I have one of the earlier 5906's with squared trigger guard and a serial pre-fix of "TES"

Thank you all for the replies they are greatly appreciated. A member here contacted me and we worked out a deal for a safety.:cool:

I have been looking high and low for an ambidextrous safety for a 5906 slide I was rehabbing, but I am finding zero for parts on the secondary markets (Numrich, Midway USA, gunboards, Ebay, etc). I can’t even locate any for a 915 model either. Did all the extras dry totally up?

Per our comms I will take four (4) of the 5906 magazines.

Looking for at least one 10mm mag for my 1006 / 1076. EDIT: Mag located and purchased

I'm also in the "TAR" serial range myself on my 645 (TAR33**). Mine has the total wraparound Pachmayer grip on it currently but I'm chasing a set of nylon OEM S&W grip panels.

As title says I am looking to buy a set of 645 grip panels, preferably the black nylon or the factory walnut panels. I am not interested in aftermarket grips rubber or hardwood. Drop me a message. Thanks, *** EDIT to Add: Found a new old stock pair online. 01/12/2024

I say start by making 1000 series backwards compatible magazines by the truckload so the guys selling them for $150 to $250 lose their *** on all the hoarded mags.

I’m still waiting to find the flipped over Cartel cash truck where I find cases of 10mm 3rd Gen mags stashed under boxes of money. “ Wait what? They left the cash but took five cases of Smith Wesson 1000 series magazines???? Get on the Gringo gun forums and start watching the users posts!!! “ :D

He had it less than a month, and I had offered to loan him my spare 645 (stainless steel baseplate) mags, but now I have the pistol to go with my two 645 mags. :p I just need to replace the Pachmayer grips with a set of factory S&W ones. I don’t like the looks or the feel of Hogue or Pachmayer...

So in another thread on 1076’s I had posted: Fast forward to today. My buddy was strapped for cash and I acquired the Model 645 from him. Life is good :D

A buddy of mine stumbled on to a estate sale where both a 2nd Gen 645 and a 1076 were being sold for under $500 each. He was wagging the 645 under my nose and failed to see the 1076 (s/n TFP24**), so I snatched it before he knew what had happened. He is always cash poor so I know in six months...

Yeah I have a bunch of magazine parts (for two additional mags) I just didn't have the foresight to buy extra magazine bodies before GPC sold them all. It's just one of those things when you collect.:D

I unfortunately am back in the "looking for mags" crowd. I cobbled together two spares for my 1006 before the GPC magazine bodies sold out, but have since acquired a S&W model 1076 that only had a single mag. The hunt always continues.

I just bought mine two weeks ago and I enjoy it thoroughly.:D
