    steel case ammo for a 5906

    So I have a 5906, and I "accidentally" ordered some steel case ammo. :eek: My eyes were too fixated on the $.13 per round to be paying attention to the specifications of the bullets. It looks like they're Russian surplus ammo, and I'm wondering if my gun/extractor will be ok with this. So are...

    5906 Market Value

    I bought mine that came with two 15rd mags for $380 OTD. I guess I paid a little too much, seeing some of the posts on here.

    Attempted Robbery next door

    I agree with you. Unless the perp was threatening me with a weapon, I would have just called the police and updated them on the perp's location. Lethal force should be used only if less forceful measures have been exhausted. This thread might as well have no comments then. Because no average...

    Attempted Robbery next door

    I've been told that in Massachusetts, pleading the fifth is discouraged by the police. Does anyone want to shed some insight on this?

    Got a new (to me) 5906. Have questions

    If you don't mind sharing, what is this dry lube you're using? I've been cleaning mine with Winchester CLP, and I can't seem to get the last bit of grit built up inside the slide where the rear sight is mounted.

    The end of the Steel Pistol?

    I am no experienced shooter but I too, prefer the look, feel, and shooting characteristics of steel pistols. I believe that with the advent of Glock, a good number of gun manufacturers have focused their attention to polymer frames. I'm guessing this is due to the changing preferences of police...

    5906 IWB holster options

    Once I get my CCW permit, I plan on getting a IWB holster and carrying my 5906. It will probably be cumbersome and uncomfortable, but it's my only gun for now and I'll have to get used to it. I found this online: THE HOLSTER STORE | Glock 26 27 33 IWB Holster Does anyone have experience with...

    California's latest handgun lunacy!

    Doesn't California still issue concealed carry permits? Or is "may-issue" a bogus concept?

    Got a new (to me) 5906. Have questions

    I went back to the range today and fired another 200 rounds. There were no jams of any kind. I guess I was just limp wristing when I had those failure to feeds.

    Got a new (to me) 5906. Have questions

    And when you say barrel, are you referring to the rod that goes inside the spring? Sorry, I'm new to this terminology. I never bothered messing with the slide. I just dropped the mag, cleared the chamber, and started over. I was under the impression that was the only way to clear a jam. And...

    Got a new (to me) 5906. Have questions

    When I had the FTFs, there were no more than 3 rounds left in the magazine (15rd mag). It occurred once with Winchester (white box) 115gr FMJ, and again with Corbon 125gr JHP +p. And which springs should I look at replacing? Should I replace the magazines as well? It is very easy to fully load...

    Opinions on 669,469 or 6906 for CCW

    Do any of you have a "canted" holster? Any problems concealing the gun in summer clothing?
