Shawn; you may be thinking of the 910. I had an early 915 and it had steel sights, a steel guide rod and magazine release. As have all the 915's I have handled since. Mine did not have Novak sights, just a simple blade rear and a white dot front. The frame seemed to have less milling and the finish was not as nice as the 5904. But it was a great shooter and a great value (and not "cheap" in anyway).
