3rd Gen Magazines

[apbrown]

A local gun shop has started an auction site and I discovered they have several magazines for sale, including several for some S&W 3rd Gen semi-autos. Quite a few for the 6906.

I don't know about the rules for posting links so, just internet search "Gun Agents". Once you are at the site, search "magazines".

While you are there, you can check out the good prices on some firearms too.

The good news is that if the magazines are new in the box and don't work S&W will replace them with magazines that do work - IF S&W still has them. They did it for me with 6906 magazines that I bought from Midway - they were S&W's products so they replaced them immediately. I didn't even bother to talk to Midway.

I wonder if those 6906 magazines are OEM or aftermarket? Some aftermarket copies are very close in appearance to OEM. Shipping looks like $8.00 per magazine or pair of magazines.

Anybody going for these? I'm out of luck 'cause Massachusetts (even though if they are OEM they are pre-bans).

I will ask the owner of the shop next time I am in there.

Ask him if he will ship "pre-ban" hi-cap magazines to loony moonbat Massachusetts.

I've never seen aftermarket 6906 magazines. 59xx, 3013/14, and even 457/4516, but never a 6906.

I have bought a few S&W CS 45 magazines from Midway. No problems what so ever.

Hi, Gary!

I have in front of me two new-in-package Millett blued steel, 15 round magazines for "S&W Compact 9MM".
69XX length, not 59XX length.
I don't know when they were made.
Late 80s, I guess.
I got them a few years ago from GPC (Numrich).
I haven't seen them advertised in years.

If pictures weren't such a hassle, I'd post some.

And here I thought you knew everything about 3rd Gen magazines! Absolutely there are aftermarket magazines out there. Sorry GaryS, but I have to do it...

Google is your friend! ​

 

[ladder13]

They do exist, 6906

 

[GaryS]

Wise guy! Maybe it's because I have so many OEM ones that I never considered it. Or, maybe some of my "OEM" ones aren't. Now I have to look.

Don't mind me. I'm just envious!

Well, you guys made me do it. I went through my 6906 magazines. There are four distinctly different ones. The ones I am 100% sure are OEM are stainless, have witness holes and numbers on both sides, and have a "S" on one side, and an "O" on the other. These match the three that came with the gun when I bought it used. It came with box, three magazines, and maybe the manual. The box is in a closet with the other boxes and I'm too unambitious to go and look right now.

Then there are the stainless ones with full witness holes on one side with numbers, but only a single witness hole on the other side with no numbers. No "O", either. They do have magazine release cut outs on both sides.

Then there is one blue one, with witness holes and numbers on one side only, no "S", no "O", and mag release on one side only.

Finally, I have two blue ones with two witness holes on one side, one on the other side, no numbers, no "S", no "O", and mag release cut out on the other.

None are marked "LE and Military Only", because those are super killy and not allowed in the PRM.

None of them look like the ones that ladder 13 has posted pictures of. They all look identical as far as shape and base plates go, with the variations as noted.

None of them have the S&W logo on them as do ladder 13's. in fact they have no markings on them at all other than as noted.

Are they all OEM variations? Who knows?

Don't mind me. I'm just envious!

Now you see why we need a chapter on magazines in the next edition of the Bible.

 

[GaryS]

Good idea. I volunteer... YOU to write it!

Ummm... those are 2nd Gen hi-caps with a collar for a 469/669. Those are not the 12-rd built to fit the frame size of the 469/669/69xx. The pictured mags are 14 or 15 rounds capacity. 69xx OEM is 12-rd with a curvy thumb rest.

And I volunteer oldman10mm in my place! He is the true king of 3rd Gen magazines.

Anyway, a quick check of the Interwebs would seem to indicate that the 6900-series magazines with only one or two witness holes on the left side might just be earlier 2nd Gen magazines.

 

[GaryS]

Then they are DEFINITELY pre ban. How many do you want?

No kidding! We prisoners of Massachusetts think alike!

The only thing better than a pre-ban 3rd Gen magazine is an even more pre-ban 2nd Gen magazine for the same gun.
