3953

Was looking at a S&W 3953 the other day and really like that it's a DAO with no side controlls. But don't like that it has an alloy frame.

What do you carry in a DAO?

Whats your concern with the alloy frame? You won't wear it out and the weight savings makes it about the best CCW ever produced by anyone.

Nice call gto36CID, after all, it is a revolver category. I'm stickin' by my 547 though!!! Post a pic so these auto lovers can see what a real 9mm carry looks like (for a revolver category that is). Otherwise, we're just going to have to suggest this thread be moved over to another category

Excellent! Now that's a real 9mm DAO (for the revolver category anyway). What's your favorite load?

Fav S&W DAO 9mm? My only DAO 9mm is my 3953 and I do like it's size and weight.

That said, when I choose my carry I must go with my H&K P7M8. It's buffered slide permits me to put my follow-up shots on target better than any of my many other 9mm autos.

What is a buffered slide? Thanks!

My wife carries my 940 no dash and if I'm carrying a 9mm it is my Kahr MK9.

*UPDATE 4/13/14*
I no longer own a Kahr.
It has been replaced w/ a S&W Cheifs Special 9D.

When I carry 9mm DAO, it's a 9mm Kurz Colt Pony Pocketlite.

DUH (to me), Sorry guys, I totally missed it, S&W Revolvers: 1980 to the Present, all I was concerned with when I made the thread was the years.

Ron, if you're interested I looking to trade a 3954 in the Classifieds...

I tried the M&P Compact (yeah, I know it is not technically a DAO, it actually being striker fired), but I had light strikes on new factory ammo. So, I went back to other brands: For pocket, Ruger LC9, a little bigger, Glock 19 or HK P2000 LEM.

M&P has had too many issues with light strikes and mags jumping out of the pistol and other problems. Too bad as I really wanted to like that model series.

The 3953 is a great and reliable pistol, but as it is out of production, I am not inclined to use it for carry.

Prefer 147 gr in a revovler, no worries about bullet shape or feeding. Going to try out some Remington Golden Sabre soon actually.
