S&W 3rd Gen Semi Autos

Seen some Royal Canadian 5946's walking around while here waiting to come back to the states.

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?

I'd probably see if you can find at least another factory 40S&W barrel before you attempt anything with the one you've got.

When I'm in NYC, I occasionally see an officer in the airport with a 5946 there as well.

Also, now I remember why I generally don't buy from private sellers on gunbroker, as boy is it a hassle sometimes.

 

[mcapo]

Yep. Last private seller didn’t put his ID in the shipment.

Have a few inquiries out looking for a CS40 barrel. Nothing yet.

I've had my FFL email the seller their license a couple times now and he doesn't claim to get it. It's frustrating beyond belief.

I suspect you have or have access to a plane? Show up and walk it to the FFL. Lol!

That's not a half bad idea. If he doesn't get it on this email, I'll just mail the damn thing for the FFL from their place to the guy.

For a 915 sure I would buy but not a 910 too much plastic.

Expanded the SW 3rd gen family by one 5906 tonight. Probably paid too much and I never really believe the LNIB hype but hoping it’s a good one.

Life's too short to put up with a crappy trigger. Birds Away

Finally got the seller sorted out, my 4566TSW is finally on the way to my FFL

 

[mcapo]

Nice! Restores my faith that 99.9% of the people are conscientious.

I have wood grips on my 4566...want them? LOL!

 

[mcapo]

PC 4563 CQB, PC 5906 IDPA, 6906, 2206, 39-2 Nickel

That's a nice price on a 6906, if the condition is as stated.

Finally got my 469 slide assembly and parts kit. My Franken gun now spans across generations.

Status update? Just curious.

Status update? Just curious.

Haven't done anything yet. We went on vacation a few weeks back so was focused on not spending any money on gun stuff. Once I sell a few things laying around and get properly motivated I will get the slide refinished and start polishing the frame areas to slick it up.

Right now I plan on running it stock, or maybe finding NOS grips for it, if I can. Probably my last purchase for a while, unless some real rare bird shows up cheap

 

[mcapo]

...Probably my last purchase for a while....

Funniest statement I’ve read in a long time.

If anyone is looking at the 457's on GB I have a bid on one that starts sub $250. I showed my wife the ad and it being my birthday
yesterday she said I could bid. I asked her what the max would be as I told her what I paid on the 1st on and she gave me a limit. I'm not sure if this is a test or a blessing to bid?

 

[mcapo]

Well, Happy Birthday, young man!

My guess is she is setting a MINIMUM expenditure level for her birthday.
