    Shoulder holster for 5906

    I'm trying to decide between a vertical and a horizontal shoulder rig for my 5906, then I'm open to specific brand/model recommendations. Uses would include: - under a light jacket while driving - under a winter parka while shopping, running errands, etc. And yes, I have a Concealed Pistol...

    Screw in Novak rear sight (5906)

    There's what looks like a small black set screw in the top of a Novak rear sight. 1) Is that screw used to adjust the sight somehow, or to affix it to the slide by being tightened? 2) Does it need to be removed prior to removing the rear sight from the slide? Thanks.

    Shoulder rigs for 5906 - vertical or horizontal?

    I've read that "longer" pistols should be carried vertically, and "shorter" pistols should be carried horizontally . . . but which is a 5906 (longer or shorter)? I've also read that body size/shape comes into play. I'm 5'11" and 260 (my six-pack became a keg 40 years ago). Again, for body...

    Anybody ever get paid to take a 5906?

    That's about the only way you could make out better than I did (no brag, just fact). The DEAL. A kitchen table FFL in Seattle is expanding into a brick and mortar (literally!) store, and he needed a nice sign design for out front (in scalable vector format for a sign maker to cut vinyl from)...

    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

    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

    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...

    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

    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...
