New (to me) 3906

[OldLawman]

Recently picked up a very nice condition 3906 off the forum. I have always had a soft spot for 3rd Gen. guns.

Mine went off to my friends at Novak's for a duty action/reliability/carry bevel package, along with the installation of a Novak rear sight and removal of the trigger guard hook.

Got a sneak peek picture before the application of the Novak logo. Now just searching for some more magazines and gathering spare parts before they disappear.

They were only made for 3 years. I bought mine when were still being made. I like it so much better than those "pregnant" looking 5906's. Don't see much press or threads on them.....I don't worry about spare parts....It will outlast me.

That is in beautiful condition, OLD LAWMAN !!

Mine is not as pretty as yours and I may send to get refinished but, I was fortunate to even Find one of these in my LGS no Less... I got mine for a steal and It came with ten Mags in a red mag carry case. Please post a pic when completely finished. Thanks 3GF

Hendersonville eh , weren't you guys hit hard by the storm . Family and myself have spent many a vacation in Maggie Valley . Hope you and yours came out ok .

do all 3 years have the hook?

 

[OldLawman]

I think that all the 3900 series had the hook. Not that many out there compared to the other models.

We were hit hard, but not as bad as many others.
Thanks for asking.

I think all 3904's and 3906's had the long, hooked trigger guard. I guess that production of the 3904/06 receivers ended around the time S&W switched to the long, rounded trigger guard.

Not exactly. The 3913/3914 doesn't have it. At least my examples do not.

My 3904 does have the hook and my older 5903 has it too.

Here it is back from Novak's. Hook on trigger guard removed, Novak rear sight, duty tune, carry bevel.

I really like what you had done.

I wonder if they’d work on a 645 or 4566?

That is about as practical and nice a 9mm pistol as anyone could want. I have an older 639 (rounded trigger guard) that I just last week had out of hiding to shoot a bit. It took a few rounds for me to acclimate to the trigger, but after that I was pleased. Congrats on your very nice 3906.

Yes they do.

I wasn't aware Novak was still working on 3rd Gens.

That’s a great pistol that will always go unappreciated.
