They don't know how to send pics even though they have a gunbroker site and I'm not going to drive several hrs in case I'm disappointed.

Hmm....maybe they are reconsidering their pricing...

Might depend on who you talk to, if you talked to Mike he's older and might not, Rich is the guy that does the gunbroker sales, he'd know.

I'm sure but then they said it was so expensive to ship. I think mcapo is right they must be rethinking the low low price.

Snow be damned - I am getting my "new" 4006 to the range tomorrow. I have never owned or shot a 40 SW 3rd Gen....sort of like being a teenage again and your first girlfriend's parents are gone and....uh...nevermind....anyway...can't wait to shoot it. Have 200 rounds of 40 in inventory. Hope to come home with none!

I still have yet to zero the red dot on my 3906. I've been busy doing some early spring cleaning in order to raise funds for more 3rd gens.

With the potential for snow, I stole a little time between appointments for the 4006 and a Beretta 92FS.

Wow. I’m impressed. The 4006 soaked up all the recoil and was accurate. Not as soft as the 92 but still nothing like say a 40 Shield.

Below are a couple groups from 15 yards (well actually 14.5...). It was cold. I was cold but I’m pretty happy with those groups from me. The first pic was the start and you can see me climbing the target to find it POI. The second is representative of most groups. Some bull eyes (luck) and some fliers (me) but just reconfirms how good these pistols are in any caliber!

Looks good. I think I'm going to find a setup like on the MAC channel the cardboard targets like I his recent cz70 review so I can actually work a load for my 4506 and be able to go out behind the house and test

Wish I could shoot in my backyard but the range is just a couple miles away.

I’ll probably get that 4006 in a rest and see if the sight needs drifted a bit or if it was just me shooting left. I’m guessing the latter.

I have a stack of paper plates that I usually cover the backer board with but I thought I’d treat a new gun to a real target.

Glad you got some range time in. The 4006 was my first .40, they're bricks but I always remember them shooting good.

Maybe this is old news but saw some LE trade in 3913/5906s while looking at an air rifle.

Sure wish the NIB 5906s price didn’t start with a 7.

Prices look a little high on the 3913's in fair shape.

They must be monitoring this thread. Sportsman raised the NIB 5906 $50 today.

I saw that but I also think there is less than a dozen available as well. I'm also waiting to see if my bid holds for a 915 that looks a good 90% I would doubt it as I'm at the limit for the bet I placed but you never know.

I really want a 3906/5906 but dropping over $750 for both seems like a lot for nice in-box examples. A few years from now, I might regret that position....my wife has been ill for a month now and the extra funds are going to buy all these doctors new Mercedes!!! Slowing down the purchases...Which is funny since after getting rid of a bunch of stuff; I'm running out room again. Another safe or less buying? Hmmm...

Got a little range time tomorrow if today goes as planned. Think I'll throw the 4006 in the case though primarily going to take a CZ to do a little pre-trigger job comparison. With the cold and time factor, the "testing" of the 4006 was rushed but I think that is hands down the best 40 I've fired even considering my built-in bias for third gens.

Been watching this 5906 - along with all the others.

That 5906 looks nice.......I would rather drop the money on the rarer 3906 than the 5906.

Find me one to buy. Lol

I've tried but most are lnib or in 85-90% with just a mag or two.

Question? Hopefully some one can help me. I bought a 4006 with bobbed hammer and adjustable sights I know it is police trade in but trying to see if I can figure out who. It is not a CHP or a Parks and Rec one and not a TSW. It is marked in the same areas as my 6946 which is a Norfolk P.D. but this one is listed as "A40**" . The Norfolk is listed as "NPD17**" on Rh side receiver , then slide above it and then on the chamber part of the barrel . I was wondering if it was an Atlanta P.D but they seem to be not 4046 and no adjustable sights and from what I can see they are Marked "Atlanta Police Dept."
This one has no holster wear that I can see either. Any Help would be appreciative.

About 95-98% with box and no less than two mags would be nice. I missed one over the holidays that I was driving when the bid ended. One will come around.

Not a clue....lots of police markings out there.

Thanks I tried to get a photo to attach with no luck on the original post. Just not that tech savy or to old of computer.
