Since the thread has been updated I figure a 4006 Limited back end story might be entertaining.
I saw mine in a Fort Lauderdale gun show at closing time on a Sunday. The dealer took only cash (remember in the 90's portable credit card readers were scarce) and there was no way to get cash because it was closing time at the show and even if it wasn't back then the bank's ATM would only distribute $500 per day.
The dealer said he lived further north near Cape Kennedy but would save the gun for me and be at a Melbourne show a few weeks later on and if I showed up on Saturday morning with the cash the gun was mine. So I drove the 2+ hours and true to his word the 4006 was mine, WITH 10 mags!
I went straight to my local range and flipped out finding it hard to believe how accurate it was.
Later that same day we had a "pin" match at a local range where we used 10 chopped off heads from bowling pins as targets placed 75 feet from the shooter set on the concrete floor. Each shooter shot separately, their time was recorded and the winner had the lowest time to clear the pin heads to the backstop... I won using only 10 shots when many had changed mags, some more than once!
A fellow shooter who owned a large flooring company asked to try the 4006 on the pin heads and after he cleared the 10 heads he began an "auction" with me starting at $1000 and kept going up to a "blank check" which I refused. Gads was he ticked off that he couldn't buy it.
This was the second time I refused a "blank check" for a pistol the first being a Colt Delta Gold Cup and I still own them both
Money goes away but real steel stays!
