When the Zombies attack or there is widespread civil unrest because of paranoia over the 2012 apocolypse (whichever comes first), I much prefer my 6906 over a Glock 19 or even a 17. I've owned shot, tinkered with bother. I trust my 6906.

6906

I love my 6906.... everything but the hammer. It has a bobbed hammer. I carry 12 and 1 in the pipe. I would prefer to fire the first round single action.
Other than that the gun is light and a great carry gun.

See? If you traded your 6946 off, I wouldn't be forced to do this

You are so kind! YOu really want a 69xx don't you? They are sweet guns...that is why I am having a hard time parting with mine

I now have a 3913NL with a Performance Center trigger job and a 3913 TSW.
I have one more acquistion to get (before my wife shuts me down) and it is a 6906. Ever since I fired one I have been possessed.

After the 6906 I'll just get a 3914 and maybe a 3953 and maybe by then you'll let me have your 6946.

Then I can finally start on the CS models.

I had a 3913 - AWESOME gun! I LOVE the 3rd gens!

I just picked up a sister gun, the 4013 the .40SW version. The 40 has quite a bit o kick to it but it seems to be pretty dang accurate, much more than I am, at least. I put about 150rds thru it at the last range visit and as I get used to the additional muzzle flip I am getting better groups. Maybe another 300rds and I should be shooting it as well as my XD9mm (2-3" slow fire 15-21'). .40SW is much more available in my area at least...

I just gave my 669 to my dad. I got myself a Sigma. The 669 is almost the same exact gun as the 6906 as far as I know. I liked that gun a lot, especially the da/sa w/ decocker.

The sigma has better sights, is a little lighter and the mag holds 16 rounds as opposed to 12, but doesn't have an external safety and is not double action, so I'm a little leary about carrying w/ a round in the boom tube.

You have a great reliable firearm, enjoy it!

Back in 1989 or 1990 I purchased a 6906 along with a 4516. I carried and fired the 4516 quite a bit but never even loaded the magazine on the 6906. It is still just hanging around in my safe, maybe someday I will take it out and use it. Probably after I wear out the 4516. LOL Only complaints with 3rd Generation pistols is the loooong triggers. I never could get used to them. They are built like tanks and will outlast all of we posters alive today.

6906 is a great pistol. I traded mine because I prefer the single-stacks but I liked it and the member I traded it to was real happy with it, too. Coming down from your father makes it even more meaningful. Hope you hand it down to your own son or daughter someday.

I expect to give each my son and daughter their choice from my collection when they turn 21. (I'm building twins into my collection in case they choose a favorite!!)

You probably already know this but, for those that might not, unless you're in a big hurry, you can fire the first shot single action if you start the hammer back with the trigger and catch it with your thumb and cock it all the way back. It is now cocked and ready to be fired in the sa mode.

Just got mine today, and after a very long wait (shipping and Washington state waiting period) and a serious cleaning I thought I'd show you. Sports very comfy rubber grips and neat concealing holster. Has some minor scratches and pitting on the frame and the night sights are dead. This is my first auto pistol (have a M10 revolver I bought about 6 months ago) and I have no regrets paying $295.00 (shipping and transfer fee included)!

What do you think?

 

[Jim PHL]

$295 including your shipping and transfer fees you got a great deal on that one, regardless of any cosmetic issues.

Here are some more pics of mine...

Holy cow! I thought mine was clean...that is sweet!

 

[Newbomb]

Thanks! My late father passed this gun down to me, he shot it maybe twice (50rds) and put it in the safe, after he died it sat in a safe for almost 10years. I just got the safe opened and enjoying my father's gift!!

 

[ab4ka]

my dad's guns are very special to me...he was like my best friend so I'm glad I got them. You definitely got a nice one!

 

[Newbomb]

I actually am looking for a 5906 or 4506 to replace it for carry. I don't want it to get scuffed up. I don't care if I make it a safe queen!

Thanks for sharing such kind stories about your fathers. I'm sure they would be very proud to know how much you loved them and it's a compliment to them for raising such fine sons.
