The wife and I went out last weekend and did a bit of shooting. I had a lot on my list to accomplish, so I only put 2 mags thru the 5903, just to see how it felt. The pic below is a 4"x6" index card, 2 full mags at 10yds. My shooting is not great, as I haven't shot more than a couple of rounds out of a handgun since March, but I at least managed to keep 'em all on the index card. I love the way the gun feels and shoots though, and its definitely accurate enough.



A couple of questions...

There is an upside down "T" stamped on the trigger guard. I've seen this before, can anyone remind me what it means?

I need to replace the followers in the 3 mags that came with the gun. They are badly worn and will not always lock the slide back. You can see in the pics below that the follower is moving past slide stop, preventing the slide from locking open and also jamming the mag in place. Numerich has both orange and black followers listed for this gun. Which ones are the correct replacement? I only ask because my black follower 59 mags work just fine in this gun.

Thanks!!

I believe the upside down "T" is an inspection mark from the factory and orange followers would be correct for your magazines. Hopefully others can confirm.

From the parts list....

M5903SSV P/N 239440000 MAGAZINE FOLLOWER

That's the orange follower, Midway has stock:

Smith & Wesson Mag Follower S&W 5903TSW 5906TSW - MPN: 239440000

Good idea to freshen up the mag springs too while you're at it...
