S&W Autos
What are the frame designations for the 59 series that had frame mounted decockers a la SIG?
Brain froze today.

I should add that Cole Distributing has some for sale, but they do not have the internal parts update (from what I have been told). The 5926's had some issues which were mostly fixed with the updated parts.

They were a hurried design, and really just a modification. I had a T&E gun from Smith (not a personal gun) that would only decock maybe 90% of the time you pressed the lever. Sometimes the lever would go down and stick. Two range sessions and she went back to S&W. They sent another T&E gun, same issues.

Gads! Glad I have this forum to find these things out. Looking aat a 5903/4 hybride and am really wanting it. I like the 3rd gen autos but the steel framed one are just too heavy for me.

I am sure others had good experiences with the 5926, just not me.

I own all the models made except for the 6924 of which I understand only 4 were produced. I have never had a problem with any of them. I have carried a 1076 for years which has been shot monthly without a problem.

Only 4? No wonder I havent found one!
I love the aluminum framed 59 and 69 series! Just balances well for me and am amazed how smooth the DAO models are. (older models)

What are you nervous about? I have a 1076 and 5924 and have never experienced a malfunction.
I have to agree with you on the weight and feel of the alloy framed ones, and the trigger pull on the DAO.

The 5924 (top) or the 5944 (bottom).
Well, I hate to do it but now that I have mine, I may let someone else have the next one that comes up. Maybe.

This is what I meant. Sorry for being obscure. Am I wrong and this is isolated?

Oh, that. No, there were some issues with the decocking lever in the T&E phase and early production. S&W came up with a fix for it that is shown by two dots under the decocking lever.
