I have a pile of 3rd Gen Autos. A 4013TSW and a 4040PD are part of it. I find them to be very comfortable to shoot at .40 S&W platforms. I used to have a 4006TSW, but sold that off. For a full-size .40 S&W, I prefer my Beretta 96s. The 4516 is a stainless-steel frame, the 4513 is aluminum.
Strange, every 3rd Gen Auto I've shot has had a fantastic trigger. They're close to rivaling my Berettas.
oooh yeah! took that once, it workedThey have a pill for that itch.
Congratulations on 88! I’ll be happy with 78
Stay healthy sir. Because the gun itch never goes away.
I hear they make a cream too. Doesn't work on me, but it makes for great greasing lube for my Garands.They have a pill for that itch.
I was issued a 5906 back in 1991. Not a fan.
It is an all stainless steel gun. My GLOCK 30 weighs less than loaded than a 4516 empty. And the GLOCK 30 is a pussycat. Same with my GLOCK 29 in 10mm Auto shooting full power loads. A 4516 ain't gonna recoil.
Really! Really!I was issued a 5906 back in 1991. Not a fan.
Weighs as much as my boat anchor, unergonomic, slippery grip, mushy trigger. Worst thing was it jammed on me during a “pass or you are out” academy qual. I couldn’t get rid of it fast enough when the second chief I worked for OK’ed us using our own guns for duty.
Lots of guys love them, though.
Stay safe.
Mine was an awful experience. So bad I will never buy a S&W 59-series. Others may differ, and that is OK.
I had one over a decade ago. I paid $200 for it and sold it for $300. It was okay. But it was a value series gun and other than the 909, they didn't appeal to me much.
