S-W 5946 A complete disassymble, polish, and spring changes has resulted to a 8 pound and 8 ounce trigger pull. it is fantastic.

5946 reassymbly Thank each of you that replied , especially Fastbolt, my hat is off for you. My other S-W autos are the DA/SA 06 models, I placed the spring under both levers. After I removed the spring on the right side, the 5946 reassembled as intended. I'm a retired 1911 and S-W revolver...

5946 assymbly problem Thanks, yes I depress the lever, slide the slide on past where I see the end of the lever, at that point the end of the lever contacts the side of the button and stops. I have removed the firing pin safety button, and the slide goes on, also I can remove the lever with the...

After a detail strip, when installing the slide, the the firing pin release lever stops against the side of the firing pin safety button, and the slide stops there. What am I missing? Your help is appreciated.

hammer/Sear Thanks. I'll have another look.

After reassembling my 5943, the hammer fails to cock. If I partially cocked the hammer, it will function one time, but fail to reset for another hammer cocking. The trigger bar fails to connect to the hammer/ sear assembly .{mag is inserted} Any advice, please.

Frank is a friend of mine, he has kidney failure, and a short time remaining.he is trying to catch up his backlog on custom rifles, with the help of another gunsmith friend. He is a fine person and excellent gunsmith. I visited him not long ago. The pistol's only problem is that I am missing...

Regarding the 5946, I purchased it a few years ago from CDNN, it and a S-W 4053 were both NEW issued. Really proud of both.

I appreciate your help Fastbolt, and others, I've been away from my workbeach and apologize for being slow to respond. I'll double check the slide movement and report back. Thank you.

one of the older version 5946, the disconnector is installed correctly, reassymbly is with the original parts. [I replaced the trigger return spring} The sear tail is in front of the sear spring. When the trigger is pulled, it fails to catch and cock the hammer. Sorry that I left a day or two...

After assembly, the trigger pull fails to cock and fire the pistol. If I manually partial cock the hammer, the trigger will complete the hammer cock and fire. The trigger bar is failing to catch the hammer. Your help is appreciated. I'm not a novice, but this has me stumped.

Only thing needed is : Add ammonition, it is good to go. A very fine pistol

Dependabilty is KING, but, can the hammer spring be reduced on a 5946 and retain reliable primer inition? It is my understanding that the 5906 has a different hammer spring than the 5906. Asking for your experience please.

Yes, they are worth the price, however, I prefer a 3953, or comparible, and a lot of ammo.

IMHO the is not a better 45 ACP pistol. I have used the 4566 for years. I have other 45 ACP handguns, and others, and there are many very good handguns, just as good. I have found that the 4566 has been 100% reliable for me, and I trust it more than a good 1911. My 4566 sleeps beside me, an...
