Some years ago at a gun show, I handled a small S&W 9mm that resembled a 3913 except that it had a double-stack magazine. What gun was that?
S&W 3rd-gen compact double-stack 9mm

Given that description, it was a 6906: 3.5" bbl, alloy frame/stainless slide, TDA, 12-round mags (will also take factory 15- and 20-rounders).
They're very nice guns. There have been a lot of police trade-ins on the market for cheap, but they get snatched up fast.

Have 1 of those myself with the factory 12 rounders. Very reliable to say the least. Unfortunately I always hit low with the factory novaks (tried ammo switching but didn't help much). If I can find adjustables (if they are made) that will raise my point of impact it will be my primary CCW.

Very very good guns...the 39 and 69 series guns are great. One of the best CCW's available.
Shoot well.

I love my 6906. Just put Hogue grips on it, and like it even more now.
Many Police trade-ins to be had for $270-$300. Great pistol, great value.

Thanks! That's definitely the one. I really liked the one I examined but didn't have the money at the time to purchase it. Too bad . . .

Well, there are plenty more where it came from. Keep an eye peeled!
Wardog, did the Hogues add a lot of thickness to the grip?

It doesn't look like the Hogues added any thickness to the grip, however the Hogues did seem to make the grip feel a little thicker. I think this is only due to the finger grooves in the front. It did not seem to affect the concealability at all.
