I Love my 5903!

For some reason, I just couldn't group well with my old 6906. Shots were way high. So I sold it and bought a very nice 5903. I've had one or two of those in the last, plus at least 3 5906's and a couple of 915's.

I took my new to me 5903 to the range today. Shredded the center of the target at 15 yards. Opened up a bit at 25, but still in the kill zone. Double action trigger is nice and smooth. No issue with transitioning to SA (I prefer that operating system as I also love Berettas). Feel much more comfortable decocking and holstering with my thumb on the hammer. Not to mention they are much better looking than anything plastic.

I have a Ruger SR9 thst I am also very proficient with, but still a bit more careful holstering a striker fun, even one with a safety.

I love this gun. S&W should never have stopped making those. I know they're in the business to make money, but most shooters who came on the scene since they discontinued them don't even know about the 3rd gen's. They just think striker fired is the way to go since it's pretty much their only option.

I recently acquired a new to me 5903. My very first gen 3 Smith. It is so accurate and so much fun to shoot, I can't believe it took me so long to get one. I was never a big 9mm fan. I have a 92fs and a BHP but they neither one was ever a favorite go to gun. I was more into my 1911's and various .40 S&W autos. My 5903 has lead me to buy a 645 and a S&W 1911sc. Now my appetite is for more Smith autos.

I've always had an infinity for the 5904, the blued version of the 5903. Weight is just right while the 5906 is heavy on my belt!

What's not to love? Light weight, high capacity, smooth action AND it's a Smith & Wesson! One of the best of the breed they ever produced!

Right there with you on the 5903, a lot of fun to shoot and very accurate. Just picked up a 4566tsw, so yeah I like the 3rd generations.
