I have the same gun and love it.
Why do you want to take the rail off? Just curious.

chances are high there is already an abrasion mark on the frame when the accessory rail was riveted to the frame.
the removal is drilling out the rivet head where the soft rivet can be punched through.
center punch the center of the rivet head and start small, mark your bit so you dont go too deep and progressively use a larger drill bit.
the rivets are aluminum and drill easy, so no 1" hammer drills.

S&W will do this for you. They can fill in the holes also.

I agree the 3913 and 3953 were probably one of the finest pistols SW made. If it bugs you sell it and buy a older model that is a little smoother looking, get a trigger job and crown the barrel then you just about have the best. I got 1200 for one and I'm teed off at myself for selling it.
