NEED INFO ON 908 VS 910.

[trailblazer02]

can someone tell me the differences between a 908 & 910?

i'd like to start a collection of this series of pistols while there are still some around.

thanx,

The 908 is a compact stainless/alloy frame single-stack magazine 9 mm, the 910 a full-size blue/alloy with a double stack magazine.

Think 908=3913, 910=5904, don't forget 909, 410 and 457.

Think 908=3913, 910=5904, don't forget 909, 410 and 457.

Or the 915 and 411 (pre 94 versions of the 910 and 410).

HG:
i just bought a 3913 last week so, please tell me the relationship between the 908 & 3913. as well as between the 910 & 5904.

i'm also interested in a 6906 eventually.

The 908 and 910/915 are budget versions of their 4-digit brethren.

 

[trailblazer02]

ok, is this the correct comparison?

908=3913, 910=590*, 410=4013, & what is ***=6906?

 

[handgunner356]

You're getting close, but 410/411= 4003/4. There no matches to the 6900 series and there are two different 4013s'. One is based on a 45 compact(single stack) and the other(TSW) on the 6900(double stack) frame size.

Also the 908 is blued/alloy not stainless/alloy. There is a 908s that is stainless though.

The 6906 is a double stack version of the 3913.

Are you confused yet?

 

[BruceB]

Or perhaps the 6906 is the compact version of the 5906

Lets not forget the DAO versions like the 6946.

yes, quite.

BTW, is this product knowledge something you guys just pick up in conversation, or just generally picked up while enjoying the hobby?

are you saying the 3913 & the 3913TSW are different size frames.
i've been wanting a 3913, so last week i found a 3913TSW & put it on layaway, but the 3913 size is what i wanted.
did i make a mistake?

No, the compact 40 was on two different frame sizes. The 3913 has always been on the same frame size but early '98-99 TSWs' had a grip cut out and used a shorter 7rd mag to fill out the opening. They also didn't have the rail on them, one of my favorites but I don't have very large hands either. The only way to find out about all of them is to buy all them, have fun.
