S&W 3914
I am considering purchasing a S&W 3914 for CCW. Could anyone tell me the dimensions and weight of the gun? How accurate is yours?

Do a search for 3913. It's the same gun with a stainless slide. They are the best single stack 9mm carry pistol made by anyone at any price.

I owned a 3914 nearly twenty years ago, like an idiot I sold it to buy other guns. I now own a 3913 which, as previously mentioned, is the same gun, only with a SS slide and matching silver color alloy frame. I haven't seen a 3914 for sale in years, they are pretty rare.
In the years since I've also owned a Sig P6 (225), a P239 (in 9mm), a Kahr CW9 and a smaller PM9....all well-regarded, single-stack 9mm compact pistols. In retrospect I should have kept the 3914, it's likely the best of the bunch. That's why I recently snapped up a used 3913 I found sitting in a LGS.
These days you can probably get a smaller, lighter, more easily-concealable 9mm CCW, but you won't find a more reliable, better made, nicer shooting and elegant small single-stack than the 3914/13. Truly a great gun.

1000 reason why the S&W 3914 is the best auto
Markfi,
Grab it up if you can.
I believe it's been said:
One of the best Single Stack 9mm's ever made!
My 3913NL sports a Performance Center barrel chambered in .356 TSW
Regards,
BM1

Mine weighs in at 25 ounces and is everything it's cracked up to be.

I have a LEO trade 3913 and like everyone else agree it is the best single stack compact 9MM out there! Had a Kahr and it was very finicky to feed. The 3913/3914 Smiths with reliably eat any good ammunition and with outstanding accuracy to boot. One of the few DA/SA autos which prints the first DA shot in the same group as the SA shots that follow. I could never do that with my Kahr or the stupid Glock 22 I once owned.
My wife uses the 3913 as her CCW choice a good bit of the time.

The Best
Buy it quick. As stated, the best carry 9mm pistol ever. Wish I would have bought two back in the 1990's when I bought mine new. I have a dozen other options for my carry/ccw gun, and I continue to carry my 3914 because it is reliable beyond belief, shoots to the sights with most factory ammo, is light, compact, smooth..........enough. You get the point.

Great guns. The only reason I don't carry it all the time is that I have a CS9 and a M&P9c. In fact all of the 3rd generation semi autos are great.
