Hi,
I was curious if anyone has a Smith & Wesson 4513TSW and what they have found for accessories such as a good carry holster, Hogue grips (Do they make them for this model?) and any other parts that would be beneficial.
I just picked one up, and I am also curious of any thoughts on performance, accuracy or potential issues.
Thanks in advance!

DrRich, welcome to the forum. I personally can't help you with this, but I am sure there are folks lurking about who can.
One quick note - get some pictures of the wee beastie up quick, or people will start pinging you about showing some "gun porn" (pictures of the firearm). Showing a photo or two will go a long way to mollifying them.
Good luck on your quest.

Strange choice with all the new stuff available. They are no longer in the S&W lineup as far as I know . I suppose they are regarded as "old" technology. I have one that is probably 15 years old, and my favorite concealed carry .45. The new high capacity stuff has forged well ahead in sales I imagine. Mine is as police issued. My short fingers like the thin original grips. Night sites still work well enough. I have been concerned that the aluminum frame might not be strong enough for full house defensive ammo as a regular diet, so I usually practice with Winchester white box. Honestly, I can't tell much diffrence in the "thump" from target loads or Gold Dots. I carry it in a Safariland paddle holster or inside the waistband at 1 o'clock position in a Safariland clip on.
I had a gunsmith examine the frame rails a couple of years ago and saw no problems after probably 4K rounds. Hope you enjoy it. BIG punch in a little package.
