Grabbed a clean 3914!

[half-lug]

Was in my LGS browsing, well actually picking up a Sig 938 I got on a trade. While waiting for the Staties to call in my confirmation, I spied a 3rd gen Smith a sittin' all alone in the corner of the used case.
A lightly used 3914, with two 8 round mags. Ambi decocker, and factory grey grips. Only the slightest bit of blue worn at the muzzle, appearing that it's holster wear.
She came home with me, $265.00 out the door.
Well off to the range, [actually on the way home] and boy does it shoot smooth!!!!! Digested ball, EFMJ and Hydra-shocks without a single hitch. Planned on making it my truck gun, but with that accuracy, and the way it feels, it might just move on up to carry status!!!

Here's a few pictures.

Great gun and great price....... take half of the money you should have had to spend and buy that gun a new pair of shoes.........

Hogue checkered wood grips..... a lighter shade to set off the blue gun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Considered a set, but they tend to make the grip thicker. It's so dang thin right now, and the checkering on the factory plastic still crisp.......Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

I've been using them since the early 90s on 3913/14s makes the 3914 look and "feel" like a chopped 39 ASP/Trapper from the 80s.......

That is a very nice looking 3914. They don't come up for sale all that often, especially at the price you paid.

Congrats.

Thanks. I had to jump on it. I NEVER see these guns available, so when the moment makes itself available.....
SCORE!!!!!!

 

[Atonal]

Nice gun and very good price. Good score!

Sorry half-lug, we have a "house rule" not posting pictures on the internet.....LOL shot myself in the _______ foot (I meant foot) when I made that rule one night at dinner....... LOL

Trapper ASP and a couple others chopped Model 39s in the 80's the inspiration for the 3913 and 6906s.

I actually know a guy with an ASP, but somehow recall it being built from a 469????

SCORE!!!!!!

I stumbled onto a 3914NL about five years or so ago. $300.00 out the door. It had only two Pro Mags, but I've since accumulated enough real magazines that it's not an issue.

Thanks a beauty and a great price. I still have a 3913.

 

[timn8er]

Half Lug, you definitely scored! Great gun at a great price. I need to get out more & see if i can be "in the right place at the right time" like you were.

Do you happen to know if Novak will install tritium tubes in their non-night sights? The Novak's that came with this beauty are non-nites, in perfect condition. Night sites would make this great gun even bettah!

 

[BAM-BAM]

Not sure call them tomorrow...... but they can be replaced ( the tubes) for about $50-60 for 3 ..... IIRC...... by Trijicon

Very nice! That is a good pistol at a very good price.

Thanks, ill call trijicon too!

 

[cobra357]

Just saw one posted local to me for $500.
Two mags no box.

 

[vigil617]

An exceptional deal, in my opinion. Congrats!

 

[TercGen]

Nice score!! That's a heck of a deal IMO, and it also has the rarer dark-gray grips. I also own an older 3914 with the flatter safety levers and they are some great guns. Hope you enjoy yours!

Does anyone know which model the dark-gray grips were originally intended for?

I'm thinking it might be more cost-effective to find a decent deal ($125 or less) on some already assembled Trijicons for this gun. And I think the dimensions might differ from factory a little due to the space needed to house the sight tubes.

Trijicon model SA24 will be the Novak version that will look just like your factory sights. You can sometimes find some deals on eBay or Amazon for these, but I often find the best deals of the moment with a little time & google.
