Very nice! I'm on my way in a few minutes to pick up a 5906 I have on hold, and - if he still has it - have him put a 5943 I have been eyeing on lay-a-way.

3rd Gens. are a terrible addicton....and by terrible I mean awesomely superb.

yes there are still so many I want and even some 1st and 2nd gen too.645 39 3913ls 1006 are the 4 i want the most but at todays prices your looking at at least 2400.00 for the above pistols.

Nice pick up!

You are addicted to excellence and value. Someday soon we will fondly remember the days when these fine pistols could be had for under $400.00

It is a sweet sickness! Love my 5906 as it is a joy to shoot and feels great in my hand.

Hey, I'm right there with you. I'll sell a few, then look for others. Looking at getting a 5946. And its a DAO and I have previously said I don't like DAO, but here I am, looking for one. It is a sickness, like all gun buying is. The vast majority of us can't stop at one. No way, no how.

Picked up two very nice examples in the last couple weeks myself; a 6906 and 4566. Such solid weapons, especially for the money.

Awsome find.

Great news, I have a 4553, 4583 and a 3953 all for
sale. Glad to see so many buyers out there. I'm thining the herd and will be listing them for sale soon or PM me. I do like the 3rd gen. Smiths. You
will like your DAO's great trigger.

In my opinion there has never been a better feeling pistol to point and shoot with and yes I have 2 colt 1911s.The way the S&Ws from 1st gen on are made its like old world craftsmanship.smith will have to see the light once all these police guns are snapped up and make a classic series maybe 639 and 659 .

They are truly some of the best firearms ever made. I don't understand why S&W would keep offering revolvers and stop making 3rd Gens. I do like my M&P 40. It is a fine state of the art piece, but there is something about all metal guns that makes you want to collect them more.
