Very nice! I probably would've bought one had it been available. Thanks for posting the photo, Eric!

Let's see if the new owners come out with it. I would love one myself!   ;)

Wow. Gorgeous. Nice design!
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.

I love that gun... Unfortunately I think that the other side says Ladysmith.
Having a gun in your hand is much more effective than having the entire police department on the phone!

The 3913 NL has  both the gray & the black grips, the 3913 LS is the LadySmith, and the 3913 has the black grips? I hesitated looking for one because I thought that the LS only came with gray grips. You have a beautiful gun...very elegant lines to it. Enjoy.

I do own one, but those are just pictures off the internet.  I thought maybe I would dig out the PP for a group shot.  I think that the 3913 is larger than the Rohrbaugh prototype.

Yes, it is larger than the Rohrbaugh R9 "PP". . . . . That was to be it's designation.  ;)

Those are classic lines IMHO

The Rohrbaugh is more refined looking. Elegant. Pure.

Norm  -  I remember when the Lady Smith 3913 came out and everybody wanted one without the "Ladysmith" inscription.  That is what prompted Smith to bring out the "NL".

Josh, I hate to say this to you, "but I think Sigs are ugly".

Lol. No biggie. The Sig is more of a utilitarian piece I guess, but I like the look personally.

The sig 239 has a similar overall shape to the smith you posted. That's why I put it up.

Not really designed to be a beauty queen.

Anyway, they both lose the beauty contest next to the Rohrbaugh. It's quite elegant. Not cluttered up with a bunch of plastic and lines that go nowhere.

Quite a nice design Eric.

I don't think that Sigs are ugly, just a bit cosmetically challenged.

You guys got my interest up.  Here is a PP and a 3913 and a R9.

Judging from the pictures, the R9 PP and the 3913 are pretty close to the same size.
