So I recently stumbled upon a sweet deal for a gun I've never heard of, but the more I research this model (4053) the more I'm intrigued and want to know learn about it. S&W made some pretty solid 3rd gen pistols and once I almost bought a 6906 a few years back, but at the last minute was offered a sweet deal on a Sig 225 I couldn't say no to.
Anyways I have been researching the XX53 series and found they're pretty slick little guns. I love the idea of DAO, no safeties - except my own finger!, single-stack mag, AND they're ALWAYS in a half-cock to make the trigger pull a little easier/shorter!
I'm hoping anyone who owns, has owned, or shot this series - whether it's the 3953 or 4053 - could offer some information on how they liked them...? I've searched all the forums and found very little information about them except that they're recommended as a quality CCW for anyone who's not looking to spend too much money =) I would like a little bit more information on them than that if possible. Thanks =)
Please let me know if there's anything I should be worried about with these little guns?
