Although, they will accept the 15-round magazines used in the Model 915. Features include an alloy frame, nylon guide-rod, straight backstrap and one piece wrap-around grips.

Analysis

This 9mm semi-automatic pistol offers a solid option for shooters seeking a balance of performance and affordability. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent groupings at moderate ranges, making it suitable for both casual plinking and defensive use. The ergonomics are well-designed, with a grip that accommodates a variety of hand sizes, providing comfort during extended sessions. Reliability is a key asset, as it functions smoothly with a range of ammunition types under typical conditions. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to a more complex disassembly process, which may frustrate less experienced users. Parts availability could also pose a challenge, as replacements are not as widely accessible as for more common models. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5-6 pounds, while the felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most shooters, though those sensitive to kick might notice it during rapid fire.

910 compared to 915
By carledmund on 02 Nov 2019
The 910 was after Clinton-era law that limited magazine capacity. Nevertheless, the 910 can use either the supplied 10-round mags (dents in the side limit capacity) or the 915's 15-round magazines (or 17 rounders from 3rd party vendors). However, on the 910, S&W also changed to plastic for the guide rods and magazine catches and modified the barrel profile. The 915 has a locking lug on the barrel, but the 910 does not.
