S&W autos just get me drooling for some reason. Not quite sure why. Never owned one but have come close numerous times. One of these days...probably after I master calculus at age 53...I will also master their numbering system.

My 3913 is the only 3rd Gen S&W I've kept. Bought this one new in 1993. It is a little laser and is the only 2nd or 3rd Gen S&W I've owned that I could consider reliable.
It has the best DA pull of all my DA/SA pistols. Better than German Sigs and well shot CZs.
I have a 6946 that is my preferred carry gun when my clothing is compatible with a double-stack gun.
For me, it's like having a 13-shot DAO revolver, and what's not to like about that?
If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.
A couple of unusual S&W 3rd Generation guns.
1) Novak full-house on S&W 915 with Bar-Sto barrel. The luxury 5903.
Novak 3906. A relatively rare gun with a few minor tweaks to the trigger guard, a strong-side safety replacing the factory ambi, and the addition of Novak sights. This is my daughter's favorite gun as it is as flat as a 1911 and very easy to shoot well. There is also a spare upper with adjustable sights as well.

My 3913LS that I will carry today (whenever not in an NPE).
That 3913LS always reminds me as a sort of a beefed-up and updated Mauser HSC...I never quite got around to getting one, thought. The 3913/3923 LS guns have consistently garnered excellent reviews over the years.
Best, Jon
This is my one and only 3rd gen a 4553, it was in the used case for too long and I couldn't pass up the temptation.
I put a box of ammo though it, it's a nice shooter. I don't know if I'll carry it though it's like almost new in box with the case cleaning brushes the whole bit. The only downside is that it had XS sights on it. I'm not much into safe queens, but this one might be the exception.
