Most recent My most recent purchase was a SIG P220 10mm Elite DAO, why? because I already have a 1006 and I can’t find or afford a Bren 10. Oh I also took delivery of my Delta Elite that I had cut down into a bobtailed Delta Commander (this Tuesday). How many 10mm’s are to many? 1-Delta...

It will never the same S&W will probably never start making 3/4th gen pistols again, even if they did it would never the same. I grew up in Toledo, not the biggest of cities, but in the 80's/90's when we went to a gun show we had dealers that had every 3rd gen pistol smith made, every model and...

??? Why would you want to??? Not trying to be a smart alec

3rd. Gen prices???😀🙁 Yeah, price is subjective. I recently gave 950$ for my gently used 1006 I don't remember how much I paid for my first one around 1990 (brand new). But in today's dollars I gave 1200$ for a new DW Razorback 10mm. (Getting DW's galling issues in the bargain), so I would...

I agree I agree a lot of us here are operating on nostalgia. We are the ones that buy there upper end firearms and help keep the legend alive. I hope that the persuit of ever cheaper guns doesn't destroy any of our iconic firearms companies

If I remember correctly If I remember correctly around 1989 when I bought my first 4506 new they were at the deep end of the pool for prices of production autos. When I got on my revolver kick around 2000 I gave over a $1000 each for two performance center 629 hunters. People will pay for good...

It's a shame It's a shame that they don't offer something. I would venture to say that most of the guys here have an appreciation for 1911's and once you dive into that pool you will eventually be looking over the $1000 price range. Heck after I got 3 more magazines for my 1006 I was over the...

Years ago I had friends on the sheriffs dept. that introduced me to S&W autos, they all had many varieties of 3rd. Gens. I have since been through many phase of guns and have come full circle and I am rediscovering S&W autos. Now for my question, am I missing something on S&W's web site? Or are...

938 likes Some of the other things that I like are that it's manual of arms is very similar to a 1911 (sorry I have a affection with 1911's), there is getting to be a following with them and the aftermarket is starting to pickup on it and they are producing parts to customize it, and some Colt...

My experience I have experimented with a number of different sized guns, I finally settled in on a M&P 340 for myself & a Sig 938 for my wife (of course I swap her gun into rotation occasionally). My reason for choosing these small guns was if I can't conceal it anywhere in any dress I end up...

Houge grips Have any of you guys tried Houge wooden grips on a 1006/4506, how did they fit, did the pin fit good, was the finish good. After I get the single action tuned in I might B-B-QUE this gun a little bit. I've been looking at pics of 1006's here and haven't seen any tricked out, is this...

Backing up Backing up to an earlier post. One of my first issues was a failure to feed, so I went out with yellow mags and white mags, factory ammo and reloads, both mags ran factory ammo fine, both mags had FTF with my reloads. Going back to my loading data I was loading long to try and...

Recoil buffer I run a recoil buffer in my 10mm 1911, I don't think that it's a bad idea, just some thing you have to watch, can be trouble if you let it go to the point that it crumbles

Good info Glad to hear that you guys haven't had dependability issues. Thanks for the help in re-familiarizing me with the platform. It has been a long time since I had one. My first pistol was a 4506, second Ruger MK II, Third 1006. I didn't know much about guns back then, it's been a fun ride...

DA/SA I didn't intend on striking a sour note on my second day on the forum by wanting to turn a 1006 into a 1911. I was hoping for the best of both worlds. I do know a thing or two about double action, my daily carry for the past number of years has been a S&W J-frame M&P 340. I do rotate a...
