3913 Lady Smith

[Cal44]

Well after all that, I ended up buying the 3913 LS.

The seller took a little off the price, and I bit.

Now I have to wait 10 days before I get the gun and can take a picture.

To me, the real benefit of the LS and NL variations is the single side safety/decocker. Which is why I changed out the ambi one in my pre rail 3913TSW for a left side only one.

I will admit though, the advantage is probably entirely in my head.

This does make a nice difference! I was lucky enough to come across a few of single sided controls and applied them to my 6904, 3913 and 3913TSW pre-rail. It doesn't make a huge difference like you said but I like it. That's another reason why I like my 3954. The LS comes that way so it's all good!

3913 and 3913TSW pre-rail.

And what is the difference between these 2 guns? GARY

I also live in California and have to deal with our anti gun laws prohibiting us from buying older guns or guns not on the DOJ roster of approved firearms. We can only buy non roster guns on a face to face sale.

California ex-pat here.
My friend who still lives there wants to buy a 5906 badly. But from my research (and calling seemingly every LGS from Palmdale to OC) it seems that 3rd gen Smiths are hard to find. And if you find one you best jump on it. Was told 5906s sell for between $450-600 depending on condition.
It killed him that I just bought a police trade-in 5906 for $300.

California. It is what it is.

You will no doubt love you 3913LS once your waiting period is over. On the subject of price I would say you did extremely well. I have both a 3913 LS also and a 65-5 LS and they are a pleasure to shoot. Snag free, easy handling, and they look great. I have yet to have anyone make a jest when I pull out a Lady Smith. Enjoy your new Smith.

Difference between 3913 and 3913TSW is mostly about fit and finish, heavier rails and maybe a touch nicer trigger. My pre-rail has 7 round capacity instead of 8 with a shorter grip. They aren't PC guns but were given more attention than the line guns.

There may be more to it but that's about all I can remember.

I wish wish wish my 6906 could be converted to left side safety like a LS.
