S&W 3953, New to Me

$57. Definitely worth it! I've sent at least 6 3rd Gen slides to them in the past few years for relamping. I consider dead Trijicon sights to be a plus jn a used gun I'm looking at. Costs so little to have them replaced.

What is the cost? Do you just send in the slide or remove the sights and send them in?

Get an RA number here - Returns & Repairs | Trijicon(R)
After sending them the slide on your dime, they take care of everything for $57 ($19 per lamp).

Can I ship the slide, sans barrel and guide rod, through USPS?

Yes. You can ship anything except the receiver/frame via USPS. I did Priority Mail in the small box. I don't know what the current price is, but it's worth it to ship that way.

Here is what I call my 3953LS (Long Slide), a 5946 slide on a 3953 lower.

Nice pistol, sounds like it will serve well as a ccw.

I've gotten an RGA number and plan on sending in the slide this week. Turn around time is 4-6 weeks.

Just wanted to follow up, sent my 3954 slide in the day after I read this, and just got it back. 3 new night sights for $57 + shipping one way. Cannot believe what a good deal this is. Bravo, thanks for sharing the info!

That's good news!
I may have to consider relamping a couple.

I picked up a 3953 years ago for CCW.
Having been raised on the TDA/SA 39/59 series the 3953 short pre cock DAO takes some getting used to.
the da trigger is much easier but not happy there is no double snap .

I think mine will be traded for a 3913 eventually to keep the same MOA.
