My New 5946 From Cabela's

Hate to resurrect an old thread but I just scored a 5946. It was one of the Cabelas guns sold last year to a local who fired 100 rounds through it and decided to swap it to me. It's a Houlton gun with 3 mags, original box, lock and owners manual. Fired casing is 2013, sights are 2013 and 2014.

This is my first 3rd gen DAO so looking forward to trying this out. I have Wolf hammer springs ordered to reduce the trigger pull weight.

My first Sig was a P250 compact which is DAO but less trigger pull weight so I'm hoping the 5946 will feel similar after changing the hammer spring.

Makes me want a 5906 now.....
 
I carried a 5946 in the 90's. Felt a lot safer carrying it with 46 rounds (16rds + 2 15rd Mags) as opposed to the Model 10 with 24 rounds ( 6 + 2 speed loaders + 6 on loops) gun was accurate and the trigger was similar to the revolver it replaced.

I just bought a Brinks 5946TSW & NYPD 5946. I can tell the trigger will take some getting used to. The two clicks on the trigger release throw me off.
 
Installed a Wolf 15 pound spring Saturday morning but can't tell. much difference in trigger pull. I agree, the reset is weird having the two clicks for reset. I'll see if I can measure the pull and post it here later this week.
