S&W 669 9mm

[DeafSmith]

Well at a pawn shop they have a pretty good condition S&W 669 9mm. He offered $400 OTD.. but I'm rather broke now... oh well..

Looks like this:



Say how accurate was these guns? I have the 3913, 3914, and a 6906 but not the earlier 669.

I presume it uses the same mags as the 6906.

Thanks.

I've had two 469s over the years, and they've both shot and handled great!

I've got one in my current EDC rotation. Love it!

I have a 469, apparently never issued surplus for the Illinois State Police which I have had for years. I have found it to be a fine weapon.

My 669 came with the appropriate 2nd gen magazines but your 3rd gen 6906 mags work just fine. That's a really decent price and it would be a nice introduction to 2nd gen guns. You'll likely prefer the grip and sights of the 6906 but a lot can be said about that "old school cool" factor of the 669.
Mine had been machined for Novak night sights and likes the 59 series magazines with the PGS adapter.

Accuracy will vary from one firearm to the next, but the 469/669 introduced the fixed barrel bushing in S&W pistols. As such, they tended to be more accurate than many of the 39/x39 and 59/x59 pistols with the removable barrel bushing. I would expect the average 469 or 669 to be as accurate as the average 6904 or 6906.

My 669 is my CC gun in summer, and a 915 in winter. Fine weapons and certainly more accurate that I am. ULTIMATELY dependable. That's what is important to me. Never had a failure (knocking on wood desk)!

469/669 are great guns and shoot every bit as well and accurately as your 6906. The sights on the 469/669 are the short fall.

The front sight is integral to the slide, and the rear sight is not cut for Novak sights. They are still great guns, but that price seems kind of high. The second gen mini's usually come in cheaper than third gen's because of the sights.. that said, there are still some good deals to be had..

I think that's a great price and it looks good too. I just picked one up for $475.00 and was glad to get it.

I have 2 669's , they are great guns , accurate . One of mine I shipped off to Guzzitaco and he worked his magic on it . I ended up having him put an Sig Romeo on it , makes it a fun plinker . I put a 20rd 5900 mag in it and go to town .

My 669 had accuracy issues, after 2 magazines the holes started to cloverleaf instead of the same hole like the first and second magazine.......

that very picture has had me on the hunt for a square-guard 6906 slide for some time now!
