Picked up my 3913 today w/pics

[wbwanzer]

I picked up my 'new to me' 3913 today. Very nice little pistol. I'm planning to try it out on Thursday. Before buying I did my research on this forum as I had no prior knowledge of this gun. I read a lot of very favorable comments here. I cleaned the outside up a little and took a few pictures. The black holster is an inexpensive High Noon IWB. I live in Maryland so I can only carry out of state. Isn't that great. The last three pictures are of a generic holster that I got at a gun show. It's an IWB with cell phone holder. The pictures where I'm wearing it are less than perfect because I don't have my phone in the holder and I'm not wearing a belt. Anyway, it's a neat holster, I think. You grab the cell phone and pull the holster up to reveal the gun.

I'll post later in the week after I get to the range.

Very nice, congrats! Doesn't get any better than that in a compact 9mm! Regards 18DAI.

That is in beautiful shape! Have to let us know how she shoots.

 

[Sod]

Excellent choice, and it looks almost new!

I have been waiting to use this.

Sod, yeah the gun is in pretty good shape. The white dot sights were filthy as was the red dot to show it's in firing mode. Other than that it's actually the first used pistol I've bought where I could stick my finger inside and touch the feed ramp and come out with a clean finger.

Thank you sir. I am honored.

wb;

I carry a 3953 and have found the flat magazine floor plate makes a difference in ease of concealment (when you are out of state). I've got big mitts and can still get three fingers on the grip.

Nice pistol, and I might add, some top notch photography, too! I own three of that gun's ancestors, a 39 1st series and two 39-2 versions. Not as small as yours, but they still carry easily and flat in the holster.

Congrats. That's a great looking gun. I have been reading about that model lately and could get serious about owning one.

 

[wbwanzer]

Thanks for all the 'Congrats' everyone.

Now I have a question. I have found that there is no manuel in the box. Do I strip the gun by poking out the slide release lever like on a CZ75? If so, do I do it with the slide forward? On the CZ you scootch the slide back a hair and line up two marks, then push out the pin.
If I'm not on the right track with the CZ comaprison, then please let me know what I should do. There is no take down lever.

Thanks for any help.

[Ky Bob]

Thats a sweet looking pistol. Looks almost never fired or carried.

 

[Two Guns]

Great lookin 3913.I was looking for one last week but couln't find one.You got a real nice one.Thanks for the pics.

 

[wbwanzer]

Two Guns, I found mine on GunsAmerica. I think they still have some. I didn't consider mine a bargain, but I wanted one.

That is good-lookin' all day! I appreciate the "actual size" photos except it makes me want to grab it up and take it to the range for a go, just as a loaner though.
