Bianchi #13 Scorpio S&W 9mm Holster Question

antilamr · Jul 16, 2019

I'm looking at a vintage Bianchi #13 Scorpio S&W 9mm Auto holster (shoulder holster rig) and am wondering if my 3913 would fit or if the holster would be a little on the large side? It comes with the Bianchi #242 magazine holder which is stamped ".45 AUTO/9MM" and also the #240 cuff holster. After doing some research I believe the holster was made to fit a M39?
Anyone have any experience with this holster/rig and in particular using a 3913 size pistol in it?

What would be a fair price for one in good condition?

We molded all the Smith 9mm holsters to the 59 because it was the largest; especially that big hunk of a slide stop. A 3913 is a bit dainty next to these especially with the bobbed hammer. Yes, it could be a bit loose in the 3913. The leather is soft enough though that there will still be a reasonable fit despite being molded to the bigger pistol. The mag pouch is so-marked to indicate it is single stack. If it is in good condition, I would compare it to the cost of a new, comparable shoulder holster with all those accessories attached; because I look at performance vs. cost. And even a used No. 13 then represents good value. The harness itself is a rather uneconomical item to build!
