New carry rig for the 6906.

Here is my latest acquisition, a low rounds 2206 in really good condition.
Really happy with it.
I had a little extraction problem with it when I got it and shot it after a fast cleaning and inspection but after a deep and proper cleaning, it has been flawless!
That will give a good deserved rest to my Victory as well.

The 5926, 4013 TSW, and 1006. All I need is a 1076 and one of those CHP 4006 TSWs and I'll be set. And maybe a 4566 too.

Working from home for the most part (essential employee), but still carrying my 6906.

I gave this Model 469 and a holster to my grandson after he had issues finding a decent CCW holster for his Makarov after Oklahoma adopted "Constitutional Carry."

Here's my one and only 3rd Gen S&W Auto.
The S&W 4006TSW CHP model. Only about 10,000 of these were ever made as part of a special order by the California Highway Patrol to Smith & Wesson, years after the 4006TSW had been discontinued on the civilian market.
My example shows a bit of external finish wear, but internally it's like new, which clearly indicates that while it was carried often, it was shot very little. The gun came shipped in a factory blue clamshell case which was not original to the firearm, (they were reportedly originally shipped to the CHP in cardboard boxes) and the grips have been replaced with brand new Hogue rubber grips, meaning the original grips were most likely broken. I've been debating on whether or not to replace the Hogues with a nice pair of KSD Rosewood Grips, but they're expensive and require a grip pin which wasn't included with mine since the Hogues are secured by screws.
Overall, I'm very impressed by just how tanky the 4006TSW CHP is. The gun is big, beefy, and heavy, but considering that I purchased this as a range gun, that's a good thing because it should soak up recoil of .40 S&W nicely and outlast me at the range.

This is a fairly early production model M&P .40 and it's been absolutely reliable right out of the box.
Although there appears to be a key lock in the frame there is none, but when it was manufactured all M&P frames had the provisions for the internal lock.
Model 61-2 Escort circa 1972, and despite a checkered reputation for reliability, this one runs great on CCI Mini Mags.
They should have kept making them IMO.

My EDC. A ruger Security 9 Compact.
Model 39-2
Just picked up this little cutie. I remember when they came out back in the late 70's. A friend of mine got one and we went to shoot it. Cool little gun. Then he got the model 59. Even cooler. I cant remember all the ones I have or had. But, I also just got a model 41 .22 and 4013TSW, 6906, 4506, 6946, .22 Victory, and lots and lots of revolvers.
