S&W 3913?
I saw the 3913 suggested in the Suggestions wanted: Single stack 9mm for EDC and looked into it. I really like it! I try to buy not only made in america whenever possible, but also made in massachusetts as well. Can anyone elaborate on their experiences with them? I was sold on the S&W...

Lol no. This thing has a weird identity crisis. Even that XDE thing springfield makes, you look at it and its like "oh, i get it, they targeting "EYE GOTTA hav a hammer!!!! No striker!!!" boomers at least. Even that makes more sense.

The manual of arms on the XDE is very much like the 3913 and similar guns. I had one for a while, but the trigger literally rubbed my finger the wrong way so I sold it. Too soon as it happened, because I sold it before the post 2020 panic buying season. 
Someone other than you commented on the DAO versus TDA thing and not having a safety on the TDA guns. You need either a decocker or a safety/decocker on the TDA guns because after the first shot it's SA and the hammer will be cocked. Dropping the hammer is a smart move before reholstering. At least I think so. S&W also offered a spring loaded decocker only on some of the later 3rd Gen guns sold to police agencies. The slides were all milled for it so it's a simple switch.
S&W also offered some frame decocker only guns to compete with Sig. They didn't see a ton of them and they are hard to find today.
S&W made the DAO guns for police departments that were transitioning from DA revolvers. Remember that some, like NYPD started using DAO revolvers in the years before departments moved to semi autos. That's why if you fire a DAO 3rd Gen, the trigger pull is very much like the DA pull on a S&W revolver.
As I said earlier, if they were smart they'd have made this new gun TDA with a decocker only lever. As a real geek note, if it's an alloy frame with a carbon slide, it would really be a 3914, not a 3913.

Since they shipped at least one to a dealer, it must exist. This is similar to what they did when the Shield was introduced. They sent some out to dealers so that they would have stock to sell at the time it was released. An employee violated the NDA, took a picture and leaked it. I think it was actually an employee at the store at the factory, but I'm not sure.

For those of us in MA, it's also a question of whether they'll be submitted for testing. No reason not to, but the market might not be large enough to offset the costs.

just maybe not at deli ticket emporium or Cabelas.

I’m talking Springfield SA-35, which is a factory fancy hi-power. One of the original ‘wonder9s’.
I have zero mass worries, but even you poor suckers can buy a hi power!! You poor souls have quite a few non-1911 options for non restricted magazine full size guns.
I have no doubt that Springfield will have the SA-35 and the million more modern variants developed in 2022 thereof on the roster forthwith. Whether there is actual supply to meet shop orders is a different story, but I think we will be seeing plenty of single action semi non-1911 competition on the local market in 2022 which will cut into whatevertheHell S&W was thinking with this thing.
