Well, as I said in my earlier thread, I was looking for a 4013, but my love of the MIni-9 2nd and 3rd Gen S&W overcame me when I had an opportunity to get this minty 6906. Made a few changes, though.
First I had an extra stainless slide release, so I trimmed the the shelf down to the same dimensions of the original 469/669 ones. It doesn't need to stick out as far as the full size does.
Second, I replaced the Ambi stainless safty lever, with a black single side 469 safety lever. Less bulk on the left side, and no protrusions on the right side.
Third, I replaced the finger rest magazine base on one of my stainless mags with a 5906/4006 magazine polymer base. I trimmed it back so it does not protrude past the grip frame. I originally had a Model 59 steel base on it, but it stuck out, and I did not want to trim the steel one back. Besides, the polymer one trimmed to the frame gives just under 1/4" more grip.
I use several different holsters. I have a Milt Sparks "Summer Special" IWB, a DeSantie "Soft Tuck" IWB that allows the shirt to be tucked in, and a vintage Safariland 469 leather belt slide. I just leave that on my belt, and slip the 6906 out when I am at home. I have a spare magazine in the glove box of both my vehicles. I feel I am "well heeled" with this set up.
