Finally my (almost) new 3914 arrived

[m1976]

Hi

Got my (almost) new 3914 today
My first pistol (back at 93) was 915. Later on had FN, Glock 19 and Sig P238.
After a lot of searching and thanks to the help and advises in the forum , I found the best EDC pistol (for me).

So thanks again for the help in choosing it, and here is my favorite son:

I found the best EDC pistol...

You could have just stopped there. Congrats!

I see you got a 7round flush fit mag.as part of the deal. They are great.

Get some Hogue wood grips on that baby and a Sparks IWB holster and you will have the best of the best ccw set up. Looks and feel like a mini-39 or ASP.

It's been my favorite EDC combo since about 1990.

In fact it is a 9 round flush fit mag, originally 3906 mag.
The extra round cannot hurt... now I'm looking for some kind of "extended rubber grip"

That is a beauty. Congrats..........

Congratulations M1976!

I have your gun's cousin, a 4014. The are they best of the 3rd gen's in my opinions. I have stainless 3rd gens and Blackened ones, and I really lean to the black ones these days.

Here's something I posted on another lucky 3914 owners thread today, in case you are looking for a holster as fine as your new gun:

Tim Thurner, of TT Gunleather in Montana, made me an incredible IWB holster for my 4014.

The price, and time it took, were both really surprising (in a good way!) for a fully custom holster. I've posted this before, but a friend of mine, that collects high end 1911's, and has several Sparks and Rosen holsters has switched to TT Gunleather and told me about it.

I highly recommend them.

The TT Gunleather holster is the one on the right with the black 4014. (The other one, with the 5906, is a Galco Cop Model OWB that I've had for some time)

They also have their Occidental Leather Stronghold series, which are made by a sister company to Tim's designs. These are usually in stock for immediate delivery. They show the 3913 and 3913TSW models in the drop-down window for ordering

Holsters

Thanks
I'm also considering "high noon holster":
"The Public Secret" - great holster
Public Secret w/clip

or "Mr. Softy" - great holster for great price.

I have three of the horsehide High noon holsters, one with the clip for my R-9 and the other two with straps for my 1911's. they are great holsters.
The 3914 looks very nice, I haven't seen one in person down here in southwest Florida, but sure would like to own one.
