I just traded a dog for a S&W Tatical .40 caliber (Model 4013TSW), and I have a few questions for you 'experts'.

1. Is this a decent,well made gun?
2. Doesn't 'tactical' mean that I can add lots of accessories to the gun?
3. If not, what does 'tactical' mean?
4. If so, where can I find these accessories?

  A dog? That must have been some dog! Heck, I'd have traded my WIFE for one of those!
  
  Anyway, the term "tactical" is a term used by the gun manufacturers to pitch a model at police SWAT teams. They usually have a rail to mount either a high intensity flashlight or laser sight. Most of the large mail order shooting supply dealers carry accessories that will fit your gun.
  
  Of course, I'm not sure that I would want to install ANY accessories, and certainly not a LOT. Maybe an optical sight, but the other things are not really useful for those of us not in LE. And, any accessories will require a special expensive holster, if you can even find one, other than the holsters that strap to your leg.
  
  In any case, you have a high quality gun that should give you many years of shooting & still hold it's value if you take care of it. I just wouldn't waste my money on adding stuff that I would never use.
