new to me 5946

[jmathis84]

I picked up a nice 5946 today. I really like this gun. I have always like the 3rd gen autos. My question is where do i get extra mags and a good holster for it? i ran 50 rounds through it earlier and it performed flawless. Now i just need a 4566 and a 4043 and ill be happy. I have been bit by the 3rd gen bug and i like it.

After getting home and cleaning the gun i noticed my rear sight was loose. I tried to tighten it up but the screw freespun. Is this something i can fix myselrf or do i need a smith to take a look at it.

I can't help with the sight, but I would recommend Mec-Gar mags at mecgar.com. They sell high quality mags with a redesigned follower that allows 17 rounds instead of 15.

I picked up some of the 17rd MecGar's from Wideners for $18 each.

How do they work

The MecGar mags are reported to be as good as the OEM mags. MecGar makes magazines for some gun manufactures.

Alessi holster for a S&W #5946. Very comfortable, secure, and hugs the body. The #5946 carries well in this rig. Google Lou Alessi holsters. Many of the custom holster makers on this forum offer similar designs at competitive prices.
