The last week has presented some great opportunities in the 3rd gen S&W category. I was kind of bummed because the guy a few threads down found one at Keith's just days before I started my hunt.
Everything happens for a reason.
I picked up a 2nd owner 1 family 4506-1 with tons of .45 ammo, 7 magazines, Houge grips (which I took off- originals were perfect and I prefer them) nice leather holster and matching mag pouch. Condition was 90+ %. A little holster wear, but I'll get that out and it will be 100%. Shot perfect. Kicked the shells out 6-8' like clock work. Also has a new recoil spring which is a cool bonus.
Then last night I came across my 1006 on Armslist. Made a bit of a drive but hey, it was local. For just a few bucks more than the great deal at Keithes I picked up a pristine condition 1006 with over 200 rounds and 3 factory magazines. Original box, chamber flag, etc... all the same stuff the 4506-1 came with.
Got a 5906 on the way. It will need some scrubbing, but should be in good mechanical shape. For 360.00 shipped I can't loose.
And the real winner for me..? A 3914. Single stack stainless. Paid for, en'route, and will be added here when I acquire it.
For now here's the 4506-1 and the 1006. No.... these aren't going in the classifieds.
