3913 Lady Smith

[polaris joe]

I carried one for about a year around 1994. Someone had done an action job on it before I got it. The trigger in both DA and SA was very nice. I wish I had not traded it off

Very good guns. I prefer my SIG 239. It's a bit more accurate. But the 3913 is a classic as far as I am concerned.

I have a 3913 Lady. My favorite Gen 3 pistol to shoot.

I regret that I couldn't buy one when it was on sale at a LGS that was folding. I was down in the cash reserves. Sigh!

Glad you got it.

I only have one and its a 3914 Ladysmith that has been well loved.

I don't understand why the company won't re-issue these guns. They were fantastic and I like them so much more than the Shield....

No money in them. The tooling is gone and you can make M&Ps out of polymer and well them cheaper and make more $$$$.

The tooling is gone...

When the similar 908 and 908S were discontinued ca. 2011 IIRC, it was reported on the S&W Forum that the tooling was being mothballed in Houlton for future LE special orders.

Of course, to paraphrase Abraham Lincoln, don't believe everything you read on the Internet.

Even if the tooling is still around there are no LEO special orders coming so it is effectively the same. No one uses these pistols on a large scale anymore and no one is going to buy them in large quantities.

If the tooling is offline never to return that = gone IMHO. Just like the Gen 3 smiths.

There is ZERO $$$ to be made on these guns for S&W. They make more money selling less M&Ps than they could ever make bringing back the Gen 3s which is why they went away in the first place and why S&W does not support them in anyway now. Glock killed the economics on a lot of metal guns.

Yeah or just cruise the used world for hidden gems.
