To me the 3rd gen Smith autos are some of the finest semi autos you can get!
I myself have had I think four...first was a Smith & wesson 4006, then a 5906, then another 5906 with adjustable sights, and now a 4516-2. I would really like to find a 3913 LS addition to give to my g/f and for my occasional carry.
But yeah, like I said they are very nice guns. They have some weight with the all steel frame, but the aluminum frame variant such as the 5903 or the 3913 are much lighter.
One benefit though to the heavy weight makes recoil pretty much non existent. Mags are pretty easy to come by, and generally inexpensive when bought used. Plus being they are stainless steel makes them pretty much rust proof.
