    Sight dovetail compatability/specs

    Some Bersas can use some Sig sights. That's all I know about this subject. Makes me wonder, though: Is there a big chart somewhere that shows the dovetail specs (side angles, depth, and bottom width) of most pistols, or a simplified listing of what else can be used in any particular pistol...

    3rd gen rear sight questions

    Different as in "won't fit or work correctly on a 5906" frame, or different as in "doesn't look like a 5906" slide? (I appreciated your other tips on model numbers to search for.)

    3rd gen rear sight questions

    Which models of 3rd gen 9mm pistols had the simple blade rear sight (top one in pic below)? Was it only certain years? I'm looking for a slide for my 5906 with that sight - doesn't matter if it's SS or blued, but it does need a decocker on at least one side. My search so far has been limited...

    Witness holes on 5906 mags

    I haven't tried filling them, but the seller says he did after I emailed a question (during the auction) about his description: "Up for auction is a lot of two (2) 14 round 9mm magazine for a Smith & Wesson Model 5906 9mm caliber pistol. Used but in great shape they show little to no wear fully...

    Witness holes on 5906 mags

    This pair was recently sold (to me) through gunbroker.com: They have the 'standard' number of holes on the right side (6), but fewer holes on the left side (5 on one mag, 1 on the other mag). I'm told they both hold 15 rounds, like the one that came with my 5906 (it has 6 holes on each side...

    3rd Gen Grip Question

    I now have three sets of grips for my 5906. This is how I would describe the differences: - Stock S&W grips - thinnest, hard plastic, curved backstrap, 1-piece using pin (no screws) - Uncle Mike's - just a skosh thicker than OEM, soft/sticky surface, straight backstrap, 3-piece using pin (no...

    FOUND: Slide for 5906, 910, etc.

    Before I buy through gunbroker, I thought I'd ask if any of you have a spare. 1. Describe finish (stainless or blued) and condition unless you include pix of any wear/damage. 2. Describe which rear sight dovetail it has (short blade, stepped Novak, or long adjustable with side protectors). 3...

    5906 sight upgrade questions

    Thanks for all the leads and info. I've learned there are three rear sight dovetails (small blade, step-bottomed 'Novak' style, and large flat bottom for the side guide that's under the factory adjustable sight). Mine is the stepped 'Novak' style. Apparently all front sight dovetails are the...

    5906 sight upgrade questions

    TruGlo makes sight sets for the S&W M&P (e.g., SKU: TG131MPTY) - will these fit/work on the 3rd Gen 5906, or are the dovetails different-sized?

    5906 sight upgrade questions

    Thanks for the help. I'm still learning (this is my first S&W), so I might not be using the correct nomenclature. Attached is a photo of a rear sight like the one I have (there's a flat 1/2" area cut into the top of the slide rearward of the dovetail) and it has what may be a 1/16" pin or...

    5906 sight upgrade questions

    1. My 5906 has the black, non-adjustable sights. If I can find an adjustable rear sight from a 5906 online, will it fit right into the slide's dovetail without modification? Any other S&W models' sights swappable into the 5906? 2. If I go adjustable on the rear, can I still use the front sight...

    5906 vs 6906 grips/trigger reach

    New guy with short fingers here. Just picked up a 5906 today that needs new grips (significant chunks missing - must have been carried by a K-9 handler). I've read that the Hogue grips are bigger around (girth) than the stock S&W grips, and the Pachmayrs are in between - correct? Where do...
