Anyone have one of those Wheels?

I do, sitting in my gun room. I plan on putting it up for "bid" here as a fundraiser for this forum.

I really like my S&W 5904. Bought in 88-9 new. Carried it when I needed to and now pretty often as I carry all the time. It has never jammed. Shoots great and feels good.
Recently, after finally getting my CCW, I filed the rear tang to smooth out the sharp points and am thinking of doing more around the magazine release.
I often hear that in trials this gun did not do as well as some others but for me this is a good gun. On occasion I read about all these SIG's that are so wonderful or XD's or Glocks and start thinking I need one but economic reality wakes me up. Besides, I see no reason to part with my 5904.
Sorry about no picture. I am working on that.

"I often hear that in trials this gun did not do as well as some others but for me this is a good gun."

That's not true. If your speaking of the original military test, the 5904 did very well. The Sig P226 and Beretta 92F did better with the selection going to Beretta because of the lower cost.

Yes, the 5904 did very well.

rags,
That's a FINE looking firearm you've got there!
You may be in for quite a ride. I've only got the one, but I'm
feeling strange urges these days; it won't be long 'til I give in.

Thanks TACC1. My problem was that I have a safe full of revolvers but didn't really know that much about S&W Semi's. IT"S ALL LEE'S FAULT!!! This is a really good place to learn of such things!

The members here have been such a great help to me, filling my knowledge hole in my brain, it's hard to miss a day! I might miss something.

What you guys may or may not believe is I never HAD a problem spending $$$$!!! I don't need that kind of help...

It's really not considered a problem until you have multiples of the same model.

Whew...thanks for clearing this up. My wife was getting worried.

My friend, you have quite a collection.

 

[cobra357]

Well I added one to my collection yesterday. A 4506-1.

That looks immaculate. Congrats on the purchase.

It appears to have never been or very rarely fired. As a matter of fact it appears to still have the smaller factory installed spring in it. There was a larger one in the box with a notice about changing to a 7" spring. I may have overpaid, but I'm happy and that's all that matters.

I had for the past year been looking at all the cop trade in S&W 3rd gen. pistols, out there, and had been thinking about getting one as a cheap truck gun, just wanted one was all, that was three pistols ago. Im hooked i gess.

I have to stop getting on gunbroker. I've already got a 3913, 3913TSW (no rail), and a 4516-1. All in the past year. I was cruising Gunbroker for a 6906 or a 4513TSW and ran across a 3913LS for $399.
I clicked "commit to buy". It is an addiction.
Pics when I get it.
