S&W 3rd Gen Semi Autos

I have a NIB 4506-1. Would love another one.

I should have mentioned something when I was buying grips, but Midway has straight factory 1006/66/86/4563/66/83/86 grips in stock again. Just replaced my 4566TSW houge grips with them, much nicer.

Price?

 

[kscessnadriver]

Price?

They had them, guess they’re out of stock now. Was $18.79

 

[1775usmarine]

Not a bad price. I prefer the straight back grips over the curved.

Darn. I need to replace the wood grips on my 4566.

I might have a spare set of grips not sure if curved or straight and I think they may be a bit worn.

Thanks but its not big deal. It is on my gun show list though I never go to shows anymore. Really hadn't though much about till KS mentioned it.

I've been a little too focused on CZs lately...

This might be a repeat but my 5906 came in last Friday that was suppose to be LNIB. It may actually be that nice. Even the box is near new. I might have to buy a shooter grade 5906 now.

What was your cost on that 5906? Might as well get a second while they still can be found for under 350. I usually buy 3rd Gen parts at the shows even if I sent need it. I figure if I can get it cheaper enough keep as a spare or flip it.

I am at $616 all in. That's pretty deep for a 5906 but low mileage ones are tough to find. Not quite the $850 the TSW's sold for at Sportsman whatever the name...but it is mine and I don't look backwards on prices anymore. Buy and move on. My 3rd gen list is down to 3 plus 2 2nd gens.

All of those fine firearms that you own, and you must have a potato for a camera ! MM shakes head !

However, that does look like a fine example of a METAL gun ..... which is where I seem to find pleasure anymore.

Adjustable sights and round trigger guard I would say you got a deal. I wouldn't be surprised if the next 100 serials after yours had novaks.

Ehhh...that's the GB photo....too lazy to get it out and take a picture. The safe is almost ten feet away.

Next GTG; I'll bring a couple to rekindle your memories. The triggers are definitely duty rated but dang do they shoot nice! Hopefully, I will have the CS40 converted to 10 mm by then. I will have "special" MM rounds for ya!

Maybe we need a SW Third Gen Shoot and Show in the northern part of the state. I think between the posters and the watchers; we have a pretty good number around here.

MM - You want to know something that will make you shake your head? Well...my oldest daughter...well. She is a professional photographer and a graphic design artist for the past decade. $1000's and $1000's of dollars of camera and editing software and I use crappy cell phone pictures and stolen images from the seller.

 

[MindfulMan]

Well, but your heart is in the right place .... in the safe with your guns !

Ah yes, I'm looking forward to the next GTG, and whatever you bring.

Ended up winning a complete 3913 slide last night. Now I can sell of the 915 & 469 slides and decide if I want to sell of the parts I don't use in the lower. I'll probably have my gun shop bead blast the slide depending on how it looks in-person.

 

[mcapo]

So...I think I've lost track - does that give you all the parts for an SSV?

Yep except the slide won't be blued as planned.

Well, when you post a pre-assembly picture, make sure it is well staged. It is a tough crowd around here.

I've had no complaints on my cell phone pics thus far.

Sold both 915 & 469 slides on the smith forum to 2 people in CA.
