A pic of my 3rd gen Smiths

[Richymak]

I finally got around to taking a picture of them all together.
I really like them all.
From left to right: 6906 , 4566TSW , 3913, 4513TSW
The quality of pic isn't really great but this is what i have.
Thanks for looking, Rich

They are nice. I've been looking at 6906 or 6946 for a future concealed carry. Your 6906 and 3913 look similar. S&W's 4 digit numbering system really confuses me. I want a compact, all-metal (alloy OK) reliable weapon. I can't figure out if DAO is acceptable to me.

The 3913 and 6906 are nearly identical. The only difference is that the 3913 uses a single stack 8 round magazine, while the 6906 uses a double stack 12 round magazine. So the 6906's grip is slightly wider as a result. Either one is a superb carry weapon.


Great little collection there, Rich. Thanks for sharing!

Nice collection! I am looking to purchase a 4013TSW or a CS40. It basically boils down to a delicate balance between right price and excellent condition. It took me about one year before I finally purchased a used 6906. I paid $275 and is in excellent condition!

One has to love the market place where Willing Buyers and Willing Sellers negotiate! Only in the great USA!

What Rogue said,The only difference is the grip width.Like everyone says,the 3913 is the best 9mm for conceal but,6906 is just alittle wider in the grip.
I was carrying it last night in sweatpants with a IWB holster and I hardly noticed it.
The 4513 is pretty awesome too for conceal.I don't hear too many people talk about this one. It's only 6 shots but it's compact.Maybe it's just like the Cheif Special 45.
I have a sig 220 compact and it's almost identical dimensions.
The 3rd gen Smiths are really great.Sigs are also good and to me are very similar to 3G Smiths ,But they are pricey.
For Sig compact,I have that 220 compact and a p239 9mm.
To me they do the same job but just feel different.
Thanks for looking guys.I've been looking at this site for awhile.It helped me make up my mind about picking up these S&W. I don't care much for the new poly guns.And if I do ,they're a dime a dozen.These aren't.
I don't think any one but sig and some berettas and 9xx series tauruses are going to have alloy frames for now.
I'm also a lefty,so ambi controls are a must.
