S&W 3913 vs 639 at the Range
This video provides a comparative range review of two vintage Smith & Wesson semi-automatic pistols: the 639 and the 3913. The presenter highlights their shared era of design, including the often-disliked magazine disconnect safety and the hammer drop safety. Key differences noted are the 639's full stainless steel construction and larger capacity (8 rounds) versus the 3913's lighter aluminum alloy frame and smaller capacity (7 rounds), along with perceived differences in trigger feel and sight quality. The 3913 is discussed as a potential plainclothes law enforcement option, while the 639 is presented as a more traditional duty sidearm.
