3913 Value

[Newbomb]

What's a nice condition 3913 worth? Here are some pics. I could possibly trade my XD9sc that I paid $430, plus $30 in gas to get this 3913 with 3 mags and fobus holster. I'm not worried about value but it's going to be probably over $500 I'll have invested in it. My wife really wants it, the XD9sc is too snappy for her, I think it may be how high the barrel sits.

Locally the 3913 brings $450 to $475 in nice shape. Maybe a few dollars more for LNIB with box and docs.

The ones at last weekends gunshow ranged from $400 to $475.

I'd advise you to get it. When momma's happy everybody is happy! Regards 18DAI.

I have a couple of ladyfriends who really like the 3913. The grip ergonomics seem just right, the slide isn't difficult for them to operate once they learn the correct push-pull technique, the magaznes are easy to load, and the controls operation is simple and straightforward. Plus, they like that external safety/decocker. Beyond that, they really seem to shoot them well and find the recoil not at all objectionable. I actually gave one of the two 3913s I had to one of them because she wanted one and couldn't find one. Seemed like the right thing to do. My other one is set up with a Hogue exotic wood grip as a 'target' range gun. It's the only 9mm I own now. They are sure accurate little guns!

I see 400-450 as the going rate for a decent one these days but finding them is the trick. I almost got a 3953 a couple of months ago for $400, which I thought was a bargain.

If I wanted it I would not let a "few" dollars decide it for me. They get hard to find reasonable some times. I have two and would like to trade one of them to a 3953 or maybe buy one. Great little pistols.

I just got a 5943 w/2 15 rnd mags. 2 shiney? spots. End of bbl and under trigger guard from holster wear. Internals 95 plus condition. Paid 300 + the states 6.25 % ripoff. Don't think I did tooooooo bad..: )

While were on the subject, anyone care to price a great condition 3913 NL (No logo), with box, 4 magazines, and that's been worked over by Teddy Jacobson? Polished and jeweled internals, re-crowned and polished muzzle for greater accuracy, trigger work, and street reliability package; receipts for all work are available. Just curious what I should ask if ever I decided to sell.

I would love to find a 5943, seems to be ideal with ammo vs weight.

All that work has ruined the value, but I'll do you a favor and take it off your hands. Seriously, that one sounds like a keeper!

Oh I don't plan to sell any time soon, but it would be nice to know a round about value for the piece.

 

[Newbomb]

So the census is to do it? How good of condition does it look? I'd say 98%?

 

[ShoeShooter]

I'd pay that in a heartbeat. Great guns. Good reputation, conceal well, shoots good, 100% reliable. What's not to like?

I DO have one, actually a NL, plus a CS9 and a 3953. Ain't letting go of any of them.

 

[frank_drebin]

You know the answer.

 

[Newbomb]

The XD was my wife's first gun she bought. Oh well, I still have my XD

 

[Squibb]

What are you waiting for? Road trip!

 

[frank_drebin]

There's a 3914 with a BIN of $390 on there now.

 

[Newbomb]

I'd like to find some LS grips for it.

Brownells is your friend, I put some on a 3953 I had to be different.

 

[Newbomb]

They're out of stock.

I love the 3913 but the grip is too large for my wife's hands, so she carries the Ruger LCP. I don't think you'll regret getting the 3913. My father is a retired LEO and he gave me his unfired 3913 a few years ago and I really enjoy shooting it!

 

[Newbomb]

She just handled the new Bodyguard .38 revolver at the LGS. She's in love with it. So maybe I'll get the 3913 just because and buy her the BG38.
