For those of you looking for 6906 magazines

[WaterburyBob]

Every site I've looked has been out of 12-round 6906 (69-series) factory magazines for a while - even Smith & Wesson.

I just got an e-mail from S&W saying they were shipping my back-ordered 6906 magazines (ordered 10/28/08), so I would think they should start showing up at the online dealers soon.

They have indeed been scarce. Thanks, Bob...

For my tastes I wouldn't even be messing around with the 12rd'ers.

The S&W "+2 mag extender" allows you to use the 15rd 5906 mags and "looks" factory doing it. The additional three rounds is a good thing, and I like the "feel" of the pistol with the larger mags over the factory ones of 12rds with fingertip ext. on it.

The "+2 extender" (ordered directly from SW)cost about $6 each, and the 5906 mags cost the same (from CDNN)as the 6906 mags. And I believe the supply of 5906 mags is much greater than the 6906 gun mags.

Just personal opinion.. I've got two 12rd mags, and two 15 rd mags and I never take the original 12rd mags out of the plastic case anymore.

Just a thought..

Best Wishes,

Jesse

Is there a trick to find these mag extenders on the Smith site? I've tryed several times with no luck!

 

[WaterburyBob]

I have a number of 5906 mags with the extenders; I wanted some standard sized, flush-fitting 12-round mags.

Brownells also sells the "extender", although at a little higher price than S&W.
Their part number is 940-000-654 (Mag Butt Plate/Grip W/2 adapt).

I just called S&W @ 1-800-331-0852 picked the "retail sales" option, and ordered 2 from the salesperson.

There WAS a "backorder" of several weeks, but I had the same "backorder" experience when I ordered a couple of mag fingertip extensions for my 3913LS.

Give 'em a call, and I think you'll certainly be able to at least place an order, even if you have to wait several weeks for delivery.

I REALLY like the 6906 better with the larger capacity mags @ +2 extender over the standard ones.

Best Wishes,

Jesse

I am glad I stocked up on 6906 mags a few months ago. J&G sales had used ones for a good price though I am not sure if they still have anymore in stock.

 

[WaterburyBob]

Summit Gunbroker has used 6906 mags.

Rev. Charlie, I just sent you an e-mail.

 

[REVCHARLIE]

Email reply sent.

How much are the 6906 mags going for now? I saw several in a box last Friday at a local mom/pop shop while buying #3913/908 mags, I did not bother to price them. I will call the shop Monday if anyone is interested, but would have to go get them and mail them out. That shop owner doesn't bother to do such things.

 

[tgardner]

I'm very interested. PM me after you figure out a price.

 

[ColbyBruce]

I have no idea how to P.M. someone on this forum, please explain how.

Thanks for the info, I knew how to find a email address in the profile, but thought there might actually be P.M. capability on this forum.

I doubt this local guy will beat KY Imports prices, I paid $25.00 each for the #3913/908 mags. I will still give him a call and ask. I send him alot of business.

 

[ColbyBruce]

What other model S&W's would these mags fit? I would want to try them in a gun before I purchased them. I ran all of the single stack mags I bought through my #908 before I paid for them. I have access to a S&W #469, if the mags are the same.

 

[TN RAT]

AFAIK the 469 would take any 15 shot mags Smith has, but not the 12 shot.

 

[ColbyBruce]

I can get used #6906 mags for $13.00 each, however, I have to buy the box of 180 and 8 #3913 mags, just don't have a spare $2,444.00 lying around (if I did the math right).
