My next "3rd gen" will be a SIG P239 if S&W doesn't start making 3rd gens again! Seriously- look at one. A very nice, all metal (alloy framed) compact single stack available with stainless slide or black nitron finish, and available in 9mm or .40 S&W.

Just about the same size as the S&W 4014 I'm wearing now (my baby!).

I'd much rather have a new "4th generation" S&W though. Another round of Melonite, de-horned 3914's and 4014's would be just the ticket.
