Outstanding! There's nothing like having confidence in a gun and it's absolutely necessary in a carry gun. I love my 3rd gens and carry them regularly with trust and confidence. I would wager that this experience has brought your whole game up a notch. Tip of the hat to you for seeing it through and not just blaming the gun...after all shooting well is a skill we all continue to work on. Lord knows I could use some more practice! Excellent thread.

Have you considered a single stack series? There are lots who never like the double stacks. The only one I own is a 6946... the grip feels different on that one... the rest are single stacks.

The 3913 is a single stack with an 8+1 capacity. I also own a 6906 which is a double stack. The 3913 grip is odd as it seems to be longer in proportion from front to back than other handguns I own but the main problem I've had with the 3913, now solved, was the very heavy trigger break.
