    New 5906 Magazine ?

    I bought two used about a year ago. I found two new mag springs, orange followers and foot plates. I took them apart cleaned and polished them, reassembled with the new parts and it looks like I got two new mags. If I remember I had about $50-$60 in both. I think I bought the mags from Buds and...

    Shoulder holster for 5906

    I have the Galco Miami classic for my Sig P229 and my 5906 fits it perfectly. It is a vertical carry which is more concealable than the horizontal. It is great to have one holster that will allow you to carry different guns. Saves money.

    5906 grip size vs. 92FS grip size

    I own both. 5906 and 96A1. The Beretta has a better fitting grip. Beretta also makes a black aluminum grip that is even thinner. They have a sharp diamond surface and it feels very good in your hand. You can find them on BerettaUSA .com. They are a little pricey but worth it for the better grip...

    Strange 5906 Part

    Looks just like the one in my 5906. I have 9 pistols and the 5906 is probably one of the best I have. It is my favorite.

    trigger jobs

    I have three M&P pistols and have always wondered what a gritty trigger felt like. You read about it on this forum a lot. My triggers feel smooth. They do feel heavy and took some getting use too. I did improve my shooting with my 45 compact with the Apex job. It lightened the trigger and my...

    Rejuvenating night sights

    I personally wouldn't even consider a repair or rebuild. I just bought a new set of Meprolight on eBay for $83 with free shipping and installed them myself on my 5906.

    How many rounds on a typical range day?

    Went today. About 35 through the Beretta 92, about 45 through my S&W 5906, 15 through the M&P 40 FS and 30 through my Sig M400 AR15. Kind of cold out so round count was about 1\2 what I usually do. Still a fun day.

    I'm Not buying another gun! Dang, I bought another gun.

    So where is the problem..I don't see a problem. It's why I don't go to gun shows anymore and only to the gun store when I need a pick me up. But usually walk out more depressed. It's a terrible sickness.

    5906 question

    Opaul the serial number is VCR 36xx. I am not sure of the age I have not been successful finding the serial number prefix. I bought mine from Buds and had it shipped to the local gun range I am a member of. The owner gives discount on transfers to members. We were going to shoot it before we...

    5906 question

    I have a 5906. I like the looks of the pinky rest on the bottom of the 6906 magazine. Will the 6906 magazine fit the 5906 or even better is the bottom floor plate interchangeable. They may be available and would be cheaper to change than buying a new magazine. Thanks

    I sure wouldn't do that to my M&P 40 FS but darn that does look good! Nice job.

    Model 5906 Question

    FS could be fixed sights but this guns front sight is a removable dove tail sight and the rear is adjustable windage and elevation is adjustable on just certain models. I guess this one elevation is not an option. Going to buy it. I just can't find anything on S&W web sight to clarify this. I...
