My new 3913

[sirgarreth]

My new 3913. Finally got to take her out and shot 40 rounds. Shot awsome! Love this little thing. I believe it might be replacing SW 1911ES. Accurate, lightweight, reliable (at least for these 40 rounds). Shot a can at about 20 yards and was able to hit it several times shooting at a fast rate. All the makings of the perfect carry gun. Only time will tell. I do have a 6906 and for some reason, I like the way the 38913 shoots better.

Thanks for the pic and info. Best of luck and enjoy your new toy.

Congrats.

Looks like a model that still had the flash-chromed hammer/trigger and the earlier "flatter" manual safety & slide stop lever, but with the slide machined for the Novak-style Low-Mount sight. Nice.

Thanks for the info Fastbolt. Did not know that. Now I gotta try and find magazines for it. Only came with one. They are expensive!! Also, gotta get a OWB holster. Already ordered a UBG Holster for IWB carry.

Magazines should not be that hard to find...even here in Montana they show up often. Holsters....many choices there as well, some will use a Sig 239 for the 3900 series guns.

Midway got a shipment in last week and they sent me text alert on my phone....since I still have a dumb phone I had to wait until I got home to order.....less than an hour.....SOLD OUT....so back on the list

My UBG IWB holster has been ordered. My Lobo gun leather OWB also ordered. Got some mags!! Was able to locate a few. Picked up 2 used in great condition. They still have four available in case anyone is interested. PM me and I will give you the info.

I had a similar experience, and replaced my 3" 1911 with a 3913. It seems to conceal well, yet is still sizeable enough to get a good grip on. I don't carry autos much these days, but when I do, that's the one I grab.

I love it. Since I now have or will have holsters, I can use the 6906 if I feel I need more capacity.

I was checking
GB today and see that asking price on 3913's seems to be down.

Congrats on your new 3913 !!

I have an identical 3913 that I've carried and used for over 10 years. Excellent cary gun. Accurate, reliable and looks good doing all that.

Friday afternoon I looked at a NIB example, unfired since the factory. $565 OTD. I may have to go back and buy it. Mine was retired last year for sentimental reasons.

As much as I like my 45XX series guns, I miss how flat and easy to conceal/carry all day the 3913 was.

IMO the finest single stack 9mm carry gun made. By anyone. Enjoy yours! Regards 18DAI

I must say 18, I'm a little surprised by this. You walked out on a NIB 3913. Please tell me the reason wasn't because you already have one. Must have been because the gun funds were down after walking out with the NIB 3914.

That is exactly why!
