original post:

I noticed a S&W 1046 on a popular sales site, have not seen one for sale in many years..

Well, considering there were only 151 of them made?

Money is irrelevant for a few but value remains constant. Would you drop two-large on a DAO 10mm?

Watching! Curious to see what someone is willing to pay for such a scarce 10mm 3rd Gen.
Current bid is enough to buy a 1006 and a whole bunch of ammo.

If I wanted it bad enough in my collection, yes.

Hey, thanks for the heads-up, Aegis! First time I've ever laid eyes on a 1046, even in photos. I like it!

I'll definitely be watching for the next couple of weeks. Shoot, if I have any money left after buying toilet paper this week, I might even bid on it!

My guess it will go for 3500-4K

Its at just over 2,500 now

I'll throw a guess out there. I'll bet it sells for $3,800-$4,300.

Wish I had enough cash where a purchase like that wouldn't hurt.

I wonder how much my 1086 would sell for now? It’s not quite in as good shape as that 1046 is. It was already used when I bought and used to carry it on occasion but it still looks pretty decent. I wonder if I could get $1K for it? They made about 1800 of them IIRC.

Yes, you could get a grand for your 1086, not a problem.

1K easily (IMHO) for a 1086. There has been one on the popular auction several several times but it has never sold. I did notice seller reduced the price slightly this last time.

Given the recent financial news I wonder if the seller picked exactly the wrong time to try to sell?

A dollar over $3,000 and still ten days left on the bidding.

My thoughts exactly...I would have waited until better times..

Model 1086 have been selling around 1K there is one on the big site now and it has not sold. It has been listed for a couple of months or more..reduced 50 bucks recently..

Now at 3125...

Now just shy of $4500?...Climb Baby Climb...

Awesome! Congrats Jetpilot. I'm sure you're watching closely

At the price its at now with four days remaining on bids, whosoever winds up buying this thing, deserves to. I love collecting S&W vintage automatics and the most I've ever paid was 1K for an FBI 1076 and even then there was buyer's regret.

Some folks have more money than they have sense.

$5225 selling price. Wow.

The 1046 sold for 5225.00
This one was in good condition no box one magazine.. This is the first one to sell in a few years..

Wow. At this rate they'll be worth 7k in another 5 years.

What anything is 'worth' is what someone is willing to plunk down to have it. In this case some fool dropped 5200-bucks on a single-stack 10mm DAO. The value they got was around a 400-dollar used pistol. And by fool I mean the old adage about a fool and his money. Wealthy or not, he got exactly what he deserved to get.

Considering there were only 151 of them made I'm not surprised it brought that kind of change.

I have a 5967, only around 500 were made. I paid 350 bucks for it I think I paid what its value is. I've seen other Lew Horton models that only 300 were made all of them less than 900 bucks. I understand that collectability of an item drives its price. I cannot fathom a rational person dropping five large on a used pistol of no historic relevance. My brother recently purchased an East German police P08 luger made in 1914 for 1,000. He always wanted a classic luger and that was the nicest shape one that was priced within reach. It had a ton of history behind it. It was worth 1000 bucks to him because he'd wanted one for years and years but the prices were insane. I know that luger collecting is a pursuit of the wealthy. But the 1046 doesn't have the iconic gravitas the P08 has. I purchased an FBI 1076. I paid 1K for it. Even then I had buyer's regret to an extent. So you can say that what some men desire most makes them pay sometimes more than is reasonable and I can agree with that. A spur of the moment choice at a gunshow or gunshop, we've all had those. But this was like a two week auction as such was a train wreck in slow motion, they could have stepped off the train at any point but rode it all the way to the stop.
