3913 vs the M+P shield?

[18DAI]

Another vote for the 3913, although I think the comparison is apples to oranges.

One model is metal framed, hammer fired, ultra reliable, accurate, has a great trigger, white dot sights that don't fall out, goes back into battery on its own and looks good doing all that.

The other is the "shield". Regards 18DAI

Okay, it's the 3913 vs the M+P shield! Can modern technology beat the hand craftsmen?

Neither could be described as being the product of hand-craftsmanship, and the Shield is really not modern in any sense I can think of since striker-fired handguns are nothing new, and polymer frames have been around for at least three decades. Somewhere I remember reading that S&W made a plastic-frame Model 39 or two just to see what they thought of it, and that was probably another decade or two before Glocks became a sensation.

Anyway, if my life was on the line, I wouldn't want either one, but if I had to grab one or the other, it would be the 3913.
