S&W 3rd Gen Semi Autos

[1775usmarine]

Picked up this 457 with 1 mag for $374.50 at Copper Custom. Was a bit worried for the background check but I passed with flying colors. This makes 457 number 3. Have a 457s and 2 of these now. Guess one for me and the kids when they're old enough.

Took some time over the weekend to work on my 4567 project, got the frame carry beveled and reblasted. My slide machining should be done any time now.

Thanks, once I get the slide back and cleaned back up i'll get it cerakoted and then I can get it back together. The slides been away for awhile but at least I can get the frame ready and put back together.

A bunch of 3913's on gb. Looks to all be imports from the few I looked at. For the condition not worth the prices but it is what it is.

So who will be first to mount a red dot as Gabe explained?

Good to see videos being made about the 3rd gens still

Guns.com had some used LE 3906 mags for 37.00/ea so I was able to pick up four, not a bad price.

3rd gens on gb are a bit far and few these days.

Snagged the 745 with 3 mags w box and papers from zionsville today. Trigger is as good as my ruger mk2 I upgraded. Virtually no take up and of course that wonderful short reset, a tad bit shorter than my other 3rd gens.

That’s always been on my short list but never seem to stumble into the right one.

Congrats!!

Will have to contact smith and get a production year of course. Definitely a 95% firearm and can't wait to put it up against my 4506-1.

Looking for a decent shooter grade 3904/3906 if you stumble upon one

Gb is your best bet. They didn't make too many during their production run.
