3953 S&W Questions.....help.

[Eric Larsen]

I just dropped by a local smith's place and he has a LNIB never been fired 3953 S&W..with nights on it. He wants 299$ for it and my dilema is I know nothing about this gun. Its a 3rd gen smith auto and is very thin and light. Without the agreement comments, I have heard them and read it, has anyone owned or fired this gun.....Is it a great deal? Just a good deal? Should I steal and beg to get it?....thanks for the help

I can't give you a direct answer, but can tell you what I remember from posts.

The S&W 39 series seem to be great at digesting any ammunition that is fed through it. Accuracy seems marginal at best. Many have noted that the trigger mechanism is overly complicated.

Whoops, I forgot Smith and Wesson Forum

We have a 3953 as well as the 3913. It's a great pistol! It feeds everything and is very accurate. I dont believe we've ever had a malfunction with either and we shoot them quite a bit. They each have about 10,000 rds thru them. Great for carry due to their size and weight. All we did to them was install nite sights on them both! I think the price is really good. I've seen them in shops for $450!

Good price.
