Default 3913 impulse buy with a twist

I noticed this 3913 on Gunbroker a few weeks ago and was the lucky winner. As pictured, it was missing the slide stop and recoil spring but it came with 4 magazines. That was a trade off I could deal with since I had a brand new low-profile slide stop and spring in my parts box. I had recently purchased a like-new G+G 6906 holster off Ebay for next to nothing so I patiently awaited shipment of the pistol. Upon arrival at my FFL, he pulled out a large rifle sized box containing a S&W MP15! I thought that was an interesting mistake for the selling dealer to make at the very least. Upon further communication with the seller, my pistol arrived 3 days later with a return label for the rifle. All's well that ends well, right? Well, the selling dealer was in California and my FFL said that it wasn't quite as simple as attaching the return label to the rifle and sending it on. He said he would probably just call them and buy the MP15 himself!

So YOU'RE the one that outbid me for that! I'm like you, had a spare spring and slide release in my parts box. I already have one, but I figured two couldn't hurt. Glad to see it went to a Forum member!

I guess I figured four couldn't hurt.

How is the fit of the 6906 holster? I'm too cheap to buy a new holster for my 3913. There seem to be plenty of used 6906 holsters for sale.

Since the slide and trigger guard contours are identical, a 6906 holster is always a good choice for the 3913 - works well with the LS/NL also.

I also had a bid on on this gun, but only to the point that I could have gotten it cheap. I really don't need another 3913 variant, so very glad that it went to a good home as well!
