I loved carrying her as a sidearm in the field, but she's a bit "thick" to carry concealed, imo.

I've put tens, maybe hundreds, of thousands of rounds through her the past 19 years, cleaning meticulously after each firing, and light oil on the action/rails and recoil spring once a month whether fired or not, and the only time I have issues with jams are with cheap ammo or reloads.

Is it possible the 3-point jams come from a messed-up spring in the magazine? Sometimes the mags get stored with rounds in them for years at a time (sitting in someone's nightstand or glovebox untouched), and form a "spring-memory". Just a guess, but it may save some $$ if you try a "new" mag before shipping her back to the factory.

Either way, enjoy the 5906...she's a workhorse, and an under-rated one at that!
