Id want a 4.0 inch barrel like the service model. i like sight radius, having short radius and long grip is dumb.

2/10ths of an inch is not that much sight radius, it's not going to affect your accuracy unless you are a machine that can achieve the maximum effect for which the gun was built.

The 3913 is also not a good carry gun, at least not by todays standards, or not in the league that a J frame or one of these Kel-Tec clones is. They're hefty guns, not much slimmer or shorter than their bigger counterparts like the 39 series (I'd just say 3906 but they are so damn hard to find) guns and the double stack 5906. Aside from being single stack, they're pretty much what the Glock 19 is to the Glock 17, or what the P228/P229 is to the SIG P226, and that's "not that much smaller".

Speaking of Kel-Tecs, they've sort of peaked my interest as carry type guns since they are light, they come in 9mm caliber, they are not starved for capacity like their cloned counterparts, and best of all, they are low cost. I'd like to fire one before I sink my money into one though, and I'm also not entirel off buying an old Model 60 for cool factor in concealed carry. Is that an old stainless .38 only Model 60? Fucking yeah it is.

Seen too many p3at problems before, no experience with 9 versions but the barand seems cheaply built and I hate DAO autos with a passion.

I wear a light jacket most of the year and I (as I have repeated before but you guys keep forgetting) am a fairly large guy. A 3913 would be for when I'm wearing a jacket, some kind of J-frame for when I'm not in a jacket
