You mean this one, Bob?! :D

Here's a photo of the Border Ranger holster, matching double mag pouch, and belt that Doc Barranti made me for my Sig Sauer P226 pistol. It quickly became my all-time favorite gun rig!

TFA should be a 1990 production year pistol. When you call S&W about the recall, ask nicely and they'll tell you the year it was shipped from the factory. ;)

An outstanding find and what a sell! I hope it brings you years of enjoyment!

I've loved all the 3rd Gen pistols I've owned over the years. I don't have a 5906, but I do own a 5926 and, though I normally carry a Sig P226, I still carry it when I'm feeling nostalgic. It's a great pistol and one I'm not ever going to sell which is saying a lot for me! :)

Most of the time, it's one of my two Sig Sauer P226 9x19 pistols. On those days when I'm feeling nostalgic, I switch to the S&W Model 5926.

Hi, Bob! Hope all is well with you. To answer your question, yes, when I'm in the woods, the 58 is with me. :)

None of the new S&W revolvers I purchased in the seventies and very early eighties had a sticker like that on them. Maybe they came a bit later.

Thanks! It's a great shooter, too! :)

Kentucky State Police Model 1076

Yes. Absolutely. Actually, except for a few rare exceptions like the new Series 70 Colt 1911 models and a few others, you'd be hard pressed to find any pistols made in the past 30 years or so that are not safe to carry with a loaded chamber.

The P226 has been my EDC for the last several years. It's my absolute favorite pistol model and is my go to for carry, training, and instructing (I'm an NRA-certified LE firearms instructor). My wife's pistol is a P229. I'm sure you'll enjoy yours. Best of luck with it! P.S.- It looks a...

Here's a copy of the LOA I promised you I'd post when I received it. ;)

My pleasure! I hope you found the info helpful! ;)

I received my long-awaited Letter Of Authenticity today and discovered some interesting information about the Model 5926 in general and my particular example in particular. As you can read for yourself below, the total production for the Model 5926 was ~5000 pistols and, interesting to me, my...

I absolutely will, amigo, including photos of the letter itself, as I usually do. [emoji108]🏼

Well, the wait begins. I mailed the form and a check for a letter of authenticity for this pistol to Smith & Wesson on Thursday. Hopefully, it won't take too, too long to get back. :)

Why not just send it back to the factory and be done with it? No stress involved. My Kentucky State Police 1076 was having extraction problems when I first bought it, I sent it back to Smith, they repaired and returned it a few weeks later with a new extractor and extractor spring, and I never...

Thank you very much for your reply. The info you've provided is a help and I'm going to go ahead and order a letter of authenticity. Maybe I'll get lucky!

Does anyone have a production number for the Model 5926? Thank you!
