If they produced the pistol in its classic form, that would sell like hotcakes.

Or do both. I'd love to get a proper 5906TSW done properly instead of that bolted on MIM rail trash they gave us civilians because only LEOs were good enough for a forged rail.

Here are two of my 3d Gens. The 40 TSW CHP pistol is very nice.

My first 9x19, a 6904. April, 1989

My father bought two S&W Model 66’s in the 70’s at Southeastern Public Safety Supply, I was with him and I now have one of those 66’s. I also shopped there for much of my job related gear for a long time. I carried a 6906 and a 3913 for many years in the 80’-90’s. Pretty cool to see you bought from there as well. Brought back memories. I shot in many shooting tournaments with that 6906 and better vision and always placed top 3 or better which isn’t bad for those Gen 3’s. Wish I still had them. Only one I have now is a 1006.

I've got a Shorty Forty & a 4013tsw that I don't spend enough time with.

Most of my easily available gun pics have steaks in them. Sorry.

My magazine order from Robertson's Trading Post arrived. The Mec-Gars fit well, but they have about 1/10th of an inch gap between pinky rest and grip frame. The models apparently made for an overseas contract are identical to the one that came with my 6906. They fit just as well as the factory mag. Might get to shoot with them next week; I trust they all will be outstanding but hopefully the Mec-Gars won't bite my pinky.

But first, I need to get some more range use ammo.

If I had enough disposable income, a 5906 with adjustable sights would be in my 9mm harem. I would even live with the stupid magazine disconnector. I just hear the Reservoir Dogs music every time I see one of these.
