Early 5906, stepped frame, square guard, adjustable sights. The 5906 had a steel frame and some nice heft. She's not mint, but in VGC. Enjoy  |

Great nightstand or range gun, but nicknamed the boat anchor for a reason.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Great nightstand or range gun, but nicknamed the boat anchor for a reason. Respectfully disagree. This one is as smooth shooting and accurate as a 9mm can be, and we're blessed to have a safe full of examples of most all modern handguns, steel and polymer. IMO, these things were the true state of the art. |

I've been shooting my Glocks more than anything lately. Grabbed my 4026 out of the safe today and nearly dropped it. I forgot how heavy that thing was. Definitely makes it more fun to shoot.

I've managed to pick up three 5903s over the last month for me and my boys. I love 3rd gen Smiths.

I have several gen 3 Smith semi automatics. I wish I knew where to find some police trade in's at a reasonable price. I think they are great pistols.

Here's mine. It was my High School graduation present. Bought new in 1989.
Mine came in a cardboard box. Still got it. |

I had a performance center 4006.
I was a fool and sold it. I miss it every time one of you bastards bring up 3rd gen S&W autos. Please stop.

Just picked up a 5946 last week.
From what I've researched, looks like it was made around 1994. I've ordered some wolff springs to lighten up the trigger and some square grips. |

When it comes to revolvers S&W wins hands down. But for autos, Glock is still the "state of the art". |
