When the offer was made, I was considering it as part of my carry choices. This whole mag situation has killed it. Once upon a time, I had a 3914 that I enjoyed. It was a good carry gun. Thin and had that "used bar of soap" feel to it. In what I. An only call one of my fits of stupidity, I traded it. Along with the pistol went half a dozen factory mags and my holsters for it. I've been casually shopping for a new gun, and found myself complaining to my friend that auto pistols are just generic plastic pieces, and that I missed pistols like that Smith 3914 with Hogue with dark wood grips that looked good. That led to his offer, and this thread.
Seems like these days, if I want something that isn't generic tactical Tupperware, I need to go revolver or 1911...
