S&W 3rd Gen Semi Autos

[1775usmarine]

I'm on hiatus since the model 10 purchase and our upcoming cruise. Been eyeing a Leo turn in 64 but need to actually sell things before buying. Also need to start assembling the 5906 lower and stripping the 469 slide to prepare for coating.

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.

There's a 3906 on gunbroker again... $525 Buy it now

Sorry for the slow response...was rushing off to GB.

That is one well scuffed 3906. Could be a project gun. In my watch list. Thanks for heads up!

I have two pistols on order and just bought an AR from the classies here so it'll need to go near the starting price. That price would justify a trip back to the mothership for a refinish or a local bead blast; assuming the internals are in better shape than the exterior.

EDIT: same seller has a 5096 and cs40...

Or chance it with the no reserve battle. That 639 looks to be a good no reserve battle, just put your max and let it ride.

I'm hoping to get the 5926 that ends later today. Hard to find the Sig style decocker guns these days. I passed on a 6926 a few weeks back, who knows when another one shows up.

That 639 has expired at least twice without a bid. Might have to prioritize...only so many new guns can come into the house since I "reduced" the inventory a number of years ago. Yea - that's not working so well...

How many 639's did they make? I seem to remember not many.

 

[mcapo]

Not sure. They had an 82 to 88 run so I am guessing they made a fair number of them. I like the look of the 2nd gens but the 3rd ergonomics are better. Better, as far as, heavy bricks can be ergonomic.

There is another auction for a 639 early(er) model round guard that I would probably prefer. We will see how they go.

Fair enough. Guess I didn't want that 5926 bad enough. Or, I'm getting cheap with 3rd Gens and how much I want to spend.

I saw only one bidder - thought it was you...That rare one would have fit right into your collection. My stuff is all common Joe's...

There were a couple of bidders, I just don't need to spend that much money on a gun right now. I'm probably better off looking at some 45ACP guns, as I don't have any full size ones in the collection

 

[mcapo]

The 3rd gen 45s are definitely nice shooters especially the full size. Have you shot your CS45 yet?

I haven't had a chance yet, keep forgetting to throw it in the range box when I go.

my first 9mm was a 5906, I loved that thing, wish I never traded it!

They're easy to find for a reasonable price these days, if you want another one. Plus, once your in the 59xx mags, you've got a bunch of guns they run in.

 

[kscessnadriver]

4566, anyone have one, shot one? There's one on the auction site with a BIN that's reasonable to me, considering its a TSW.

 

[mcapo]

4566, have one, shot it. Kept it. Mine is not a TSW.

 

[01deuce]

A couple different guys at work have 915's. What is the going rate for them?

 

[mcapo]

$200 to $600. $600 would be LNIB. $250 Surplus. Just a nice 95%+ example $350 to $450ish.

 

[mcapo]

Hey, Cessna, are you looking at this? If not, I might see if it stays cheap for a 10 mm project. If you are looking, have at it, I've been on underfunded buying spree this month anyway...
