Bunch of 5906 for $359.00 on Guns America...2 mags, lock, blue S&W case, paperwork...

Mmmm...to bad about the grips...I wanted some thing with Opus the penguin on it or Snoopy! (kidding)

I will soon have a lightly used 5906 and thought I would look into getting some custom grips - wood or other material. Can this be done? It appears that the Hogues have only one screw/pin on the bottom and this grips have tabs to hold them on. There are some out there but one had two holes...

I guess the square guards are on the older models? I prefer the round and as someone stated - your choice of holsters is apparently wider. I also ordered 3, 15 round magazines - Factory mags - for $19.95 each. I will have 5 mags for this... Next purchase is a holster.

Well - I will know soon enough - I just ordered an re-furb 5906 that was made in 1996. I should get it Friday...

I hear negative things about the extractors on these...is this a generally known and accepted issue or is it just an occasional occurence? Thanks so far for some input...I just want a REAL metal gun for a change. I am over the "poly pistols" for awhile.

Several to choose from...I noted that there is the round trigger guard and the square. Any year better than another? And major differences in production years with respect to design changes?

They sold out of these at our local gun shop - a dozen out the door. They are waiting on 6 more but didn't have a time when they would get in...
