The Dark Side of 3rd Generation Autos

[ISCS Yoda]

I had a lovely 457 that I thought was delicious in its all black colors (hard to call it blue). A friend of mine still has it.

Naturally, my 6906 is of the other persuasion, as is my CS-45. But only a scant two months ago I got deliberately serious about obtaining a CS-9, found three on line in the stainless coloration (I am sure there is a better name for it) but for 100 plus bucks less I obtained a blued one and am delighted. If I get the original stocks I might use them but that light blue contrast is kind of cool.

Then there is the 5903 SSV, but that is a horse of a different color entirely!!!!!

The contrast on that CS-9 is sweet. It makes stand out a little more. Great set of guns there!

Thanks, Texas!!!

First time I've ever heard that term used in connection with firearms.

for sure sounds funny now that I go back and look. "set" came to mind because he has multiple Chief Specials.

We should just stop now, before we get into trouble!

I've successfully avoided the 3rd. Gen. Dark Side. I own two 2nd. Gen S&W pistols and the balance of my S&W pistols are 1st. Gen.! If the Model number has more than three digits, avoid it like the plague.

 

[0849]

I have to admit, I was enticed to go to the Dark Side, the ultimate 3rd gen black pistol.

You don't know what you're missing... or: Great! More 3rd gen pistols available for the rest of us!

I wish I could find square trigger holsters for it a little easier.

Great find!

I hear you brother, I've given up trying to find a shoulder rig for my early 4506.[emoji20]



Today is all we have, live it to the fullest!

That's not the ultimate 3rd gen dark side THIS IS!

Got a few dark side 3rd gens
Mk 3 Shorty .40

CS 9

6904

And a 3914

 

[digiroc]

... Depending on how attached I was a a Value Line gun, I might "ruin" one by having it Ceracoated.

Found another. Side by side

 

[MattyD380]

This was my first 3rd gen. Bought it off a guy on this forum, pretty much in mint condition. Makes a great carry gun and it's a great shooter. After enjoying this example for a while, I bought a 3913TSW pre-rail, in unfired condition. I never shot that gun as well as this 6904. Sold the 3913. This is one stays.

 

[digiroc]

They are rare but out there ...

I'd love to find a 5905 to go with my 5906.

[digiroc]

Back is beautiful ...

I like all my carry guns to be black. I'm not into flashy weapons when used for serious business. The only flash I like an attacker to see is muzzle flash.

[Smoke]

I don't have a photo but the very first handgun I ever owned was a model 915

 

[FUBAR-M1A]

I actually like the black better than the silver.

 

[TAROMAN]

I'm in on the black. Looked a long time for a nice 5904.
I use it for 3-gun as the magazines also fit my Marlin Camp 9.

 

[Poohgyrr]

Where did you guys find those wood grips?
