S&W 3rd Gen Semi Autos

Is that a smooth frontstrap? I thought I remembered my old one having serrations on the front.

It is but it's also the value series so some corners were cut. You might be thinking of the 4516

I came across these 5906's today being sold by Buds as new/used/display guns. They have front slide serrations and what look like slide ball cuts on the front. A poster on another forum said they called Smith and was told a production time of 2009. Anybody know what these are?

Wow! I missed that somehow. That is pricey but for an all stainless NIB 5906 it's not bad too bad.
I wonder if the followers and springs in the mags be changed to make them a 15 round?

If the mag body isnt dimpled you should be able to.

Do you recall the NIB surplus guns that sold a few years back? Don’t recall the model or the price but seems like they ended up at $850 and were 5906s????

Memory - second thing to go.

Maybe the 5946's that were made in Holton that were sold at gander and cabelas

I am a big fan of these too, especially the TSW versions with integral light rails. There seem to be a ton on the market right now, I believe they are ex-CHP. I see the 4566 and some 9mm variants with integral rails on the market every so often.

I believe the West Virginia State Police issues a really cool 4566 with integral rail and melonite finish to their officers.

There were some 3953TSW and 3914DAO that were NIB a couple years ago, I managed to snag one of both.

I've been debating unloading my 45ACP and 10mm 3rd Gens. I just don't shoot often enough anymore to keep the money tied up in them. Then I went on gunbroker and saw what 10mm magazines are selling for, and I'm sitting on a fortune there too.

I'd hold on to them. The prices should continue to rise.

Unless you got anything other than a 457 or 4506-1

Man look at the disgrace done to an otherwise excellent CS9

Wow, and they still want $450 for it!
For the right price I would buy it and send it back to S&W to be refinished.

You'd have to probably get them down to 150 to break even after sending back. A sad excuse though for sure

Only 45's I've got is a CS45 and a two-tone 457. I'd probably hold onto my 1086 and sell the 1076. Outside of that, I'll probably dump a bunch of my 1911's, given the chance. At this point, I just don't shoot enough to make it worth keeping everything I've got, plus priorities in life changed. I realized that while I "collected" guns, I didn't have a true collection, just a bunch of guns I've bought. Trying to downsize and focus the collection is the way forward for me, IMO.

That cs45 would make a fine addition to my collection. With the prices rising over the years on 3rd gens I've been more focused on that than some of my other collecting. I'm pretty much where I want to be in my CZ's minus a 97b, 32acp CZ83 and maybe a new 75 to race out. Everything else is a one or 2 and done.

I don't believe plastics will ever increase in value once manufacturing ends.

The only exception I can think of is a 1st gen Glock.

Give ya' what you gave for the 1076!

Im pretty sure the CZ Phantom has increased in price, if the increase will remain is yet to be seen.

Awesome gun. I won’t let the opportunity go by to show mine off. Lol.

It’s sporting a 45 can but I have a Ti rant 9m in jail for it.

Very nice, wish I would've got one before the price almost doubled.
