PCRCCW,
I meant the last post in response to mini14jac's observation about the Sigma pistol in the gunstore ...
I DO have a single 8-round 3913 magazine that exhibited the 2nd round moving forward after the first round is chambered, but that's probably because I installed an Extra Power magazine spring, which increased the pressure of the 2nd round against the stripper rail during the chambering of the first round. This was reduced after the magazine was left loaded in the pistol for a couple of weeks. Also, it never caused an actual functioning problem, as the recoil movement of the slide during firing was sufficient to return the top round to the rearward position so it was picked up in the normal manner.
I also really like the 3913, and now that I've added a CS9 to the safe, I've been considering getting one of the newer 3913TSW's, or maybe even a 908S ... since the both of them have the slightly better internal "finish" offered by the more extensive CNC production. My 3913 came with the regular decocking/safety body, but I discovered the slide was already milled & drilled for the spring loaded decocking body ... like the later production TSW pistols offer ... so I ordered, installed and fit one in it. The head armorer liked the variation enough that he sent his back to the Performance Center to have the modification done to the slide, and a spring loaded assembly installed to replace the regular one.
A friend with another agency liked my 3913 enough that he ordered one of the then-new TSW versions. We've both fired a LOT of rounds through them since then, and both of the 3913's have been terrific little pistols ...
We both also own CS9's, although his is one of the early production carbon steel, blued models ... but we both seem to carry the 3913's more often. I installed one of the LPA adjustable sights on his, but went with the Novak Ghost Ring rear sight, and factory Trijicon front post, on mine ... I had to modify the existing Hogue grips to fit his early version of the 3913TSW, as Hogue didn't offer one to fit the shorter grip frame.
While I like the compactness of the CS9, and its surprising accuracy, I still like the "balance" and feel of the 3913 ... I'll probably have to own a newer one sometime.
