Description
This Smith & Wesson Model 908S is a compact semi-automatic pistol chambered in 9mm Parabellum, designed as a value-series variant of the 3913 for concealed carry. The firearm features a 3.5-inch barrel and is constructed with a stainless steel slide paired with a matte-finish silver aluminum alloy frame. The pistol is equipped with black polymer wrap-around grips featuring the Smith & Wesson trade mark logo, a bobbed hammer, a left-side manual safety/decocker lever, and a three-dot sighting system. The left side of the slide is clearly marked SMITH & WESSON over SPRINGFIELD, MA U.S.A. alongside the S&W logo. The left side of the frame is stamped S&W SPFLD,MA U.S.A., MOD 908S, and bears the serial number BEM3184. The barrel is visible through the ejection port and is marked 9MM. Accompanying this lot are two 8-round magazines: one factory Smith & Wesson stainless steel magazine and one ProMag aftermarket blued steel magazine in its original plastic packaging. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The pistol is in good functional condition, showing signs of moderate use. The stainless steel slide and aluminum frame exhibit light surface scratches, edge wear, and handling marks consistent with carry. There are small spots of oxidation and residue buildup near the hammer, slide serrations, and rear sight. The bore is bright with strong, well-defined rifling. The black polymer grips are well-preserved with sharp checkering and minimal wear. The action appears to function correctly, though it has not been test-fired. The factory magazine shows light insertion wear, and the ProMag magazine remains in its original packaging.
