Personally, I'm thinking 3906 or 3953 is next on my list. But a nice 39-2 or one of the 2nd gen single stack 9's might get the nod.


I'm on a single stack 9mm kick.


How about you guys?

What's the next single smith on the menu? Not a wish list for the next 30. Prioritize to one.

39 and 39-2. Boxed

Oh man. Just as I'm typing this, I see a beautiful almost new 3904 for sale on gunbroker at a really sweet price IMO. But I'm buying a new lawn tractor tomorrow, and just bought a 45 cap s&w earlier this month


Ahhhh priorities lol


Someone here go pick it up.

I imagine an "affordable" shooter-grade 1066. I don't typically "hunt" for a specific thing (other than the CS9 I had to have, which now sits in a safe). I prefer to find things that catch my eye, then learn more about them.

I passed on a 2-tone 457 a few weeks ago, and it's still there, wearing out my resistance. I'm fearful of going down the .45 cal rabbit-hole!

Captain, we are hunting down the same trail. My goal is to own all variants of single stack nines. Then, going to the double stacks. However, my list generally is forgotten when I stumble upon a double stack nine I just can't put down. Heading to the Fort Worth Gun Show this weekend. It's an addiction and I like it. I knew that giddy feeling I got at last weekends show would wear off once I cleaned and safed my new finds. It did. So, here I go again

A nice, clean and complete example of a 4516 would suit me just fine. All stainless, and rugged as all get-out. I love 1911's, but I really would love to have this 3rd GEN model!

If I ran across a reasonably priced 4513 or 3953 or 1066 or..,

That is an easy one...I need a 3914NL to complete a collection of all model 39s 1st -3rd Gen models made with blue/black frames/slides.

Well, this thread is getting kind of redundant! But I'm with you. About the only 3rd Gen that would get my undivided attention would be one of the single stack 9s. I don't have an exact model in mind and I think I'd jump at almost any of them because I almost never see them. My only priority would be one that is in better than average condition.

Not actively hunting, but on the look out for a 457, 39-2, shooter 1006 or 1066 and a 4506. Ok...just about any 3rd gen .45 and most any of the 9mm's.

Go for it! Love my -2.

Hey, I'm just helping that voice in your head.

Been there, done that.

Pristine 3953

Whichever comes first at a decent price, between a 645 and 5906, in pristine condition.

The 45ACP and the all steel third gen smite are a forgiving and flexible combo to learn reloading with.......

a nice 4006, shooter grade 1006, 4516, 5906 I'm not picky

I don't know what generation it is but I'm looking for a Billboard 1911.

I would like a 5946 to go with my Novak 915, 5903, 5906, and 5944.

We are talking about smith's design for DA/SA autos.

But those are nice 1911's

I'd like an original 1911pd scandium

Thought I found a 4506 today but had just been too bubba'd up for me, Arrgh! The search continues (half the fun by the way )
3904
CS45

Looking for a 1006 as my next S&W

I'm keeping an eye out for any mid sized or compact DAO .45acp
I would really like to stumble across a 4505.

Any 9mm third gen would be great. I don't know why I would want a first or second gen when there is a 3rd. The plastic guns are a real departure. Not that I wouldn't have one, but I REALLY LIKE third gens.

Hey....you of all people should know we have rules about such announcements here.......


Where are the pics?!?!


And congrats btw. That's a good find. Glad you got it.

The later 39's have a svelteness and the full frame that the 3913/4 and 3906/04 lack. The 439 and 539 have a significantly different finish and asthetics, and are far more common than the 3906/04.

I don't care for the 2nd gen 45's, but a lot of people really like them.

He doesn't have a camera as he uses the money for 3rd gens. but I would love to see some photos of his extensive PC and non PC 3rd gens.

BTW: Congrats on another nice one 18!

As my collection has grown my tastes have become more expyensive. I'm looking for a nice 7" model 41 and 845 but always on the lookout for a unique 3rd generation model.

With yet another crushing surprise financial crisis on my hands, the one and only gun that could possibly get me to go even further into debt and buy, against all odds and regardless of the consequences, would be my beloved Model 4506-1.

10XXs',and any acceptably priced 59XXs' and 69XXs' I encounter.

Seeing how no one has mentioned 639's it looks like you have all you want so it's time for me to go on the hunt.

My search continues. Today I got a 459 in the box. Need, read need, a 39, 39-2, 439, and 639. Those are next.

I'll be in the market for a 5903TSW and/or a 5926 sometime later this year. The TSW will be my new nightstand gun, and a 5926 would be a range toy/IDPA gun.

Already know the location of a very mint looking 6904 and 3913, also will be talking price with a local guy who may be looking to sell his 1006. So, hopefully I will soon be acquiring one (or perhaps all three) of these guns. We shall see!

shooter grade M457 S.......yea I know

I'm on the hunt for that extremely rare and highly elusive any gen. Free one!! Ok, I'd settle for next to nuthin, but those are just as rare and elusive.

I reckon so

Working on a 5904 and looking for a 5903 SSV.

Brought one home today in a Shorty .40 now I need a Shorty 9 and 5906 TSW.
The new Shorty .40

No one appeared to have picked it up (should we be collectively referring to the same 6904) because I just happened to stumble across it earlier today, seems to me it was $349 at bid and $369 "Buy Now." The seller, "Prussia," is a Moriarty (methinks), NM (for sure), fellow from whom I've bought at least two S&Ws in the long ago and very recent past. He offers fair pricing for good product and ships quickly once the money is in his hands.

More of these...

Wasn't looking but found another anyway.

In this case a 5943SSV.

My interests are in S&W handguns which have only two or three numbers in their designation, i.e. 28, 39, 41, 60, 629, 659, etc. Any more numbers are just confusing and make the gun "uninteresting" to me.
