I have a 908S. They are great little pistols, the slim profile makes them an excellent choice for a concealed carry pistol. Like another member mentioned I prefer their single side safety/decocker over the 3913s ambi safety/decocker. The 908 does not have a very harsh recoil but I do prefer...

I missed a chance to buy a DAO 9mm TSW (not sure of the exact model number) for a very low price. In hind sight though I think it was probably a good thing because I prefer DA/SA pistols. Lately I have had my eye on S&W's 5906 TSW. I would like to pick up an all stainless 9mm S&W for casual...

posted by Broker50: Hmmmmm. I wonder if maybe I would have been better off just picking one up new and getting the lifetime warranty. The shooting range I frequent has a 686-6 just like mine and when I asked the range officer about the reliability and durability of the 686 he said their 686...

I have read that some people have removed the internal lock on their revolvers. What are the pros and cons of doing this to my revolver? I believe it just leaves a hole in the frame, does anyone make a plug or anything to help with the asthetics? I bought the S&W mostly for fun on the range...

I did some shooting today at a local range/gunshop and before heading home I decided to see if they had gotten anything new recently. I was looking for a used 4 inch 686-4 or -5 seven shot without the dern lock. When I asked the guy if they had any S&W 686 revolvers he said they actually had...

Pardon my lack of knowledge; do all 686-4 and 686-5 revolvers have 7 shot capacity?

I have just recently started shooting revolvers and am currently looking for a 4 inch 357mag. I really like the 686 and was wondering if S&W ever made it in the 7 shot configuration without the dern lock? Are the 7 shot 686s very hard to find? Is the 686 a good all around revolver? I am...

Anyone else out there with a 4040PD?

I am glad I stocked up on 6906 mags a few months ago. J&G sales had used ones for a good price though I am not sure if they still have anymore in stock.

I have been doing some research on alloy framed S&W autos and came across the 4040PD which caught my attention immediately. Does anyone know how many 4040PDs were made? I have seen a few on gunbroker and they show up sometimes in the classifieds section here and on Sigforum but are they very...

I have been carrying my 908S in a Uncle Mikes generic IWB holster would really like to know if there are any really good IWB and OWB holsters out there that are made specifically for the model 908. Most of the holsters I have found are made for the 3913 and 6906.

Looks good! The 6906 is an excellent pistol. It is what got me hooked on S&W autos.
