The Model 3913 pairs a stainless slide and barrel with an anodized aluminum-alloy frame to deliver a compact, single-column 9mm platform. The 3.5-inch barrel and 8+1 capacity align with the model’s streamlined profile and single-stack magazine design.
Controls and handling features include a slide-mounted ambidextrous safety/decocker with a red fire dot, DA/SA operation, and an external spurred hammer. Rear slide serrations and an external extractor support confident manipulation, while frontstrap texturing aids purchase. The frame shows a straight dust cover and a flat-front, serrated trigger guard, consistent with the model’s compact alloy-frame profile.
Sighting is straightforward with fixed, low-mount sights: a white-dot front sight paired with a low-mount notched rear. The one-piece wrap-around textured synthetic grip with S&W medallions provides a secure, uniform hold across the backstrap and sides.
This Third Generation S&W includes a single-column steel magazine with numbered witness holes, supporting quick visual round counts. The pistol was manufactured in 1994 in the USA and retains the classic lines and control layout associated with the 3913 series.
