My MSE 4053 with checkering and no rail.

The 4040PD is one of my "unicorn guns".

I'm hoping that's the case. I'm not adjusting anything until I can rule myself out as the culprit. It's funny, after shooting the DA on the 40 for a few mags I went back to my 3913 and accidentally double tap'd on the first shot.

Thanks man. This one is unique in that they only made them in 1998. After that they had a rail.

I was trying to decide between 457 and a 4056 today. Ive been back twice to look at them and decided to buy today. While I was at the shop the guy asked me if I was in to 3rd gen Smiths and said he had a weird one that was coming off pawn today. He said the guy paid on it for 90 days then never...

I decided to pick up the 4053 TSW.

Stopped in to look again and they have a pre rail 4053 TSW now. Hmmm

I have a dilemma. Two local shops near me have third-generation Smith & Wesson autos in their used stock. One has a 457. This one would go nicely with my 908. The other has a pre-rail 4056 Tactical. I can get either one for $350 out the door. 457 as one mag and mailbox. 4056 has everything she...

Is it wrong that it reminds me of this one?

Well, I guess the important thing is that they will take care of me if it does. Thanks for the headsup.

Wow, that's the same year I shipped. Guess Shes a keeper. Thanks Bama.

See if you accidentally loaded 9mm in the mags. Guy next to me at an indoor range did that once with similar results. G19 and G23 he grabbed a loaded G19 mag. It cycled and shot.

That's a great pic. I had no idea this one may be older than I am. I agree, its extremely light. Bama, The serial number is 32J869 thanks for any info.

Very nice looking pair 'o humpbacks you have there. Ok, forgive my revolver newbniness but I found a stamp that says "Mod 38" on the metal frame in front of the cylinder that is only visible when the cylinder is open (sorry, I'm sure that has a name). How would I date this particular gun...

I have been wanting to get a J-frame since I sold my 638 a few years ago. Today I was browsing a small shop and spotted this one. I have no idea how old it is or anything about it really. All I know is its sexy with just the right touch of character. Not abused, just used. I had to bring it...
