S&W 3rd Gen Semi Autos

[Hoosier45]

A 6906 was the first semi-auto that was "mine" when I was a kid. Traded it later, but loved it when I first got it.

I picked up a CS45 at the 1500 with 2 mags, saw a good deal on a 4046, guy wanted I think $365, I have nothing in 40 cal but was tempted.

No pics, No range report? Just Gun Show folklore....

That's kinda what started me back on a Third Gen kick. Thought I would buy just one 3906 that I really missed from years ago and it has turned into a small "collection" of 1-3rd gens and I STILL haven't found a 3906!!!

He had it marked $565, I traded a pistol I had maybe $400 in.

Darn it. I have to stay out of gun stores.

Hope I don't get banned from the Third Gen group but brought home an ANIB 659 today.

Very nice! Here’s a pic of mine, I think a later version:

Aesthetically, I do like the exposed backstrap on the 2nd gens.

So....Maybe this should be the place to start the definitive list of TV and Movie appearances of 1-3 gen Smiths since its too cold to hit the range??

Breaking Bad - Walt has a 4506 and a 945. Todd has a 4566. I sure hope that 945 is well cared for!

FYI as soon as I can figure out how to receive payments on PayPal I will have some CS9 mags for sale (3 total). I've seen them going on Gunbroker for around $40. So maybe $30 a piece or 75 for all three? Still have to do some price checks.

I will warn you though, it's easy to spend way too much time on that website.

I think we can open membership to 1st and 2nd gen owners for a nominal fee.

Apparently, I don't spend enough time on the internet? I've searched into pages on the site but didn't realize it had a manufacture database.

Next you'll be telling me I can buy stuff online and have it shipped to my house...

1775usmarine: Will send nominal fee exactly like my original membership fee was sent. No purple. Dead serious.

Well in another 30 years you can get a 1988 3906 sent to your home on a C&R lol

Well....I think I've added another gun to my "when I win the lottery" list.

A 5" 5906...might watch the bids on Gunbroker but I'm pretty sure its going to fly past me!

Picked one up today, the 3914DAO. I feel like I got a decent price on it, for a NIB gun, comes with 3 magazines and all the assorted goodies. The envelope containing the spent cartridge has a late 2015 date code on it, so I would assume these are all around that age in production.

If you call Smith on Monday they should be able to give you month and year the gun was made. Looks really sexy. I'm torn between one of these or a Ruger PC when they hit stores. This would be the guaranteed wife isn't mad purchase.

My camera on my iPhone sucks (or at least I suck at taking pictures with it). I was surprised to see these have a Springfield, MA marking on them, versus the reasonable similar age 3953TSW I have, which is a Houlton, ME marked gun.

Kscessnadriver:Can't seem to get the photo to show on the SW forum. Here is most complete list I've seen. Not mine. From the SW forum. Someone did a lot of work!!

I know this use to be on a website but I think it expired as it doesn't load anymore.
