ANIB 5926!

[OXGNMAN89]

I traded a CZ-75B SA for this pistol. I couldn't pass up the opportunity on owning such a gorgeous 3rd Gen. pistol. It was sitting in someones safe since the early 90's and only has had 50 rounds through it. I ran 2 50rd boxes of 135gr +P Critical Duty through it so far and has functioned flawlessly. Please feel free to share your thoughts and experiences with this model pistol.

Very nice. I own a 5946 and it has been flawless and eats everything.

Here's a couple more pics of it...

Very nice!

I want to try a DAO 3rd gen at some point. Glad you are enjoying yours!

Yeah it's pretty sick, and it is a DA/SA. The decocking lever puts the hammer into a half cock position, so your first DA trigger pull is lighter, and there's no safety

I thoroughly enjoy my 4026, the frame-mounted de-cockers are a good compromise between the slide-mounted fat decocker, and the DAO pistols.

You might want to source the unique parts for this pistol before they all dry up. Things like the sideplate and grips.

Thanks, I missed the frame mounted decocker.

Still, very nice!

Already ordered updated sideplate & Wolff recoil springs and mag springs. Extractor and ejector are next on my list.

That's an incredibly nice piece. I imagine you could put several hundred more through it and still not have a glitch.

I only wish that they had made a single stack compact 9mm version of that.

Hmmmm... Could some of those parts be frankened onto something like a 908 frame?

Interesting. I purchased a 5926 that had been issued to the Chandler, AZ PD. It was in great shape.

I have never seen a 5926, let alone any 3rd gennie, with the model number laser etched on the slide.

Wonder what the story on that is?

 

[BLUEBELLYYANKEE]

I did not notice it before buy mine has the model number etched on the slide also. The slide is also stamped with "SMITH & WESSON" in a different location than where the OP gun is stamped. I picked mine up LNIB a few years ago in Florida. I have never seen a 3rd gen. frame de-cocker that I did not like.

Congratulations. I have a 5906 that I got from a long time friend who is now retired from the CPD. They were transitioning out of the Smith's and he let me buy it. I traded him a Roland JC 120 amp which he donated to his church. It was one of those "feel good" deals.
I don't think I have ever enjoyed a pistol more than this one. I am happy for both of us!

I recently saw a 5906 with the frame mounted decocker, didn't even know they made a side cocker model. Really cool looking too.
