I don't, and that makes me sad.

It will be on my list, maybe at the top of it, when I am able to move out of this benighted state. Along with a 3914TSW.

Just because.

In this hideous, Godforsaken, anti-2A state, you take what you can get... ... and you don't even think about what you're missing out on or you'll probably go nuts.

I still shoot my "issued" SW40C. I kept it in retirement.
This was the exact pistol that Glock sued S&W over,,,,and won that lawsuit that almost bankrupted Smith & Wesson.
Mine shoots perfectly and is smooth and comfortable.
It is a heavy firearm because of the large magazine capacity.
That is the only minus for me these days.
It rides comfortably between the seats in my pick-up.

It's on my short list, only have a 3914 with a single sided de-cocker.

One of these days.

I have a 3914NL that I only carry occasionally, but it's a really nice gun.

I'd have to say that the 3954 doesn't count, as nice as it is, because it's functionally different than the 3914DAO. But, that could just be me quibbling.

Had one or two around here somewhere. Oh, there they are...






Thought that “double action” meant that you had to carry two of them.

Yeah. Don't rub it in. Looked unfired. Matching box and docs. Even had warranty card in there. I figured NYPD gun (I'm retired from there), but it wasn't marked NYPD.

No joke Jep... $400. Saw it with my own tired, aging eyes.

The current prices we're seeing on these guns are just crazy (IMHO). Glad I'm not in the market for one. Of course, the odds of finding one in MA are less than zero. I'll just have to force myself to be happy with my 3953 twins.

Last year, I was picking up my Ruger PC 9MM Carbine they I had waited about 6 weeks to come in. As I’m waiting for the NICS check to clear I see a mint, and I mean MINT 3953, in the box with three factory mags. Price was $299. Gun did not even look like it ever fired a round. Box was perfect with all docs. It killed me to walk away but I couldn’t justify spending a grand in one day. I know people are gonna day I should have left the Ruger but I have nearly a dozen 9MM handguns and did not have a 9MM Carbine.

But if I saw that gun on any other day it would be coming home with me.

This from a person who owns a pre-rail Model 3953TSW (not to mention many other scarce 3rd Gens)?!?

Hard to feel real sorry for you GaryS!

The pictures don’t bother me. I know what the gun looks like.

It’s the prices that make me cry.
