The Model 3913 is a compact, single-stack 9mm Luger with an 8+1 capacity, offering a slim profile that carries easily while maintaining full control. Its stainless 3.5-inch barrel and matte stainless slide ride on a light-anodized aluminum alloy frame for a balance of durability and reduced weight.
This DA/SA pistol features a smooth-faced trigger and an ambidextrous slide-mounted safety/decocker. Safety features include a magazine disconnect safety and a firing pin block. An external hammer with a checkered spur supports confident manual control.
Sights are fixed, with a ramped front blade and a dovetailed rear sight. The slide has rear cocking serrations and no front serrations, and uses the Third Generation external extractor. The frame has a rounded, undercut trigger guard and vertical front strap serrations. A one-piece black wraparound synthetic grip with molded checkering provides a secure hold.
Markings include "MOD 3913" on the frame and "9MM Parabellum" on the barrel hood. Made in the USA, this example retains the hallmark Third Generation features and comes complete with two factory-pattern magazines, the owner's manual, and the factory box.
