They look good. A little on the high end for me but I would buy.

I have an itch for a nice 3913 that I don't think these would scratch but they do look nice.

I havent seen many 3913's on gb as of late.

You are right, seems like more LS's than regular 3913's these days. Opposite what it was 8-10 months ago - wierd.

I see it come and go in waves with almost all 3rd gens, except the 5906's. Magazines havent seen too many 4506 mags and use to see them all the time.

I picked up 3 more mags for my 4006TSW this week. Robertson’s Trading Post on Gun Broker had them 3 for $57, which comes out to $19 apiece. That’s not a bad price now that the supply is beginning to dry up. They shipped quickly and look to be in really nice shape.

Nice! Thanks for the head's up!
I'm going to look for another mag tonight myself now.
I haven't been in a hurry to get another mag thinking it would be like the 5906: plenty abound.

Found an armslist ad for a 3906 w/5 mags for 580 in South Bend. Seriously considering sending him a text with pics of an AR to see if he bites. Might be getting a 6906 spurless hammer sent to me so I can finish my 5906ssv frankengun as the spurless hammer I have is a 2nd gen hammer with half cock notch. I had some time to mess with putting it together and realized thats why everything would lock up when put back together.

Must of bumped it back up then. Dont remember him looking for trades and I think the price was higher.

Yep. That’s the one that one that I walked away from a few months ago. Been for sale for a long time. He had said it was NIB. I drive to meet him and found it’s far from NIB and guy just gave me a bad feeling. First deal I’ve walked away from.

Funny cause I was going send a pic of an AR and scope and see if he bites. Then see if you had your 3rd gen still and make the trade lol

That could have potential. The 3906 isn't trashed but we had a text conversation and a phone call in which I very specifically asked about the condition. When I saw that he had misrepresented it, I was done. Plus, I got a bad vibe. Had he represented it as decent gun with some handling and use, it probably would have been a deal.

It looks pretty nice from the picture how bad of condition could it have been or were your expectations just that it was flawless?

The original ad stated it was NIB as was his personal representations to me. The pictures in the ad have change. I would guess the original ad had internet pics.

As I said, the gun isn’t in terrible shape.

The seller was not even phased when I said he misrepresented it. Basically he said something to the effect of “that’s cool. I understand. Want to make me an offer?”. Then the red flags go up and it’s easier to walk than buy something that might come with repercussions.

It’s been for sale for a long time at a price that is tough to find a 3906 at. The last few on GB sold between $550 and $750.

Edit. One sold for $425 too.

I'm working on a fixture to convert ambi-safeties to one side only. I just bought 3 of the 6909's from Aim and they're sweet pistols, but need the starboard side cleared!

Also have the tooling to convert to decock-only, so it doesn't get bumped into Safe. S&W used to offer that as a service, but I'm pretty sure they don't anymore. My method uses the stock safety, so no new parts!

And the south bend 3906 is either sold or removed

You might be able to find 910 or 908 single sided safeties but if I recall they are blued.
