I have a possible chance to purchase a 3913NL. It's described in 99% condition with less than 50 rounds through it.

Comes with original box and three mags. What's the consensus on the value of this pistol in the current market?

Asking price is $675 plus shipping and FFL fee. Looking around it appears to be in the ballpark, barely. I think fees might push it out for me. Still undecided.
 
GB sold prices are almost all North of $600. I know one for sure that went for $686 last year because I was bidding on it. They did not make many of these.
Fewer than the LS even. So although not rare supply and demand sets the price, You will wait a very long time ( maybe never) to get one at $500-$550

I agee, though I got one off guns america auction last year for 550.00. S&W is re-anodizing & beadblast now. Will have over 750.00 into by then.
 
Run, don't walk, to get it. The 3913 is, in my opinion, the finest compact 9mm that Smith ever made. Slim, reliable, and accurate. The "NL" version is the same as the Ladysmith, but without the sissy Ladysmith logo. They are no longer made, and finding an NL is getting pretty chancy now. You never pay too much, just too soon. The only modification I made to mine was a set of tritium night sights.

Buy it! If you can get it for $50 less, that's great. It's still fairly priced LNIB like that especially with the extra mag.

It's one of the most sought after 3rd Gens. And it really doesn't matter what kind of great deal somebody else lucked into.

Finally, what other quality, alloy framed, compact, DA/SA hammer fired pistol with perfect ergonomics can you buy for under $700? The only thing close is a SIG P239 SAS Gen II, which I think go for around $850 and up. Maybe a S&W 1911 Scandium bobtail for $1300.

If you don't buy it PM me with the location!

^ Thanks for the offer but I'm really looking for the stainless/alloy combo.

I have made an offer on the 3913NL. I'll let everyone know what happens.
 
Buy it!

I paid $560 for mine ~ 2 years ago, unfired NIB.

The good: Cool factor; rare.
The bad: Holster availability. They don't fit standard holsters all that well due to the sloped frame.

I really enjoy mine... rest assured that it is no longer NIB...

Who's calling the LS a sissy, not wise at all! for your information, all my Smiths are Ladies, and sharp ones at that!
I wouldn't even attempt to tell the Honey-Badger her gun was a sissy gun, but you go right ahead, it would be nice to see someone else be the victim of that little lady besides myself! Go for It! wait, let me get out of her line of fire------ billy magg

Krammer has the slant frame mold. I have one of their holsters for my slant frame 3913.

To all of the people that have made offers on the gun thanks
to those of you offering $500 and think thats a fair offer Here is your answer
I took the firearm to the FFL that would do the transfer When I told him what I was selling it for He said he would buy it for $600 then put it on sale at his shop for $799 He said it might take 3 months or so to sell it but he would get $799 with the orig box and extra mags He knew I had two and thats why I was selling it. He is tring to get me a cs45 and he would trade it plus add 200 rds of 45 ammo if he gets one. This firearm is impossible to find in the condition that this is in So good luck to all I will take the sale down in 10 days & just hold it I did not know what I really had
