Sold
I purchased this weapon new in 1990. Smith & Wesson's price at that time was $724.00 if you could find one. The day I received it I shipped it, unfired, to BarSto Precision. I requested that their master law enforcement gunsmith install and fit their match grade barrel and give my weapon their complete reliability and accuracy treatment (options offered at the time to LEOs). The law enforcement discounted total cost for the fitted barrel and the hand fitting they did on the action, slide and barrel came to $400.00. When I got it back I fired one magazine full (+1) of 13 rounds of Winchester Silvertip hollowpoints. Needless to say the reliability was 100% and the accuracy was awesome. Today you can find a used one on Gun Broker in the neighborhood of $365.00 or so, but 85% and without all the BarSto work, magazines, box, etc. This "as new" weapon has been resting comfortably in my climate controlled safe (after a thorough cleaning) ever since. I intended to use it as an off-duty carry weapon but I had so much time and work in my Colt Officer's Model, not to mention lots of .45 ammo that was already paid for, my 6906 never saw the light of day after that. It comes with a used basket weave Safariland holster and double mag pouch that I picked up at a gun show several years ago, and the six 12 round magazines that you see in the photo. Since I no longer own any large capacity weapons I will also include a Galco double magazine pouch for a Galco shoulder holster, and an Assault Systems nylon single magazine pouch all of which I also purchased at a gun show. The box, all the papers, cleaning rod, etc. that came with it are also included.
