Awesome, thanks for the heads up.

Make sure to change those recoil springs guys. Since this one looks to be a very late 80s, or very early 90s example, I ordered a standard 15lb recoil spring, and was shocked that the old one was almost a full 1 1/2 inch shorter. At least I won't beat my frame to death....

This makes perfect sense to me, thanks! I will say this thing is in excellent shape though.

I'd love to know if anyone else has ever seen anything like this before. The badge number does make sense, but I doubt it would be on all three major pieces.

That would make sense, but why would said cop put his badge number on the barrel, slide and frame? Also, if this was an LEO sidearm, there is virtually no holster wear at all, and the internal rails tell me its been shot a little, but not many rounds...500 or less is my guess.

Picked up my 915 today, and was very pleased with the overall condition. As it turns out, I seem to have a low serial number 02XX, so I'm guessing its one of the first 200 or so, but not sure. The thing I noticed is there are three additional numbers on this pistol that have been etched in with...

Nice! Reasonably priced?

I think I actually have an older shoulder holster that will work, but was looking for some OWB old school leather, as these can be had for less.

Unfortunately, the 5906 I wanted did not work out, but I believe the reason was because I ended up with a very nice 6906 for under $500! A quick price check here and there, and it looks like I did real good, so I can't wait to pick it up. I'd love to hear from you owners out there and your...

I ended up getting what I believe to be pre ban 915 mags, but in any even they are S&W.

Like the title says, looking to get one, and would prefer one without the MIM hammer trigger combo. Not concerned if it has the box or not, and although I don't need a pristine example, would like a good one. Thanks.

Thanks again guys!

Thanks guys! While I know these are simple to take apart and maintain, I would still like the original manual. The other question is on the original mags for the 915; were these blued? A pic would help. I know the newer ones will work, but would like to have one original example.

Have a very nice looking 915 on the way, and would like a picture of the original manual that would have shipped with the pistol. Also, my 915 seems to be the later one before they switched to the 910, as it has the MIM hammer and trigger combo, and the rear sight is the Novak type. I think I...

Before I forget, I still have a few boxes of these: 38 Special Ammunition for Sale. Federal 125 Grain Jacketed Hollow-Point (JHP) - 50 Rounds The gel test did not show a lot of expansion though.
