Darn you 3rd gens!!!!

[vista461]

I went to the LGS where I bought my 4003 hoping they'd have a 3913/4013/CS-series (unfortunately they didn't) , basically a compact model for next year when it gets warmer for carry. And what do I see besides the usual 4003's and 4006's? Some 4586's, now I want one of those too, but doesn't offer than much better concealabilty over my 4003. But I still want one.

Why must I like you so, 3rd Gen Smiths?

I need to win the lottery. LOL

I hear you brother...I got the itch too. Have a 645 and a 6906...want to get a 5906 and a 4516...but piggy bank frowns at me.

I want to find a very nice 5906 with the adjustable sights. I for some reason love the protected sites on that model and the square trigger guard.

I cant agree more I am obsessed with the third gens
Why not a 5903 with the alloy frame? I was about to buy a 5906 and I found the 5903 liked it soo much I bought 2

3rd gen Smiths are addictive. Prepare yourself and good luck!

I visited the Pensacola FL gunshow Sunday and there wasn't a 3rd gen S&W nowhere in the place. Saw one 1st generation and that was it for any all metal Smith and Wessons.

I visited a few gunshops on Saturday and 3G Smith's are getting scarcer around here. I'm addicted to them too. I bought a couple of 1076's and a 4006 in the last couple of months and still want more. Help!

I'm with you on the metal 3rd gen S&W's. I had a 4043, 4586, and 4563 stolen in February. I wasn't crazy about the DA trigger on the 4043, but I'd love to get the other two back. Meanwhile I still have a 457S and a CS45 that I found NIB six months ago. Both are 06 builds and make good OWB carry guns. Generally I carry a M&P c 40 which is a bit lighter or a CW40 which is a lot lighter, but the two 3rd gens find their way into my holsters often.

They can be down right hard to find too........

 

[Crash_18]

Nice looking gun you've got there, pace40! How many 4567's were made?

 

[franco45]

That 4567 is beautiful. I just put a 3913 on layaway and am already looking into other 3rd gens.

 

[pace40]

Nice looking gun you've got there, pace40! How many 4567's were made?

1236 according to S&N.

It's only an addiction if you allow yourself to be jolted out of your blissful state of denial.

5906, 6906, 6904, 4566, ?,?,?,?,?,?..................................................

 

[427mach1]

I, for one, am NOT addicted to the third generation Smith and Wessons. I could stop buying them anytime I want to. I just don't want to stop yet.

harder to find

 

[vista461]

You .45 guys are killing me, darn it. Anyone have the Powerball winning numbers for the next drawing? lol

Very nice, had been wondering if there were any XXX7s out there now i know there are, thanks for the pic Pace40.

I didn't know anything about third gen guns until I walked into my LGS and there was a used 3913 looking back at me out of the case. Asked about it, looked it over, took it apart, put it back together, traded my new Ruger LCR for it. My 3913 and I have been constant companions ever since. Why on earth did S&W stop making these? Oh I know, the plastic thing. I'm sure glad I got mine. Best ever made. MHO only. I carry it in a CrossBreed Super tuck that I did my own combat cut on. Never know I have it on.

 

[lanxandreads]

Well I'm cured of my 3rd gen addiction. After buying 6 in four months, I've decided it's time to concentrate on buying ammo for all of them now.

 

[vista461]

You'll be back. lol

And because I am a glutton for punishment, I went to the local Gander today. They had a new 457, although it was more than I'd want to pay at$649, boy did it feel good in my hand. The trigger was very smooth too.

They had some beat 5906 for almost $500 yikes.

I can definitely see a compact .45 in my future, probably lean towards a 4513 or 4516 though, for the stainless Hopefully I'll find one locally at a good price when I have some extra $$.
