3913 LS just broke out of jail
Just picked it up today.
I promised to post a pic, so here it is.
Only have one Magazine with it, so I need to find a couple more.

That is a beautiful gun. I really like the styling of it. What do you intend to use it for?
When you say "broke out of jail", what exactly do you mean? I realize that the state of CA has some fairly difficult laws for gun owners ( as does NJ where I live) but what exactly do you have to go thru that you make that statement?
Thank you
Rich

In ca when you buy a gun, the ffl has to hold it for 10 days before you can take posession.
We call that being in jail.

Nice gun. Mags are not hard to find if you are patient. They show up here fairly often, and Midway has been running sales on them now and then. Ebay too, but prices there tend to be higher.
I'll throw in the obligatory advice to do prophylactic recoil spring replacement, since it's the cheapest insurance you can buy.

yea they are great guns and everybody is telling you how great a 3913 is but what they haven't told you are ALL the down sides to it...DA/SA..how the heck can anybody get used to TDA?...it's nearly impossible to ever learn that pesky transition from DA to SA ....are you going to use it as a CCW?..forget about it..that single sided decocker makes the slide so damn wide you will never be able to conceal it comfortably...speaking of CCW...it ONLY carries 8+1 rounds...how you gonna traverse the urban jungle with only 9 rounds at your disposal? not to mention fending off zombie hoards with so few rounds....so if I have your attention I will take that 3913LS off your hands for you because I'm used to all these downside attributes because I carry a 3913NL everyday ....................................................................................................................................EDIT: I purposely refrained from mentioning how useless 9mm was on Grizzlys for fear of turning this into a BEAR thread

The 9mm makes a great bear gun if you can get close enough and have good shot placement:

The 3913 really IS a sharp-looking pistol. A wonderful departure from a mundane, across-the-line look.
Later.
