New to me 3954

[prproulx]

I just found this and bought it on the spot. Twenty rounds fired. Where can I get an IWB holster for it?

 

[Tarheel97]

Congrats! I'm jealous. That's #1 on my wish list.

 

[Stu454]

Sweet!

Kramer, Milt Sparks, Mitch Rosen and others make great IWB holsters.

There are a lot of choices; look around and you should find one that suits you.

Not IWB but mine feels fine in a Gould and Goodrich 3-slot pancake type 733-4516.

Cool, congrats!

Nice snag.

I keep my 3953 in a DeSantis OWB actually with a thumb strap. Fits great, but I'm looking for an IWB as well. Wish I could have found that 3954 before my 3953; just like that all business look. Nice gun, and carries awesome!

very nice 3954 you dont see them in my area.

 

[alexap]

Those are pretty cool, Neal.

Beautiful gun and great find!

I found a 4014 in similar condition recently and also bought it ASAP.

Tim Thurner of TT Gunleather is currently making an IWB for me:

Reinforced mouth IWB Holster

Normally he has a 4-6 month wait. But he's trying to build up some business doing compact 3rd gen's and is rushing mine.

Tim made an IWB for my good friend's new Ed Brown 1911 and it is awesome. This guy previously only used Sparks and also Rosen holsters and now swears by TT. I've been really impressed with Tim's communications with me so far by phone and email.

Good luck!

Those are pretty cool, Neal.

Send me a pm if your interested, I have several orders for these already.

Nice looking gun. They only made 154 of those, so they are pretty rare. I have a nice holster I had made by Ken Knull, that I never have used, because I ended up selling the gun. It's made of horsehide. I paid $110 for it. Will sell for $60.

Interesting to know. Where did that statistic come from? I have a 3954 and knew that they were offered for two years 1991-1992 but had no idea so few were made.

here is the stainless steel version (Al. frame) of your gun. the holster is a Biancchi model 100 professional.

i think he meant the holster.

I've been very pleased with a Kramer #3 for my 3953, but if I were looking to have one made right now I'd probably be giving Ray at Lobo another order.

Great gun by the way. You'll enjoy it.

I bought one of the 3954's when they first came out, and I contacted S&W to find out about it. That's when they told me that only 154 were made. Apparently they decided that the blued models weren't selling, and dropped them. I've contacted S&W to get a verification, but so far, haven't heard back from them. I know that they won't give out history letter, without a payment of $50, now days, so I don't know if, or when I will get an answer. If I do, I'll get back to you.

only 154 of the 3954s were made?! holy moly....they must be worth at least a grand each by now....unless that number is mistaken. i think it is, ive seen a few of those around in person and on other message boards....of course i could have just been lucky enough to have been exposed to "the 154" owners out of 80 million others......
