Funny coincidence, I wasn't particularly looking for a 1006 but I found a good buy on one at the last Wannenmacher Gun Show.
Being weak, I bought it.
It had Hogue wooden grips on it, which at first made me think it was a 2nd Gen until I looked closer.
It was
REALLY HARD to get the slide off & back on again when I inspected it before I agreed to buy it. I thought it might be a fitting issue & decided to buy it in spite of that.
Short story, it turned out that the Hogue wooden grips were causing the whole problem. When you disassemble/assemble the slide on the frame the ejector lever has to be pushed down fully, which forces the draw bar rearward past the edge of the grip frame.
The wooden grips were not trimmed enough to let it freely move, so the bar barely went back enough (& lever down enough), causing the slide to drag on the lever, rather than moving smoothly.
A new set of rubber Hogues fixed that.
Now my 1076 has a big brother to look up to.
