S&W 3rd Gen Semi Autos

[99zhuggerz99]

Not to take away from the general idea of this thread...but just curious. Had the opportunity to check out a 4506 today. seems early as is not a -1, no black hammer/trigger. it has zero holster wear that I can find. The guy knew I had a 5906 so pretty sure he is tempting me....by way of asking what its worth.

he never offered to sell, but if i could sneak it into conversations; whats the going rate? has original box as well!!

If it's got papers and 2 mags looking at 625. No papers and less than 2 mags 550.

ACME from Seymour at the 1500 had a pretty nice 639 for 425.00 if anybody needs one, saw a pretty nice older 39 as well for 399.00 but I can't remember where that was (not the dealer with all the junky guns, they had some but not as nice and for more $$)

Boy kinda quiet on the 3rd gen front. Ended up buying a trigger return spring and 2 rivets to replace the broken one on my 4506. Will probably have someone better trained than me do this one.

Havn't had a chance to shoot the new-to-me 5906 yet, but I always check out this thread. One question; do the single stack varieties have a narrower grip? I don't have little hands, but I do seem to prefer a narrower grip. Bought a Ruger 1911 advertised as a Commander model, but received an Officers model (single stack). I could have returned it, but it feels perfect to my hand. Havn't shot it yet either. I need to get busy.

I had a Ruger 1911 Officers 9mm model. Loved it!
The first time I shot it was a perfect bulls-eye, then, of course, I proceeded to shoot all around it.
Not only was it accurate, it fit the hand well.
If it would have been a higher capacity gun, I would have kept it, but I had a Sig Sauer 365 at the time with 12 rounds, so I decided I didn't need it.
It could be one I wish I'd kept. It took me months to find a used Ruger 1911 Officers model for only $600 from a member here.

I have been thinking of getting some wood grips for my 5906, but I remember when I researched it awhile back (I'd have to go and look at my previous posts), that I wasn't sure which direction to go.

The single stacks are narrower. If you want I can bring the 457 I've been trying to sell for you to see how it feels tomorrow. I won't be staying after since my cousin has to go to work at 430 and she would like a nap.

Im watching both of those.....i might wait till the last hr and try a bid. Will probably figure the 3%, ship and transfer to come up with a bid that makes a nice round number.

The seller is moving them but rather slowly. The only difference I can see is condition and either one would work for me.
