S&W 3rd Gen Semi Autos

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...

Nope, I'm looking at that 4566TSW that ends tomorrow. I'm debating buying a different house right now too, so I'm trying to keep the purchases to a minimum.

I'm only interested if the price stays low...

I can't believe it's not higher than that already to be honest.

 

[kscessnadriver]

I figured no way would I get that 4566TSW, judging by what they had been selling for in the past, but sure enough, I won the thing.

Nice! I’m about to “win” the CS40 or stop bidding.

If you won that, you did a heck of a job getting it for that price. For a little wear it went cheap.

Well...I got the 40. You got a 45. Who gets the 9 tonight?

Little more than I wanted to spend but I’ll get it and evaluate it for refinish or 10mm conversion.

I know I’m getting in the conversation late. 5906 all the way!!!! One the first handguns I ever purchased. Wouldn’t part with it for anything. Still shoots like a new one. Pic in my pictures.

That'll be a pocket rocket.

10mm, no doubt. Did you see the guy who took a 4013 and converted it to 10mm on the S&W forum?

5906 is on my short list which shrunk by one tonight. :-)

Pocket Rocket. Yea. I’m leaning in that direction since it’s has some holster wear and no box. Plus everyone needs a 3” 10 mm.

I’ve watched a couple threads over the years and I think they have the details worked out.

I've got that CS45, but its blued. I'd really rather have stainless models, I guess that's the next quest

I found that CS45 that I took pics of for you on Gunbroker in FW. One owner box and all with just the slightest of wear.

A few months back I know I just missed a 10mm converted CS40 in the local gun shop. It was a major bummer, but I'm looking forward to this 4566TSW. Probably be the last one in a while.

Probably be the last one in a while.

If I bought another gun every time I said that, I'd have the exact number I have now!

Spent half the night bidding on a 3906 no box. Dropped out at $625. Sold for $630.

The search continues....

You never know. You could have ran it up to $900 before the other guy quit, better to know when you want to stop and do it.

Here is the CS40 that arrived yesterday. The holster wear is obvious but I expected more internal wear. This gun looks like someone bought it, put it in damp leather and left it for 15 years. It is super tight and looks nearly unfired.

My plan was to convert it to 10mm with the factory barrel but now I am thinking that I need to see if I can get a barrel blank or something. Not sure I want to ream out a near new low production CS40 factory barrel?
