The greatest thing about this Smith & Wesson 4013TSW replica is that there’s practically no difference between it and the real thing. Western Arms did an amazing job with the looks of this gun. The markings on the slide look exceptionally good and very realistic. The gun feels awesome in the hand – solid and heavy. The grip is short, but the magazines feature a lip allowing the little finger to rest on it, making the gun easy to hold and shoot accurately. Despite its compact size this is a pretty heavy gun, but that’s to be expected as there are many metal parts – the hammer, slide lock, safeties/decockers, outer barrel, recoil rod, front and rear sights and magazine catch. The frame and slide are painted with a metal finish which is pretty durable and won’t wear out on you. The performance of the gun is pretty impressive, too. Accuracy, grouping and power are great with stronger gases and still pretty good with 134a. Also for such a small gun, with a heavyweight slide, there is a reasonable amount of kick that I think you’ll like very much. Read some of the specifications before we move on:

Downsides – probably the only one is the price. The gun will cost you about $750 and not everyone can afford that. But in the end it’s a great gun no matter how you look it and I think it totally deserves that price tag. It looks amazing and performs just as great so if you can spend that amount of money do it without hesitation.
