Ahh, third gen Smiths. I had one 6906, a pile of 4516s and two Shorty .45s. Every one of 'em would feed everything up to and including an empty case from the mag.
The 4516 were a bit heavy but wearing one out took work. But accurate? Oh hell no. Then I finally found a Shorty .45 I could afford and was in love. Shot the smallest offhand group with a pistol I ever did with the first one. Twenty yards, all eight rounds made a group that would completely hide behind a quarter. Much lighter than the '16s, it was a match made in heaven.
Then the support went to hell. *sigh*.
I do Glocks now, but if I had it to do over I should have just doubled down and stocked up on all the parts I needed, mags etc.
Such is life.

I believe this is the holster for the 6906 family of 3rd gens, if anyone is still looking. Will likely work with 3906 family as well. No affiliation with the seller.

I love 3rd Gen S&W's! I have 4 currently, 6906, 5906(2) and a 4506. All are PD trade ins in excellent(One of the 5906's is near mint) or better condition. I wish parts were easier to find. If some aftermarket company would make just a few parts for them, or S&W would, I would buy some just for peace of mind. It's kind of crazy to me that you can find a ton of parts for a Dan Wesson 15-2 online, but S&W 3rd gen parts are few and far between. I don't have any interest in S&W's current lineup of handguns, period.
Here. They had a bunch of other third-generation versions, these are what's left.
