I wonder if the promotional shots from only the right ("non-lock") side on the S&W website are an acknowledgement of the lack of enthusiasm for...
I love, love, love the single stack 3rd generation Smiths. Also always wanted a 3904/3906. I have a 3953 and 2-3913's. Have owned several others...
Springfield "Loaded" with upgrades by Alchemy Custom
Another vote for a S&W "3rd Generation" metal, hammer-fired .45. A model 4506 or 4566 for steel framed, 5" or 4" barrels. Other variations...
Back in the mid-to-late 80's I joined a local range. First year dues was $60 and included a Raven .25!
Bought my first in the mid-80's when the "Wonder-Nine" craze was in full swing. Every other issue of whatever magazine (remember magazines?) had...
Great gun. REALLY great deal.
It only takes a few minutes to field strip, blow the dust and lint out and give it a quick wipe with a couple drops of oil. If you carry it daily...
When faced with these questions I usually advise to sell that which is most easily replaced if/when you miss it
"If you actually shoot one and decide you don't like it, fine. But the notion that it's obsolete is foolishness" Thanks 1911 Guy. I may be...
Big fan of the entire 3rd Gen line up with special preference for the single-stack 9mms. I've owned: CS9, several 3913's and 3953's, 4506-1,...
Would love to own one but a little out of my range ($). But I am curious what "bad" you've heard about them? They seem to be universally well...
I agree with hAkron. Start with a pair of BHP MkIII's or Colt/Springfield 1911's and get them tuned and refinished to match by a pro. If you go...
I've had many third gens over the years. I am down to three 39xx-series (single-stack versions of your 6906). The 5906 mags WILL work in your...
In addition to the low buy price at Bud's I'm pretty sure Colt still has their $100 rebate going. $614 for a brand new Colt!
+1. Stick with your .45's. but go get a 3913 anyway - they're great guns!!
Countzero gives great information. (That's a great post, Count, and I will keep it as a reference for the future.) I think you'd be well-served...
If she likes the 915 it's an easy home run. Accurate enough for self defense and plinking (though not necessarily a "tack driver") and as...
Feel and balance are very subjective. One of my other favorite designs is the S&W "3rd Gen" single-stack 9mm's. I had a couple different 3913's...
Quoted from RetiredUSNChief: (and Thanks for your service.) "None of the other Colts that I, or one of my brothers, has had over the decades has...
