I'm not sure why you jumped on ordering a discontinued pistol you admit might be too heavy for carry. There are plenty of good and current offerings that might be more to your liking.Hi! I just placed a order for S & W 915 9mm $ 325.00 . I had one several years ago and sold it because it was worn too much , but now i take another back and hopefully I still like it . but this gun for CCW is a little bit heavy. Thanks.
A firing pin safety physically blocks any forward travel of the firing pin. This should prevent anything happening unless the trigger is physically pulled regardless of the pistol being dropped and type of sear.Just a friendly reminder, that the S&W Shield is a single action only gun... The heavy trigger pull comes from the positive angle on the sear's engagement edge that is pushing the striker slightly to the back when disengaging. APEX sears have neutral angle on that edge, so the striker gets pushed less to the back thus resulting in better trigger pull, but it's not so shock resistant (read drop safe) as the stock sear.
I agree. Parts are going to be tough to come by. I have a 4506, so I'm familiar.I'm not sure why you jumped on ordering a discontinued pistol you admit might be too heavy for carry. There are plenty of good and current offerings that might be more to your liking.
Where do you find magazines?Parts aren't that much of an issue, ...
My 4566TSW....
And how does the OP know how many rounds were fired in that pistol? When were the springs last changed?Parts aren't that much of an issue, unless someone is shooting a gun for 50,000 rounds a year or more -
I don't think you are going to find a DA/SA for $350.
IDK but I think the closest would be something from CZ.
Like the Rami or a 75 compact (PCR). Also good guns.
3rd Gen S&W's are nice pistols, I have one and it's a reasonable deal for what you get.And how does the OP know how many rounds were fired in that pistol? When were the springs last changed?
Not really a conceal gun but the SAR's are a lot of gun for the money. I have sold several and have never had anything but praise from their owners.SAR B6P9C ~ $300 from Bud's

Say what? I haven't heard of that.I think you could hit the $350 price point with a Makarov or a Bersa Thunder, though that would mean 9x18mm or 9x17mm instead of 9x19mm... There is a 9mm Parabellum version of the Thunder, but it good for at least $400 typically.
I'm lusting and looking for a 3rd gen. I realized it ticks all my desired boxes. I need a 3913.3rd Gen S&W's are nice pistols, I have one and it's a reasonable deal for what you get.
The 915 takes the 3rd Gen 59xx parts and springs, Wolff sells them cheap. I've seen mags various places (CDNN, etc) for under $20, and I've seen various parts (barrels, etc) available at places like Midway. The 915 is basically an aluminum framed 5906 with a carbon steel slide, stainless barrel, and non-ambidextrous safety.
Unless you're competition shooting it a lot, it's going to be hard to wear one out. Metal framed pistols are not like cellphones, they are made to last a long time. That's why people can find 70+ yr old guns that just need a little TLC on the finish. If the caliber is available today, they shoot just as well as a brand new gun.
I've never owned one, but I've always admired from a distance. Those Smiths have some great lines.I'm lusting and looking for a 3rd gen. I realized it ticks all my desired boxes. I need a 3913.
