SW 3913

In the $500.00 Range this is a very well made small 9 mm pistol that is an ideal carry gun. It can be refined into a very smooth action. I own one and I have worked on one years ago for World class Gun writer John Taffin, World class holster maker Lou Alessi, Combat gun writer Walt Rauch, even Tom Wigley of the Sigforum, just to name a few.

Out of the box it comes with a DA of 14 lbs and the SA is 7 lbs. This can be refined to approx. 9 lbs DA and I make the SA 5 lbs. It is a single stack holding 8 rounds in the magazine and another one in the chamber.

Using Corbon Power Ball, it is 9 rounds of pure hell in a small package not much bigger than a Walther PPK/S. It does not have the most comfortable grip design but for a daily carry pistol this is ideal with a Stainless slide and an anodized aluminum frame. To improve accuracy the crown needs to be recut.
