For 3rd Gen S&W lovers

[Det1397]

In the last couple of weeks I came across an old school 469 and a couple of Third Gens for my collection. The 3904 is NOS, the 469 is “as new” and the CHP4006TSW is a trade-in. There’s quite an attraction for these, and other, steel S&W pistols, as can be attested by the availability, or lack there of, on the forums and auction sites.

I stopped frequenting Smith & Wesson Forum because posts like this were causing me to accumulate them at an alarming rate. 3904 is still on my list though, dammit. Nice finds.

That 3904 is sweet! Before I finally managed to swear off accumulating for the sake of accumulating, a 3906 was high on my want list.

Here's a 909 on gunbroker: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/896506977

Might scratch a similar itch to a 3906/3904.

I regret selling my 6906 I bought new. Don't remember what prompted me to get rid of it. I did buy a used 5906 a few years back. The DA/SA is smooth and reminds me of a K-frame S&W revolver. Somewhere around '76-'78 I did buy a new model 59, blue. I had to send it back to S&W due to a feeding issue. They fixed under warranty and it never missed a beat.
