3913 & 5906

[rwsmith]

The difference is simple

The 5900 series is a full size gun. I just read someone's post that said it felt too big for them. I have a 5943 that fits my hands perfectly and I'd say my hands are medium size. Of course my model is light because it's an aluminum frame, but it's still full size. Sorry my camera was stolen or I'd post some pictures. If you buy either, or both I doubt that you will be disappointed.

I'm pretty sure they've gone up in value since the OP posted in 2009. Wonder if he bought them?

Yeah, I am late too. I have an early 5906 that is a great shooter and still looks new. I would never readily get rid of it! I have the same in 4006 and a nickel 39-2...I enjoy firing them all.

Buy them both, HD and carry, Then go after these other 2 for variety.

Buy both, you need them. I need my 5906 and 6906 for the same reason: because I want them.

!! Notice the OP date folks - as this thread is over 5 years old, the decision was probably already made.....

If he hasn't come to a decision by now he probably never will!

You shouldn't need a picture to convince you to buy the 3913. They have an excellent reputation for a reason. Out of all of the non-PC, non-TSW smith third gens, that is THE one to make sure you have.
