[ARCHIVED THREAD] - AIM has S&W 5906 police trade ins for $329

Posted: 10/22/2014 5:23:05 PM EDT

Not for me but thought I'd share with the hive.

S&W 5906

Update: And SOLD OUT. Didn't last too long.

Ed's Pawn in Georgia may still have some for $259. Had some 6906's too, but I can't recall the price on them.

ETA: Crap AIM's are the Tac model, that's pretty darn good.

Third Gen Smith > Sig Sauer P-series

Steel > alumisuck
1/4 Less levers per square inch
Awesome short and fast trigger reset
Not a beretta
Many variants
Look cool
More accurate
Don't rust if you look at them funny
Don't chew up frame rails
Balanced

I'm sure if you're patient you can still get one...

4506-1

5926

4006 TSW

4566 TSW

Model 59

I've wanted a TSW for awhile now, but have always shied away from the $500+ they seem to go for. Now that someone has them at a reasonable price, I'm tapped. My gun fund for the next few months was deplenished recently by a 3914 Lady Smith and a 4506-1.

ETA: Apparently the TSW's are all gone now.

I bought a 5906 a few months ago and other than not saying "tactical" on the slide it appears to be the same thing.

Each TSW series pistol has a frame and slide machined as a matched set after the heat treat process. These two components stay together throughout the manufacturing process to deliver a pistol with exacting tolerances for reduced friction, longer life, enhanced accuracy, and reliable functioning. A reversible magazine catch puts the release under the thumb of both left and right handed shooters. Each Smith & Wesson TSW pistol contains a barrel with a fixed barrel bushing and is housed in a frame and slide that features larger, reconfigured rails for greater stability and durability. The full length rails on the frames and sliders feature tigher tolerances for increased accuracy. Accuracy is also enhanced by a tighter lock up and longer unlocking delay. The delayed-unlock firing system produced less "felt" recoil and enables the shooter to return to the target quicker.

Any more coming Bryan?

Very well-built, reliable guns. I just can't stand the stupid safety/decocker on the slide.

It's all what you get used to. I haven't met a handgun yet that didn't have at least one thing I'd change. Although not as prevalent, there are some versions that have a frame mounted decocker sort of like a Sig. The designation for those is XX26.

I would of jumped on one of those if they were 5903s.

Why do I keep buying guns I don't need?

AIM is like my local crack house....

I'm not in love with magazine disconnects, but I can live with it. And maybe a gunsmith can disable it.

Much better than the Beretta design in regards to inadvertent engagement. And much easier to go to decock only.

Those were all over the place this summer. More so than trade in 5906's

Summit still has some 4006's and 410's.

I have a few that don't have the rails, whatever police officer had them, he removed his rail, and we never received the rails.

One of the best buys anywhere. These guns will do the job.

I have a 5906, carried it for my first few years on the job. Great shooter.

How did Smith go from really nice triggers in these to crap triggers in the new M&P line........

The disconnector is a little T shaped part that the long end makes a J, you cut/ grind/file down the left side of the T untill it no longer contacts the Ejector/mag safety.
If you take your slide off you will see the ejector that rides along the left side of the hammer, put a magazine in the mag well and you will see the ejector rides up on the feedlips. When you push the ejector down, it also pushes the T-J shaped disconnector down so the trigger bar will not line up with the sear. Pull your grip off and take out the pins/ plate and you can get the sear/ hammer/ mainspring etc out and the T-J shaped disconnector will come out but you have to shift the J part of it off the Trigger bar.

I used a Dremel cut off wheel to cut the left branch of the T off almost flush with the stem, then used a grinding stone to finish the job. I have done 3 of them in 5906 and 1 in the 4006 and 4516, no problems so far.

Here is a nice picture of a Disconnector about halfway down the page.

I had a 4006 and sold it. It would have been a nice complement to the 5906TSW I just got.

Looks pretty good. Some holster wear, but the bore looks very clean. I haven't shot it yet.
