Best 3rd Gen. S&W Carry Gun

Well...One in 10mm Auto of course.
This little "1014" weighs in at 33.4 oz fully loaded and shares carry duty with my Shorty45 mk2. Actually the Shorty spends more time on my nightstand than on my belt
Cheers

6946...and maybe 4053 as 2nd pick for 3rd gens...
3953
I personally think the S&W 3953 is one of the best carry pistols ever made. I own three of them! My second choice on this list would probably be either the CS9 or 3913.

I voted 6906 because it's the only compact 3rd gen I own.
Compared to my 5906, 5946, and 4566, it's as light as a feather.
I'd rather carry the 8 shot .45 than the 12 shot 9, but the 6906 is so much lighter.
I think a 3913 would be better but I don't own one. So........
That said, I carry my SR9 (full size) more often than I do the 6906.
17+1. Thin. Light. More grip length for better control.
Longer barrel for more velocity.
100% reliable and a cheaper/easier to replace.
If I go sliding down the pavement, I'd rather it be my Ruger getting road rash, than my Smith.
Back to only 3rd gen choices. Mine is a 6906.
I'd love to have a DAO 30 or 59 series compact for carry, but haven't found any for sale at a price that would not put me on the losing side of a divorce case.

I originally said a 3913 and a 6906 as a close second..........and nothing has changed........but........an improved compact, light weight, high cap carrying 15 rounds is getting lots of shared holster time
