Yes sir deanodog, you got that right! Starting a 3rd gen collection is like eating potato chips. Betcha ya can't get just one. Fifteen months ago I had one. Then I joined the forum and now I have... more than I can handle with both hands.

Haven't you heard that S&W Semi-autos are junk? Just send that terrible collection there to me to take it off your hands. Really you have a nice start there. Oh by the way, once you catch the 3rd gen bug, you can never have enough of these great pistols.

Nice pics, I need to add about a half-dozen more to my 6906 & 5906 before I feel like "complete" is near. 4006 is next, then a CS45.

It wasn't long ago that I didn't know what a 3rd Generation S&W was.
Now, we're budding 3rd Generation aficionado's with 3 in the collection: 3913LS & 3913NL, 4563TSW. A nice 4566 is on my wish list. And I haven't even started in my favorite caliber, the 40 S&W.

Twins arrived today
It didn't take long after the wife bought her 3913 Lady Smith for me to get the 3rd Generation bug.
First on my wish list was a 3913NL. Not only do I like the cool lines of the 3913LS & NL better than the regular 3913, this will let us share holsters. I bought one from the original owner, a couple in Florida. The wife bought it for herself, but then the husband carried it undercover for a number of years in Miami. Wouldn't it be interesting if if could talk? The finish shows evidence of being carried a lot, but I bought it to be a range & training pistol for newbies, so there's no need for it to be pristine.
Next on the wish list was a 4563. It replaces my Dan Wesson CCO as my 45 CCW. I found a 4563TSW that's a beaut - the finish is like new every where. What tops it off is that it's got a very smooth trigger. I'm 99% positive that it's had a trigger job which is a nice bonus.
While we were at the FFL picking up the two S&W's we also picked up a new DiamondBack DB380. Seems like a decent pocket 380 -feels much better in the hand than the other pocket 380s, except for the Sig P238. Quite a few accessories for it at the DB web site ranging from Trijicon night sights to a comp barrel. It will be interesting to see how well it works.

Nice collection Denver Dick. Like a fool I sold my 5906, but two weeks later I stumbled onto a 4566 TSW. Hard to believe that For less money than the latest, greatest plastic wonder gun you can have one of these beauties. I wouldn't mind adding a 6906 to my collection for carry purposes.
