I am one of the few people you will ever meet that has actually won one of those online sweepstakes. I won a 3913LS, and promply discovered that it didn't fit my hands very well, so I gave it to my wife.

My wife had been talking about shooting IDPA some time, with me, and I eventually tricked her out with holster, spare mags, and everything, at which point she decided that she wasn't going to shoot IDPA after all.

A while later I had decided to buy myself a 9mm and knowing that the 3913 didn't suit my needs I did some shopping around. One day while I was perusing some guns on line, my bride came in and told me that I should take back her gun, as she was not going to use it, and get myself one that fit me.

I did so, gratefully, and wound up with an XD9, which I like and it fits my hands and stuff, and it takes 17 round mags too.

Last year my wife and I went through our CHL requalification and I talked her into trying out the XD9 instead of her beloved PPKS. She tried it out when we went to practice, and enthusiastically decided that she would use it for the requal.

She fired a perfect score and then decided that now the XD9 is hers, so I am back in the market for a plastic gun.

I liked the 3913, it just didn't fit my paws real well, it hurt my hand to shoot it.
