Why no 3953 Love?

I own multiple 3953s and this one (pictures attached) with night sights and the black cerakoted frame is my EDC. In my opinion, the 3953 is the most perfect carry pistol ever made. Now, I realize I probably don't need to own 4 of the same pistol, but every time I see one for sale locally at a decent price, I snatch it up. I can't help myself!

Looks good. Mine has a rail. I’d like to get that rail taken off and the holes filled. Not sure who to have do the work though.

I've owned a 3914, 3913 NL , Chief Special 9mm and they all lead me to the 3953. I now have a 3953 and a 3953 tactical; all the others were sold.

I owned a 3953 back about 20 years ago. Picked it up used night sights and 4 mags. I added the Hogue grip panels notbthe slip on. **** her for a few years and my now ex wife said we need money for the mortgage. I sold it un happily for a profit. So sad I did was a great shooter. And I paid a whopping 150.00 for it.
Fast forward to this past Saturday. I work at an FFL didn’t see it in the used case till the end of the day. A used 3953 with a box and 6 mags! No night sights. Well this Saturday I will be picking her up sending the slide out to trijicon for sights have the Hogue grips ordered. Just have to find a nice pancake holster and see how she shoots. Pics to come when I get her out of hock!

Curious about what sights you replaced? I have never heard of a 3953 with anything other than the original sights -- Novak fixed. What did yours have?

I sent mine to Trijicon and am having them replace the factory Novaks with Novak s fitted with Trijicon sights. About $125.00 which is not bad at all.
