S&W 3rd Gen Semi Autos

[MindfulMan]

Was a certain snowy day on the west side of Indy that convinced me I needed one!

Ah, yes, I remember that day ! I didn't bring mine that day, so you must have shot another. Let me guess ..... ChrisK's ?

So that my post has some respectful S&W 3rd generation love ..... let me say that many moons ago I carried a 410 as a duty weapon for a security company. We needed some extra cash, so I worked two 12 hours shifts on the weekends. I didn't have the money for the top-tier 3rd generation, but the 410 was a fine weapon. If I saw one again (in pristine condition !), I would probably buy it in a heartbeat !

I did the same thing. The picture with the model number is a little hazy for me to make out which it is. If it truly is a 3906 I would take 50 off for the wrong mags or try to find the right ones.

It is a 5906...per the seller.

"Only" a 40SW? That seems a pretty anemic round for your tastes. LOL! I don't see too many really nice 410's for sale but seems like the 457's have been available lately. You need a baby Smith to go with your big boy revolver...

The measly .40 is appropriate defense against a gaggle of midgets with mayhem on their mind !

That's what he told me as well.

I had seen it as well, and being a 3906, had it on my watch list! I was confused when I went on tonight and I had a 5906 on the watch list.

As soon as I seen the mags he had listed after clicking the link I knew something was wrong.

Not sure if this is of any interest with you guys, but I've picked a couple of these range cases up recently. Thought I'd take a picture with some S&W's in it. It's an MTM Tactical Pistol Case 6, capable of holding 6 guns. Neat set up, great for going to the range with a number of handguns in a single case.

Hmm...I've been looking for something like that. Hoosier45 has some Caseclubs but they are $$$.

Optics Planet has them for $39.89 right now, but they can be found at most big gun accessory retailers. https://www.opticsplanet.com/mtm-tactical-pistol-handgun-case.html

For $40...I am going to order a couple of the MTM's but I provided a link if any of you need a birthday idea for me?

Those are nice looking cases. I imagine they would be quite heavy with 15 handguns in them as well.

Yankee Artifacts

About 3/4 of the way down. Maybe not pristine but a nicely priced 410.

Nice find .... thanks !
I'm at the cabin for a few days. Might have to give them a call when I return.

I've got a 411, regret not picking up a 410S when I had the chance.

There's a real rare bird on gunbroker I see. 4505, blued version of the 4506, 1 year of production. Neat gun, but I'm not sure it's worth what they want.

Pretty sweet but not sure it is in 945 pricing territory...

Oh I agree completely. I see a lightly used one sold a few months back for $755. I could see maybe paying a couple hundred more for NIB, but certainly not over $1000 for it.

 

[1775usmarine]

I would go tops 1100 being only 1200 were made and who knows how many are left in circulation. Don't see 4505's that often

 

[kscessnadriver]

Anyone have anything new recently? I'm running out of cool 3rd Gen's to pick up I'm afraid, or the ones I want are $$$. Picked up the 2206 I bought on gunbroker yesterday, neat little gun. Will go well with the 2214.

 

[mcapo]

Nope. I’ve been chasing around a 639 “LNIB” but the seller won’t come off his Buy it Now price enough. Was $675. Now $650.

Ordered a Glock 34 today but that’s hardly a classic all metal SW auto loader.
