Been hunting for a beater carry 3913TSW Pre-Rail ever since my auction score earlier this year on a barely used example with box and manual. I had patiently searched for the better part of a year before getting my first one for a good price, so I knew it'd be a waiting game. However after shooting that first time, it had noticeably improved DA and SA trigger pulls, and accuracy over my CS9. Yes I know they're not rare or valuable and they're made for carrying, not for collecting. I just couldn't carry the pristine one I had found after all that time, after all. I fell in love with these guns after carrying a CS9 for awhile and learning about the quasi-PC 3913TSW with its slightly longer barrel, squared off rails and tighter slide fit, and delayed unlocking. To me, its like the 3913 and CS9 had a baby, and the 3913TSW Pre-Rail came out with the best features of both parents, and then some. Anyways, fast-forward a few more months, and I'm the proud owner of 2 of these now.

The new carry gun has "666" as the last 3 digits of the serial number [emoji54], thus it's been dubbed the Devil's TSW. This is what I've been able to come up with after a year and a half of searching for the pre-rail version (which is actually quite fun in itself). Two guns. One to carry, and one to collect.

I threw a flash-chromed trigger, low-profile slide stop, and low profile single-sided safety on this bad boy, and he's ready to go to work now. Just need to find an adequate holster. The one I ordered is too bulky for my taste

Does anyone know where to get the one-piece guide rods for these without the staking? The recoil spring was worn and I replaced it along with the other springs, but I think I would feel better replacing the guide rod as as well, since I'll be carrying it and I think it's been shot some and had all original parts

I also have this extra left handed kydex IWB holster that came with it, if anyone needs one

Very nice and great score mercs. Don't own one but got to shoot the Tactical in 9mm at the S&W range back in 2000 following a tour of the factory. Fun day for sure and great to visit the gift shop located nearby. Never bought the TSW as year before had scored a CS-9. Always room for an addition though if one can be found. Thanks for the fine pics.
 
I got a Pachmyr MK9 grip adapter. I will check and see if I can use an 8rd mag for the reload. Does anyone know where to find guide rods?

Keep it you might want to carry a double rig!!!!! :D


LMAO! I was able to find a forum member who can use the lefty holster, so I'll be sending it off to him, and won't be able to dual-wield the 3913TSW anymore

I just ordered this Stoner 515. Hopefully I'm not in the back of a long line with this Black Friday deal going
