6906 round guard joins the family

[Whisper]

After looking for quite a while, today at my favorite used gun shop I acquired an excellent condition 6906, late model with round trigger guard, in the box and with both magazines and all papers. Cost was $525 OTD, which isn't a smoking deal, but I seldom see these anymore, so I'm happy.

Another LGS also has a 3913TSW with one mag and nothing else (unless you count the substantial cosmetic wear), and I've been tempted by that one, but maybe this 6906 will cool the fever for a bit.

Cheers,
Whisper

Very nice! IMO, for the condition and the bonus goodies, you made out very well on that deal!

The metal receiver S&W pistols definitely do not occupy as much real estate in the used pistol section of gun shops today like they did 30 years ago. It is getting harder to find really nice ones and the prices are reflecting their scarcity in the used gun market of the 21st century.

Nice find! She's gorgeous for an older broad for sure!

They have become few and far between at gun shops, a few more seem to show up at pawn shops. Even at gun shows it's rare to see more than one or two, if that.

Prices are certainly high for the most part. I've seen 908s listed around $500.00.

I agree. I would not have been able to walk out of that establishment without that gun in hand. Great deal in these parts!
