S&W 1006

That's insanity. I would never pay that for one. I wouldn't even pay $100

Well, I tend to agree. However, if you got a deal on a gun that sells for well over 1 Grover Cleveland and it didn't have a mag or only had 1 mag, it might be a worthwhile investment to pay that much.

My 1006 had a bent extractor. It worked fine with a shim, but a new one was going to cost over $40. I had serious heartburn about paying that much for an extractor, but finally realized because of the value of the gun, the extractor was worth the investment.

Great score! Any of the 10XX are cool to have. Hunting for reasonably priced mags is half the fun. Luckily, they all take the same mags.

I am content with my 1006 and 1076, my favorite of the 10XX.

P.S. I prefer the fixed rear sight over the adjustable.

And spare 10XX-series mags, if you can even find them, are going for north of $100, especially if they have the upgraded "tactical" white followers.

I have 10xx mags with yellow and white followers. Have had no problems with either.
What makes the white one "tactical "?

I love my Ten Ought Six. I was lucky to have received five spare mags with the gun when I bought it back in 2017. I did upgrade each mag to the white followers and installed new Wolff springs in each one. It's crazy what some magazines go for these days. It's one thing when we are talking high condition, original mags for guns that are 75 or even 100 years old but for guns that are only out of production for a couple of decades ?

But the market sets the prices and they go up more every year. Obligatory photo.

That was tongue and cheek.

Yea I've seen them on there. Only ever looked once and instantly left the page.

Here in PA there are little mom and pop gun shops scattered all over the countryside. I could make my rounds and find some for way way less than that I'm sure.

That was tongue and cheek.

For all intensive purposes, too!

I remember years ago paying around $100 for a Steyr GB magazine thinking that was crazy. The S&W 10mm magazines have surpassed those.

A few years ago when the parts were still available I assembled and sold on Ebay the S&W 10mm magazines for $70 - in the end I made maybe $5 each profit. Unfortunately I only kept two extras for myself before the tubes sold out!

The $250.00 ones were allegedly touched by Sonny Crockett.

I just bought a 1066. My first 10 mm but not my first steel S&W. Can't wait to shoot it.

Glad I found my latest 4 here in the classifieds for $250
I have about 10 (and a bunch of spare followers), so I only buy when I find a great deal, which is now anything under a C note.

I am tempted every time that I see one, but like Lugers the price keeps going up, and the time never seems right. Nice acquisition.

They are not making anymore... the time is only going to keep getting worse.

They are not making anymore.

That's certainly the most popular theory.
