The 3913 should be reliable, accurate, and about as slim as 9mm's get. It's especially good if you've got smallish hands. But if you want more than 7 (or 8) rounds, you might look into a used S&W 6906 (a double stack version of the 3913) for 12 rounds/mag.

I ordered one from CDNN about 2 hours ago. Gun, extra magazine, shipping, transfer, etc......the whole shebang ran me $ 281.
A Ruger ain't "sexy" but it will go bang every time you ask it to.
Another vote for a Ruger.
A used ruger semi-auto can be had for less than $350. The P95 and the P89 are good pistols. I had a P95 and it was a great performer.
Sigma? I'd do a forum search and draw your own conclusions.
CZs are good but I'm not sure if you can get one for $350.If you could find a used CZ-75B for $350, I'd snap it up over the Ruger.

I don't have any experience with 9mm Kel-Tecs, but my 2nd Gen P3AT has been all but flawless. I dunno about the PF-9, but I'd imagine that all the "bugs" should have been worked out of the P11 long ago...
I'd be hard pressed to pass up that 3913, though. I think (at least the CDNN catalogs SAY) that S&W is discontinuing ALL of their steel-frame autos - so this might be one of those "get 'em before they're gone!" opportunities as well....

My LGS has Sigmas for $279 + $50 rebate and 2 free mags.If you could find the same deal locally,it might be too good to pass up with no more $ needed for shipping or FFL transfer,it's quite a deal.I'm even thinking of picking one up.

Well, I put some money down on the 3913. I took a good look at it today and it doesnt look like it was shot very much at all. Thanks for all the replies.

I use a Bersa Thunder 45 but a Stoeger Cougar, or Ruger P95 will work for you. Regards, Richard
Dont know how close you are to Ga but I have 3913 you could try. I have smaller hands and it fits and conceals quite well I would shoot one before I bought one. I say that and I have had mine for eight years and never a prob. but if I had shot others first I wouldnt have bought it great gun just not for me
