Well, no, not this specific model. I've owned various S&W pistols over the years including model 39, 59, 469, 6906, and have shot a bunch of others when I served as
an LEO (and firearms instructor). Can't say as I have had any problems with any of
'em except the early model 39, but that one was back in the mid 70's.
Before I got my Sig239 one of the guns I checked out was the S&W 3913. Seemed like
a good little gun to me. As I recall, price was about $550. I got my Sig for $510.
I think the Sig is a better gun, but to each his own.
You may find addtl. info. for the S&W on the forum. Here's a link:

FTF, and occasional FTE. As I noted though, this was one of the earlier guns, back in the
mid 1970's when I acquired it. Problem occured with some brands of hollow point ammo. Ball ammo functioned fine. Probably just needed some polishing of the throat/feed ramp area, but I got laid off from a job and sold it before I ever got around to fixing it. This was before my LEO days.
