What is the difference between the S&W 910 & 915?

Magazine capacity. 10 vs 15

There is another recent thread on this in this sub forum. Essentially, the 910 is a less expensive version of the 915. The 915 in it's turn is a "Value Line" version of the 5904.

While the 910 was sold with 10 round magazines during the AWB era, 14 or 15 round 5904/06 or 915 magazines will fit.

Both the 915 and 910 are less well finished 3rd generation pistols than the 59xx guns. Less machining on the slides, more plastic parts on the 910, and so on.

Search this forum over the past week or so and you'll see a much more detailed description of the differences.

The 915, IMO, is to be preferred.

It is a 5904 with older 669 series rear sight and the frame lacking the dust shield fluting of the 5900 series.

The 910 has a plastic recoil guide rod, plastic sights (different pattern), more angular looking slide and frame. Lastly, the barrel slide lock up is different than the 5900 series.

Both had the slide mounted safety/decocker on the left side only (for right handed shooters).

Also the 915 came with one 15 round magazine and the 910 came with 10 round magazines (with a coupon to allow you to buy one 15 round magazine, factory direct).

Thanks!

There are a number of these currently on the surplus market for about $200. I was curious......
