Please go over it carefully before spending any money. Last time I went to the range they noticed my extractor was getting worn and sent me to the gun shop to get it checked and replaced if necessary (which they did). The first thing the armorer asked me when I said I had a Smith was "where...

The brand new guns at Cabelas I suspect are over runs/returns from the NYPD contract. NYPD dumped the 5946 in 2014 so those build dates make sense. After they moved production from Springfield to Houlton quality took a nose dive. Apparently the Houlton guns are so bad the range staff beg people...

What ever happened with this situation?

Don't even bother contacting NYPD about it. Your best bet is to get it lettered.

The 5946 for has not been authorized for new officers since 2014. They are not and have never been 5946TSWs. Standard markings, no rail. The 3914DAO and 3953TSW were formerly authorized off duty guns. They are now replaced by the M&P Shield. The 908 was never in the mix. All of our guns are...

I'm guessing they were authorized as off duty guns?

The serial number is very close to my 5946. My 5946 was made in 2004 for a NYPD contract. They were still making 3913 LS's into the 2000s?

I can't shed too much more light but I responded to your PM. I hope I helped.

My Remington 870 had a rough chamber. Some rounds would stick in the chamber and you really had to force the action to get them out. I used some 000 steel wool, a cleaning rod, a power drill and a lot of oil to polish it. Worked like a charm.

Post the serial number but X out the last two digits. Someone who has the book can tell you.

All three mags for my 5946 have been fully loaded continuously for 10 years now. They are only ever unloaded for but a few minutes after I shoot and get reloaded. They are fine.

I would say yes. Unless the range somehow slipped one past the goalie. Which I would not bet money on.

This has to be the first time in about 20 years they approved new off duty guns. The herd was getting pretty thin too. I heard the G43 was having feed issues on the last round. I'm sure Glock will work that out and it will be added soon. Still keeping my 3914DAO though.

I always like Tubbs' 64 Caddy convertible on Miami Vice

You are referring to the 3914DAO. Yes it was made for a big (very big) east coast PD. Yes it was done by the factory. It is second strike capable and the trigger feels very similar to that in the 5946, maybe just a little bit heavier. The product code on the box for mine is 103922. I got mine in...
