1006 with spurless hammer - what is the neighborhood?

[tim808]

I picked up a spurless 1006 with adjustable sights a few years ago but now want to sell it since I have gone over to the dark side (Glock 20).

I haven't seen another spurless 1006 on Gunbroker. I've only the shorter 10's with the spurless hammer.

Would anyone have an idea of the neighborhood these would go for? It has the wax paper and box. Box is in fair condition. Gun is in good condition but definitely used....not a safe queen.

Tnx in advance!

I don't think the fact that it is spurless makes it inherently more accurate but I am by no means an expert.

I think you could get between $600-$750 depending on the condition of the pistol and number of magazines.

Do you have any photos that you could provide?

 

[tim808]

Oh yeah a Raiders fan!!

I think the spurless hammer just makes it a little easier to draw if you have it concealed.....I don't think it has any effect on accuracy.

The spurless hammer appears to be unique on the 1006.

I'll post pics later.

I haven't seen another spurless 1006 on Gunbroker. I've only the shorter 10's with the spurless hammer.

The 1046, 1066, and 1076, delivered with the bobbed hammer. It's not uncommon for anyone/armorer to change the hammer as a "drop in" for an experienced shooter or armorer. The "bobbed hammer" adds no value as it's a "drop in part" - however, 1006's can command a fairly high price on the auction sights.

 

[tim808]

TexasG - Thanks! I had a feeling that might be a possibility.

I was hoping that was not the case since the pistol did not come with the original hammer as a spare part as the previous owner seemed to have kept everything else.

(I also wondered why he didn't change the sights to nite/combat sights since the spurless hammer would lend the gun to be conceal carried......guess he tried out a Glock 20 and went that route )

Tnx again!

I was watching a 1006 several weeks ago on GB and quit thinking abot bidding at about 700. It went for 720. I had just bought a 1076 and couldn't go higher. At $33+ each, number of mags makes a difference.

Less appealing

A spurless hammer makes the 1006 dramatically LESS appealing to me -- because the option of thumbcocking is crucial in my view...

To each his own, certainly, but the Glock 20 is much less of a joy to shoot than the 1006...

You might find the grass ONLY LOOKED greener on the Dark Side....

I still own and carry Glocks. But I don't really LIKE them -- and really don't like shooting them.

By a number of knowledgable estimates, the recoil impulse is about 50 percent greater from a Glock 20 than a 1006 -- and maybe even less with Hogues and good recoil springs.

With screaming loads (which is an option every true 10mm fan wants), I can PROMISE you you'll wish you had the 1006 back...and probably with a spurred hammer as an option.

You might find your way back into the 1006 fold -- after you've put a bunch of rounds through the Glock 20.

There are MANY reasons even the most diehard Glock droolers own and respect the Smith 1006 and 4506 series...

Parting with a 1006 will haunt your nightmares like that first love you wish you'd married...

What ^^^ said!!!

To the best of my knowledge S&W never sold spurless 1006s. As previously posted the hammers are drop in parts and often changed to the owner's preference. You could spend the $50 to see if yours letters as a spurless pistol, but even if it did, who'd give a hoot? One of our LEO members removes his spurs because he doesn't use them and they abrade the inside of his suit coats. You could advertise your 1006 here. It might catch his fancy.

I own both the G20 and the 1006.

1006 is the better of the two.

But hey, don't let me tell you anything....you appear to already have it figured out.

I won't tell you that you'll regret it.

 

[robertrwalsh]

I own both a Glock 20 and a 1006. I much prefer shooting the Smith. On the occasion I carry one, I carry the Glock. The only time I ever shot it "seriously" one round did the job. I can't imagine I will ever need 15+ rounds to settle an issue, but I want to have them available just in case.

 

[Arik]

Sell if it makes sense TO YOU. I owned both the 1006 and G20 few years ago. When it came down to it the 1006 was the first to go. It didnt do anything the G20 couldnt. Even hot loads were not a problem with the G20. Im not recoil sensitive. I also dont have any nostalgia towards the 1006. Its just another gun. On the other hand, the 1006 sold for $700 so that bought me more ammo than I could buy with the sale of the G20. G20 mags are everywhere in every store....not so with the 1006....and they are cheaper.

In the end I sold the G20 too but I have no regrets about selling the 1006

What I like about Glocks...

What I like about Glock can be summed up very succinctly:

1) They have the decency and perspicacity to still make a workable, good 10mm -- in full size and compact forms. And they seem to be committed to continuing both.

Sadly, Smith "saved" the 10mm -- then abandoned it...

Glock is still in there plugging. They deserve some credit for that.

2) Glock makes magazines that hold lots and lots of rounds.

3)They usually go bang when they should...

Selling 1006

Arik is the only shooter I can point to who says he doesn't regret selling his 1006.

I can point you to 40 or 50 (and more with a little effort) who DEEPLY regret selling theirs -- and have worked hard to get theirs back...

You do the math...

I myself busted my tail to get TWO 1006s...after THINKING that a Glock 20 alone would suit me just fine...

It didn't...

When weight is an issue as in hiking or hunting -- and I might be in a serious jam, the Glock comes along -- usually.

But the 1006 is ALWAYS loaded and on hand at home or riding in the glove compartment...

But it's almost always a toss-up as to which can and will go -- as the 1006 really ISN'T that heavy -- unless you're lugging 60-75 lbs. of other items...

And if I were keeping one, it would be the 1006...

 

[Arik]

Its not about the math. Its about how much you like it. I read about them and really really wanted one. When I got it it was ok but not something ooo and aaa that everyone talked about

When you part with one, all the more for the rest of us...

Here's something else to remember about Glocks...

Here's something else to remember about Glocks -- that WONDERFUL tendency to blow up...the Great KaBoom!

Never ONCE heard of a Smith 3rd Gen doing this...

But accounts of Glocks doing this -- even with factory new ammo and never firing a reload -- are almost legend, they're so numerous.

I won't be shooting my Glocks much -- without Bar-Sto barrels...

 

[Arik]

No one ever claims it was their reloads! Not my fault.

Almost legendary? Like the same 2-5 accounts being reposted over and over? They go KABOOM all the time.

Silly post and silly videos.


I own four Glocks and I still have eight fingers and two opposable thumbs. I have fired numerous rounds through my Glocks without a single hick-up or Kaboom.

They are, in fact, one of if not the most reliable firearm that I have ever owned or fired. I will keep and carry them for the rest of my life.

Any firearm can be susceptible to failure if a round exceeds what the weapon is made for. A guy over on another forum I follow double-charged a .45 ACP hand load and blew apart a Sig P220 18 months ago or so.

If you don't want to keep the 1006 then sell it, but know that the mere fact it has a spurless hammer doesn't make it worth any more than another 1006. I have Smiths both with spurs (5906 and 4505) and numerous without them (Shorty 40, 6906, 4566, 3914, 1076). I don't cock the hammers when I shoot so the hammer (so long as it falls) is really irrelevant to me.

Firearms selection is an intensely personal choice and not one that should be made off the recommendations of others alone. Fire a Glock and see if you like it. Some people can't stand them. I learned to shoot on one and consider them to be "Bet Your Life Reliable."

If you decide to sell your 1006 drop me a line. I would be most interested in acquiring the older cousin to my 1076.

Have you ONCE ever heard of or seen this happening with a Smith 3rd Gen?????????????????????????????????????

Well, HAVE you?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
