Have to agree about 3914, wish I still had mine, I gave to my personal trainer some years ago, she needed it more than I did. Am now searching for a. m49 or 649, but as I look back on it, there were a lot of 3rd generation Smiths that were really pretty darn good. That single stack magazine 9 (3907?) with a Birdsong black finish, wish I still had that, that (while larger than the 3914) was a very nice flat carry piece, smaller than a 1911, good balance. I am not at all sure that the current lineup is superior to those 3rd gen pistols. Just my opinion.
