    Penny loafers with sweat socks is early "60s" as I remember it.

    I am SO waiting for leg warmers and the soft clinging sweaters to come back. That and 80's big hair makes me weak to this day.

    Thanks to GJM for the tip, I now have mags coming for the 3953 I got for my daughter.

    Heck, I've got eleven of the suckers; wish I'd known you needed some for the gal.

    10-4 on the big hair. That, a mini-skirt, some throw-me-down-and-do-me spike pumps… man…

    Okay, finally got the 3953 to the range. It NEEDS some new sights, just because the front is sort of buggered up and I hate 3 dots. Trying to shoot it like an auto or a LEM is no good. Had a bunch of issues with short stroking it. Tell the brain....."It's a revolver"........bingo. You very much have to shoot them JUST like a revolver. If you do that, it shoots great. It would make a good deep concealment gun, especially combined with an air weight J frame where both guns triggers work the same.

    Greg Cote LLC has flat and curved now too for $33.95 I think.

    Sorry to revive this, but does anyone besides trijicon make sights for this thing? I recently picked one up and I absolutely hate 3 dot sights. I am also curious why they don't make these guns any more. The DA trigger is better than any other DA/SA gun I have shot and the SA trigger has to be one of the best SA triggers ever with an extremely short reset. Any leads on sights would be appreciated though.

    I don't know about large sight manufacturers but Novak still makes variations of their sights for that model

    P.S. I experienced the same thing as Nyeti with the 3953 many years ago. It was at an IDPA match and I had forgotten the mags for my Glock and someone lent me a 3953; I had plenty of short strokes until I got used to the trigger. Still, I really liked that gun.

    I'm teaching a class of psych/legal issues and we are discussing firearms appearance as an influence. Looking at the 3913LS vs the standard 3913 - the kids couldn't see what made the LS a Lady gun. But they were laughing at the 3913 Non-LS variant for those men who liked the gun but didn't want the LS on the slide. Then we discussed pink guns and knives -
