Hello from the Netherlands.

[Teilmantel]

Hello people,

My name is Guido, 43 years, married to Wendy, father of 2 beautiful daughters and tugboat captain for daily job, in the Dutch port of Rotterdam
I’ve been an avid sportshooter for many years, collector of custom knives and W.W.II relics. Also a motorcycle freak.
Throughout my shooting career I’ve always enjoyed the S&W revolvers, my current one being a 6” 686 , which is rather tricked out. Recently I picked up a 5906 9mm Performance Center 5” Target Champion Pistol, known as a German “ Wischo” edition.
I hope to learn more about this Gem, especially a source for a recoil spring!
Looking forward soeaking and learning from you on the forum!

Guido.

Welcome aboard from a retired Marine Electronics tech.
Bought too many Smiths and am saving up for another oar.

I was not responsible for any of Bouchard's accidents.

Pro tip. Buy one that's the same length.

Welcome Guido! I enjoyed visiting your country in 1976 as part of the US contingent at the Vierdaagse 100 mile march at Nijmegen! Enjoyed enough to make a couple of repeat visits!

Welcome Guido, from South Carolina.

That's quite an impressive port to work in. It also appeals to my inner Don Quixote.

You may want to try Wolf Springs for your 'spring needs'.


I have a 686 and a 5943. It seems we have similar tastes.
