What is the general thinking on these guns?

It seems like it would be a good plinker,range gun, and if need be a decent BUG.

Also, how does it compare in size to a Sig P6?  I thought the P6 is a good gun, but still a little bit big for a BUG.  

Thanks.

I have a 469, the predecessor of the 6906. Despite what some folks say about the Smith semi-auto pistols, mine has been very reliable and accurate. It's actually a little big for a BUG, with all the newer mini 9's available. They are a very servicable handgun and are to be found at reasonable prices.

I think third gen smiths are waaaaay underrated anymore. Yeah sure, there are newer tacticool weapons out there, but a 6906 is a great gun. Stainless slide, alloy frame, good double action first shot, hi-cap.... what's not to love? I personally think their R&D did a great job. Good feeling weapon.

HIGHLY UNDERATED...

Get it..enjoy it....
I have owned one since 1988 and I have never any issues.

I also own a few glocks.

But those Smiths for whatever reason are UNDER RATED
amongst the gun crowd.

The S&W 6906 is an excellent pistol.. It's not a "bug", but is not hard to conceal in an iwb.

Get yourself a couple of S&W +2 grip extenders and you can use the 15rd 5906 mags..

Best Wishes,

Jesse

I have one. The recoil and trigger pull is not something you would proud of but it is reliable, just need to change the recoil spring after few thousand rounds.
