I am very uneducated concerning Smith & Wesson pistols so please teach me something about a pistol I bought today.
It is an S&W model 4053,.40cal.,stainless,DA only.
Thanks.

Howdy! What exactly would you like to know? I have a 4053 Tactical and I really like it. In fact, it's my primary carry gun. It is light, compact, and very accurate. I have put about a hundred rounds or so through it, including reloads. Not an extensive work out, for sure, but enough to tell me it is a good gun. S&W pistols are good shooters, I have owned about half a dozen or so over the years. They sometimes get a bad rap, usually by people who have never shot one. You have a good pistol, enjoy it!

Thanks,Holiday.Since posting I have had a chance to go to the range with this pistol and I really like it.You're correct on the size.It is just right.
I thought the double action only was going to be a problem but not so.
This is the first stainless pistol I have ever owned and if I do say so it is a right handsome piece.
I appreciate your reply.

You're welcome. I, too, was a little leery of DAO pistols at first. But after owning a few I have decided I really like the concept. With practice I have no problem dinging the steel plates at 20-30 yards.

I own the 4013TSW ... the TDA / SA cousin of the 4053. It's a great little gun. I like it so much that I picked up two of them ...
