Congrats! $499 for that 3913NL is a steal. Especially these days.
I had mine on today while instructing. I demonstrated a couple of techniques using it. While I was focused on teaching and speaking, not focused on shooting, I noticed after two mags my 3913NL had torn a small hole in the target...
I carry a CS45 more than any of my other compact 45s. Very accurate and 100% reliable with 230 Speer Gold Dot.
I did modify mine with a set of cut down Delrin grips. Thins it out nicely. Regards 18DAI
I own several of the pistols you listed. While the 4513TSW early variant, is my favorite handgun, my CS9 gets carried the most, these days.
Buy a good 9mm defensive round, that your CS9 shoots reliably and accurately and call it good. I use Winchester Ranger 147 grain RA9b in my CS9. Good luck...
While I use and carry the 45 3rd Gen pistols more often, I would have to choose the 3913 as the "best" pistol S&W Produced.
It is everything the 39XX series Father - the ASP 9mm, aspired to be. And S&W stole heavily from both Paris Theodore and Charles Kelsey's designs.
My personal favorite...
While I am fortunate in having a......small herd of 3rd Gen guns to choose from, in my semi retirement I find I carry my CS45 and CS9 most often.
Both have been modified with cut down factory Delrin grips. Made by a talented young man over on another board. I put a rubber grip sleeve over the...
S&W 3913. Thousands of rounds through it. Zero malfunctions. Only thing I've done is change recoil springs and kept synthetic grease on the rails. Great 9mm pistol! Regards 18DAI
Love them! I have been carrying them since the 90s till today. Started with a 910 issued to me, then a 4506-1, 4566 on duty and a 4513TSW, 3913 and 457 for off duty/Court gun.
In retirement from Investigations I picked up a CS45 and CS9 - I wish I'd had the CS45 back when I worked plainclothes...
Yes! CS9, CS45, 4513TSW, 457 customized with Novak night sights and a new to me 3913NL. These are my EDC guns. Same manual of arms and they all share two different holsters.
As a Firearms Instructor at the local indoor range, I also picked up a beater 5903 to teach with too. And I still...
Colt is making revolvers again. With one piece barrels that are properly aligned and decent triggers on them. No idiot lock either.
Who cares what the company calling itself s&w does? Ruger makes nice revolvers too! :)
Actually, Apex Tactical, the company that gives the m&p everything the company calling itself s&w couldn't be bothered to - good trigger/accurate barrels - has said it will begin producing spare parts for the 3rd gen guns.
Not that they are needed. In almost 28 years of carrying and shooting...
A Shadow II is hardly a standard CZ. And not easily available or quickly purchased with its $2K price tag.
A better comparison would be a Performance Center 5906 or even a PPC 9 to the Shadow II.
Hmmm......if the m&p is such a great handgun for LE, then I wonder why every LE agency here, locally has dumped them? ;)
After VERY short service lives. All less than 5 years.
If I was the least bit interested in buying hundreds of dollars of aftermarket parts, to give a new handgun all the...
Their customer service should be top notch. Look at how much practice they get. ;)
s&w will make it right, the 2nd or 3rd try. :) Sad what that company has become.
I love the 3rd generation S&W pistols. I carried a 4506-1 on duty for years. I still have it.
These days I alternate carry guns between a CS45, CS9 and a 457. Great pistols. Bet your life reliable, good looking, well made guns. :)
