Found myself with 1hr to go before the range closed and knew it takes 20-30min to get there. I was a mad man.

Anyways....

She works! See other threads by me for pics.

I only had time to put through 100rds. 50 Speer Lawman 115gr and 50 Speer Gold Dot 124gr +P. BTW, is +P OK in this gun- no biggie if it isn't. I'll switch.

I think I can get use to the DAO trigger. It stages nicely with a pretty clean break.

Haven't shot a single bullet in 9 mos. I was rusty and there was a bit of flinch. I'll borrow a buddies .22 to help sort that out.

No issues of any kind- didn't expect any...but always nice to know you don't have a lemon.

I am only on 5hrs sleep, but I am confused a bit.

I thought it was 8+1. Therefore I'd load 8rds rack the slide then I put in another bullet to 'top off'. When I went to feed the magazine- the tip of the bullet caught on the end of the chambered round.

Now- in retrospect the mags are new and the 8th bullet was tough to get in and probably sat up on a slight angle...at least- this is what my thinking is now.

But- to clarify...I should be able to have one in the chamber then top off the magazine, correct?

I need to clean her up now and go see the initial replies regarding holsters. I had a Milt Sparks Versa Max 2 for my HK that was pretty comfy.

Get in touch with Greg Kramer (Kramer Leather) and look into the #2 IWB for a 3913. I have one as do a number of other members and they are FABULOUS! Especially if you enjoy the comfort of your Milt Sparks.
Let us know how it turns out!

Hi Dean_407,
I think the TSW models have a shorter
mag and grip than the standard 3913/3914's.
The TSW models magazine capacity is 7 rds
+1 in chamber.
