I couldn't find the original MSRP price for a 1994 5906, so I'm asking here. Someone has to know, thanks.
What was the MSRP for a 5906 back in 1994?

$785 with night sights and a hundred less without.

Wow, so $700 in 1994, adjusted for inflation is now ~$1220.
Data here on MSRP.....search by model number.

The link that Armorer posted said $751 with standard three dot sights. That was big dollars back then considering that surplus 5906's are going for ~$320 today, a steal today when you think about it.

Exactly, but what would the MSRP be today IF S&W were to actually make them today? (I know that it is an impossibility just due to the machines, tooling and the knowledge is all way gone AND the total lack of interest for quality all steel S&W pistols by all of us today, (
rolleyes:,)) but....)I remember reading here that “someone” with “insight” said it would cost over $1,200 today for S&W to make a 645 now days IF they could. That’s not including any profit.

I paid $331.00 for one of the 6906's I built at one of my armorer recertification classes in 1989. Still big bucks back then.
Smith and Wesson charged me $2.50 freight to send it to the house.

Heck, I only paid $535 with tax for my 1006 in 1992. I say "only", but that was a lot money to me back then.
In 1989, the first year they came out, they were $621 for fixed sights & $651 for adjustable.
The NOTE below it says (20) rounds mags were also available for it.

S&W semi-auto pistols back in the day were always pricey. It has been my experience that firearms are a lot like cars. Always most expensive to buy when brand new and on the dealer's lot. Buying second hand from a dealer gets you a lower price, but with some dings and mileage. Buying used from the owner gets the lowest price, but not likely to come with any warranty or return policy.
If you hang on to it long enough, the value will bottom out and then slowly increase as quantity diminishes and if demand increases.

my 5906 leo trade in
Yes, I bought a really nice LEO trade in from gunbroker for $325.00. I bought some new OEM grips from midway and it looks and shoots great! I took it to the range the other day and it shot 1 inch groups at 25 feet. Very happy with it.
