Default 5906 PC IDPA & 4563 CQB

Well, I just wanted to see what the 5906 PC IPDA looked like since I was in the neighborhood, and ended up walking home with it and another little gem I found nestled away in the corner.

Both pistols have original box and all documents.

Unfortunately I broke the bank, but hey, this beats hanging out every Friday night in a bar drinking!!!

The CQB came with 7 PC mags. Three are stamped with the words Performance Center vs. the 4 round logo- does anyone know why the difference? Never seen PC stamped- Performance Center 45XX mags before.

Man, I -really- need just a single one of those single stack PC marked 4506 mags to mate up with my 845 Limited.

Mine is the slightly less attractive (but more scarce) second run Model of 1998. I got mine used with zero of the original box & etc. So I cannot say definitively whether the second run 845 originally came with those magazines. However, I can say that the first run 845 Limited from Lew Horton did indeed.

Sure would like to swap you something for just a single one of those.

Congrats! Very nice score!

My 4566 PC 45CQB came with one PC marked magazine. My PC Prototype 4563 45CQB also came with one PC marked mag. Same with my Shorty 45 MKII.

So as far as I can tell, it was usually at least one PC marked mag with the PC guns. I wish Grinder was still around. He could probably tell us for sure how many shipped with the guns. Regards 18DAI

Happy for you, spistols! Always nice when such rare pistols can find their way into a Forum member's hands! And with all the goodies too -- wow! Nicely done.

My 845 & Shorty 40 Mk.I came with only one too. I assumed the other one had gotten separated from them.

Great find and catch .

I would be interested in what you paid for the DPA5906 as I have one (DPA00xx) still new in the box... and have no idea of current market value on these PC Guns..

I got it to shoot but by the next season we had our first "Rug Rat" and I didn't have time to drive an hour and a half each way to Sunday matches.

PM me if you like.

By the way, spistols, in case you weren't aware, the 4563 CQB is rarer than the PC 5906 model -- only 211 of the 45's were produced. Here's a thread about the CQB's:

Confirmed production nos. on 45 CQB models

MY Shorty 9s , and SD9 all came with 2 magazines a 12 round and a 15 w/ +2 adapter........ all PC marked.

IIRC my DPA 5906 came with 2 15 round magazines.


I noted that 'spistols" gun like mine is a 2 digit gun..... DPA00xx.........Vigil IIRC there were several small runs of the DPA gun..... do you have any info on how many were built?????

Very nice! I really am "envious" of the 5906PC. Have never seen one but always suspected that if I did I'd buy it!

Only what I read in skjos's fine spreadsheet of the Third Gen PC models, which says 420 of the 4" guns.

I recently picked up my second CQB. The two tone CQC prefix has the Performance Center word spelled out on the mags. The one tone CQB prefix has the round logo on the mags.

What I really want is a 5906 pc. Great find and I hope if you decide to sell it, I see the post first it and can say "I will take it."
