The pre-rail, short-frame configuration identifies this as an early 3913TSW variant designed for 7-round single-stack magazines. The smooth dust cover has no accessory rail, and the compact frame pairs with the 3.5 inch stainless barrel for a trim, carry-friendly footprint.
TSW-series refinements include enhanced slide-to-frame fit and revised barrel-cam geometry. The slide is matte stainless with rear-only angled serrations and an external extractor, and it is roll-marked "TACTICAL Smith & Wesson." The frame is matte silver aluminum alloy and marked "MOD 3913TSW."
Sighting is via Novak Lo-Mount fixed three-dot irons, with a white dot front and a drift-adjustable rear featuring two white dots and "NOVAK's PAT..." marking. Controls include a left-side magazine release and an ambidextrous slide-mounted safety/decocker with a red fire indicator dot. The hammer is low-profile and bobbed (spurless).
Ergonomics include factory one-piece black wraparound synthetic grips with S&W medallions, a checkered backstrap, vertical frontstrap serrations, and a rounded, smooth trigger guard with no front serrations. This USA-made compact 9mm is shipped with two 7-round magazines and retains its S&W case labeled with product code 104530.
