SW908

[skeezix]

Recently picked up a S&W 908 (value line). Two 8-round magazines. NIB With everything from the factory. Fired case dated 6/21/04.

Local purchase, so no shipping/tax/FFL fee. Probably overpaid @ $500, but I got to inspect it before purchase.


Now I need to make or buy a holster for it. It will likely become an occasional "carry gun".

Looks great, like it's brand-new. I'd say you're in it just right. Congratulations!

Sweet ! I own a 908, and love it dearly! It is my bedside companion. Carry Holsters can be a problem..Since I seldom carry the 908, I keep it in a cheapo Fobus GS2 OWB holster in a drawer,,,

I forgot to add..I bought new Hogue rubber grip panels, they really fit my hands..
S&W 3913 series Rubber Grip Panels - 9mm, Single Stack Mag. - Compact Semi Automatic Pistols - Grips for Smith & Wesson - Handgun Grips - Hogue Products

Nice. These value line pistols are solid and the 908 is particularly "carryable." Well done.

$500 is about fair market price these days. When regular no nothing Model 10s are bring in $600 and a Model 686 is over $1,000.... you did good.

Very nice! I bought my 908 new in 1999. Novak offers, or at least did, an adjustable rear sight that fits the 908. It is screw adjustable for elevation. Windage is by brass punch.

I'd say that you did good on that one.

Congrats!

I have a 908s which is at Guzzitaco getting his treatment . Luckily we found a blued slide so I will have both , plus I can switch out and have a two tone which I like the looks of . Guzzi fitted an LPA on the blued slide so I can get the most out of it with my eyesight . Probably should have gone with a Sig Romeo like I did on my 45Recon and 745 .

Those Value Series guns can be just that, a great value! Although to those of us who have reached a state of Old Fartdom $500 sounds like a bunch of money, in today's market it's quite reasonable. IMHO, you got a good, solid, utilitarian 9mm at a reasonable price. Enjoy it.

Holster

Bought a NOS Don Hume pancake holster from a SWF member.


Gun fit was extremely tight, so I inserted the gun and left it for 3 weeks. Still a little too tight - will let it stretch for another couple of weeks.

Nice! It looks almost new.

Tight Holster

Find a mens dress sock and put gun in it then jam it into the holster. Works quite well.

Zip-Loc

Find a mens dress sock and put gun in it then jam it into the holster. Works quite well.

Actually, I'm using a Zip-Loc baggie.

I've used the same "baggie stretch" method on a couple of other too-tight holsters and it works quite well. Just have to have patience.

If you're looking for IWB, get a Crossbreed Supertuck. You'll forget you're wearing it.
