W

Can any of you fellows who know this 3rd generation model (and others like the 5906, etc.) answer a question for me?
Are these ok to dry fire without snap caps? I don't mean just once or twice, but repeatedly as a practice exercise.
I understand it's a controversial topic but I can't seem to locate an official S&W directive on this for their 3rd gen types.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I had to "settle" for a 3914LS to get that result. I'm comfortable enough in my manhood to have you guys tease me!

Depends onow much you dry fire.....
If you pull the trigger 1000x a night in front of the TV, you'll want snap caps.
If you pull it a dozen times once a month, don't bother.
The snap cap just gives the firin pin something to transfer it's energy into. never a worse idea than having it support the entire potential energy of the hammer falling, when it was only designed to do so into a primer....
Snap caps are cheap. $25 or so for a half dozen. Pick them up. You can also use them for ball and dummy drills or for failures drills.

Did you buy that from a shop on the Cape? I'm just curious as there is a shop a bit north of Boston that has one listed.

I haven't scored a 3rd Gen in over 3 months now.  Looks like I now know who to blame!
Just kidding! I still say CONGRATULATIONS!

That one up north isn't even half as nice as Tim's. High price tag is due to 4 magazines, not due to condition.  If I didn't have one already, I'd probably have to consider it but I didn't even bother to have them take it out of the case. I'm still focused on the pristine Model 4006 they've got there, but I feel the price is still too high for a .40.
