I've primarily owned Glocks and seem to function well with long periods between cleaning. I'm just curious if a 3913 requires a little more love and care. Admittedly though, the fit and finish on a 3913 seems to leave a desire to give it more attention just because of the color. Black hides...

I got mine a little more than a year ago and was experiencing repeated light primer taps with varying ammo. Even after repeated cleaning and lubes, it was continuing. I sent it off to S&W and I haven't had a problem since it's been returned. The only thing I notice is assembly pin creep...

When I first got my BG380, I had constant light primer taps using various ammo. I cleaned and lubed with no relief. I shot past 200 rounds continuing to get the problem. I shipped it back to S&W and have not had any problems since it was returned.

Yep. Replaced the recoil spring and am not having the problem now. Thanks.

Recommendation taken. The Numrich site has a number of recoil springs (part 59). Which should I pick? Recoil spring (nothing specified) 16 pound 17 pound 18 pound 20 pound Thanks again.

Looking for advice on cause. I took my 3913 and my 3913LS to range the other day. Both are recent purchases of used guns. The 3913 is sweet. The 3913LS has been a bit of a hassle. I noticed the 3913LS jumping a lot more than the 3913 using the same ammo. The 3913LS looks a lot dirtier...

Great walk-thrus Have you considered just doing the work yourself? There are a LOT of great resources out there to do most things. I couldn't handle the smith times either and ended up getting parts to do it myself. I reconditioned my 3913 myself and it gave me a much better understanding of...

I called S&W and the repair time is 8 months!

I picked up a 3913LS for the wife but she is a lefty. I'm wondering if I can flip the magazine release to the other side? Also, any help on how to get or find a way to have a decocker added on the other side too. I thought I saw somewhere someone saying getting the part related to a 6906...

Thanks for the quick responses guys. I guess it comes down to personal preference then. ColbyBruce - I have the one in your top picture and just prefer the trigger and hammer matching to the slide. And I changed out the grip to the grey grip. Hahaha. I may change it back. My search continues...

I'm trying to get my hands on a 3913LS for the wife and noticed that some versions have a black trigger and hammer while other versions have a stainless trigger and hammer. Can anyone tell me which is older? If there's any difference? Does it really matter other than preference? Thanks.

I got them from Numrich and am having the same issue. I assume they are being stored open in the warehouse. I'll try the dishwashing liquid and a nylon brush.

I picked up some 3913 grey grips that need to be cleaned before putting them on the gun. I've used Hoppes 9 and a toothbrush but they still don't look great. Any help would be appreciated.
