Nice[emoji106]
Like all 3rd Gens, they are
good/accurate shooters.

I see you're new here so incase you didn't already know, 3913/3914 mags are the same as the 908.

Nice, very nice!
Did you just pick it up?

The pistol yes, frisbee no! Found it today for a very very nice price, figured I'd give the 3rd Gens one more try. Just need to see if I can use this one without constantly shooting super low.
 
It is a 6906. Range report! Historically I've always shot third gens really low. My old 6906, 3913, 5906TSW, 4566TSW, all the same deal. This was my last shot at digging this platform.

That's the first mag through it. Lower right was the first two DA pulls, then somehow I kinda just strung them up into the red slowly. Last round was a bit right with the DA trigger (these were all 20yds).

I put another 300 through it and now I'm pretty dead on with both SA and DA, though I'm curious to see if the improvement will still be there by next range day or if I'll be messing around all over again. Other than that it really is a lovely gun with a fantastic trigger, and I'd really love to start carrying it if I can maintain the POI.

That should get the job done.[emoji106]
The 6906 with a MecGar 17rd mag is my preferred EDC.
 
I really don't dig the target. Where I'm now I feel pretty good, but it's going to depend on the first fifty rounds the next range day. I'm usually a fairly good handgun shooter and I'd do a fist sized group in the red with the G19 shooting a little faster. But man the 6906 is such a fun gun
 
The serial# dates your Model 59 to about 1977. The finish is nickel plating, not stainless steel. Nice looking pistol.
 
Update on the 6906. Every time I bring it to the range I have to be super focused to have it shoot to point of aim, and it takes a couple mags for me to get there, and I have no idea why. None of my other pistols, auto or revolver, regardless of brand have this issue for me, just the 3rd gens. I think I'm done fighting it and will just sell it off sadly.

In more pleasant news, snagged this at a good price

Pretty impressed with it. Only issue I've noticed is that stupid barrel set screw that likes to undo itself, is there any reason not to use a dab of blue loctite on it?

I'm sorry to hear that you've had issues with your 6906.
I love mine.

It's not an issue with the gun, just with me. I've now had 2 6906s, a 5906, 5906TSW, 4563?TSW, and a 3913, and every single one of them has had this issue in my hands. The previous and current owners all love them. I guess the 3rd gens just aren't for me.
 
S&W Model 422 will not feed

I have a S&W Model 422 (.22) that I cannot pull the slide back far enough to strip a shell off the top of the clip, so consequently I cannot lock the slide back. I took the left grip off and can see the mechanism, but I still cannot make anything move enough to lock the slide back or to let it come back far enough to strip a fresh shell off of the magazine. It's perfectly clean, what can I do to make it function?

Welcome to the forum.
You will have much better luck getting help with your 422 if you start a new thread.

Happy holidays [emoji4]
 
While in N. Fla. for Christmas I stopped into a LGS not know for great prices but I had time to kill. Low and behold they have a 5904 and price out the door is $300. Well early birthday (24th) present to me. It did take 2 1/2 hours for the BC to come back but.... So here she is with some "new" old shoes that I had from my 5906. Look better here I think.
