I wonder if 669 grips and back strap would make my 6906 a little narrower, and easier for my pretty average sized hands to operate.
I'd love to make it narrower and easier to reach the trigger.
I could actually use it as a carry piece.
And, I really want to use it as a carry piece.

Actually, they would, but not by much.
I've already tried that (669 grips on a 6906) and I tried it again this gloomy afternoon.
BTW, you need to trim a little off the rear nubs on the back side of the side panels to make them fit. (Curiously, when installing 669 grips on a 3914, nothing on the side panels needs to be trimmed.)
I also found that the 669 backstrap fit better on the 6906 with the little curved metal strip that mounts on the stud inside the backstrap removed (S&W calls it the "stock retaining spring").
Bottom line, you will be 1.45mm (less than 1/16") thinner.
By comparison, the 669 grips on the 3914 shaved 3.45mm (almost 9/64") off the grip width compared to the 3rd gen grips.
But you won't know how it feels to you unless you try.

I also like the idea of the DAO conversion.
My 5946 is probably my favorite 9mm pistol.

Unfortunately, any DAO conversion will probably not give you a trigger as good as your 5946.
