SW 3906 new to me

[3rdgenfriend]

Been a while since I posted...but just had to share.

I just happened to be in my LGS a month ago, and low and behold I noticed a 3906 on consignment in the display for $450.00...I was interested and told the store clerk that I would take it today for $350.00. He immediately called the consignor with my offer and he accepted my offer !! I asked if there was a box or anything with it. He went to the stock room and came back with a nylon carry case with...get this...10 3906 magazines !! A total of 11 mags...what a score and the pistol was in pretty good shape. Shoots amazing. Really excited to have this great piece...for $350.00 it was like getting a free pistol with the magazines...truly lucky with this purchase. Also, seems like in my neck of the woods, the 1-3 gens are drying up...

Ho-lee smokes: you did good! What a great find and nice bargaining there, amigo! Really neat - thanks for checking in to tell us about it.

That’s ludicrous. The seller has absolutely no idea about the used gun market. Excellent purchase.

Your pistol was somewhat later in the short run the 3906 had. I say this based on my two 3906’s — one of them has an upgraded (left over) 2nd Gen slide whereas my later gun has a 3rd Gen slide like yours.

Neat guns that did not have much of a following back when they were in production.

Wow! I gotta get back to the Cape. (Although airfare from Seattle might offset any bargains I might find there.)

I looked a long time for a 3906 and finally settled for a 3904. Ya did real good!

What an incredible deal! I am envious. Heck of a score.

So basically you bought 8 magazines and got a free pistol with two magazines. Helluva deal!

Exactly !! With great humility and appreciation, I realize that I am very fortunate. This 3906 has a good home, and I get to share this great piece of history with friends and relatives...life is definitely good !

I should have never let mine go��

$35 per mag and pistol was free.

I have a 3906, bought it in 1989. Use it for my Duty weapon. No problems, I really like it.

It's been raining here so why not go to the range....This is a better representation of my lucky find...also pictured my 4044...both need TLC but have character...and shoot great !
