I have a Model 6906 in 9mm and use it for CCW. Have gunsmith or someone gun savy look it over etc. before you buy used. A very realiable weapon.

The 5906 is a great gun. I have a 3913 (single stack, alloy frame) which in my opinion is better to carry, due to the weight and the single stack mag. You can't go wrong with any of the 3rd generation Smith & Wesson autos. Your 5906 will be a nice shooting gun. I actually prefer these older autos to the new polymer framed guns.

I'm looking all over for a 3913, but so far no luck

I didn't end up going with it, but I'll keep that info in mind when I do decide to go shopping for one. Thanks!

That's a good price on a 5906 in decent cosmetic shape. I just lucked out and got one in the box, looks almost new, for $325, with two mags. An equal 5906 usually is about $400.

CDNN has :

S&W 6906 for $329

S&W 5906 for $299

I bought a 5906 for old time memories and it was in great shape.



It's a very good gun & a great price ... built like a tank ..

Still a good shooter.

Better get ya one.

Dang it, why must you post tempting things when I'm out of "discretionary income"?

I'll keep an eye on it though, at $300 I might just go ahead and see if I can work it into my budget. Thanks for the link!

I was going to the range today anyway.

So after posting this ... I decided to take the 5906 along.

If you were there you'd have seen the smile on my face.

It brings back good memories and is still (20 + years later) still a fine gun.
