Where is the best place to buy one right now? I have seen them advertised on CDNN and gunbroker. I don't have a gunbroker account, and I'm not planning on creating one. I go there to look at prices and what trade-ins are out there in quantity. I was thinking of calling up Cole's Distributing and seeing if they would sell me one directly. J&G had the 5903s, but they appear to be sold out now.

My 6906 is the pistol I CC the most, by far. I like the capacity, and the grip is a perfect fit for me.
The DA/SA trigger is MUCH safer than the Glocks or similar pistols, too.
Mine is capable of very good accuracy at medium distances.
The Novak sights really make lining up a shot very fast and easy.
I like that it is an all metal pistol. Plastic just lacks... the 'feel' of a solid firearm, IMHO.
I highly recommend them.

I agree with the external hammer issue--I like Glocks and the M&P, but I really do think it is better to have an external hammer with a decocker.
Just bought one from Bud's; haven't seen it yet, was sold to me as "very good."
Intend to clean it up and give it a shakedown. Ordered a new recoil spring from Brownell's and will add new grips if the old ones are scuffed or marked. May send it to S&W for the slide to be refinished if it is significantly scratched or marked.
After shooting a couple of hundred rounds through it, will decide if I want to keep it. Shootability and the grip are critical; and of course it must be reliable. If I do not like the general feel of it, based on purely personal preferences, it will go on the market.
Good luck finding one. They appear intriguing and worth a serious look.

I like mine alot! It is just about the perfect size to carry, whether shoulder, iwb,owb, etc. holsters. Very accurate at short distance. Easy to use in a panic situation. "Fits" in the hand. My 14 yr old daughter loves it also because she claims it just "feels right" in her hand.

If I could change anything about my 6906 I would have an external hammer. Haven't quite figured out how to do this yet.
I guess I don't understand. All the pictures I have looked at, the 6906 has a hammer on the outside. It doesn't have a spur, but it is DA/SA with a de-cocker on the safety, right?
Yes it is.

That was my uniformed duty gun from 1989 until 1998. Even though its a compact pistol, i completed the FBI FIS in 1991 with mine and even finished 2nd in the class. Great pistol, you wont go wrong with one.
