    Anyone else here collect Smith and Wesson Semi Autos?

    Over the past year I have fallen in love with Smith and Wesson Semi Autos. So far I have found the 669, 5904, and a 5905 and must admit I wish I had discovered these sooner. Surprisingly comfortable to shoot and the quality is pretty nice to be honest.

    I like M41s but the rest are weird.
    It's not PTSD, it's nostalgia.

        You missed out. I just sold a lnib 910. It is the budget aluminum framed version of the 59 series in 9mm.


        I've shot a 3906 many times. Besides being a huge heavy 8 shot gun, it is a dream to shoot. I'd like to find a leo trade in 5906. With all the scratches and holster wear goodness. Has to have the novak cut night sights. A dept. stamping/engraving would be cool too.

          Watch J&G (overpriced), AIM Surplus, Centerfire Systems, and folks like that for police trade-ins. They're scarcer now, but they get some every once in a while. Good way to pick up 9mm & .40 3rd Gens, at least.

            The 40’s look pretty solid, will be keeping an eye out. Any recommendations on the 3rd Gen 9mm and 40’s.

                A 910 would have been so cool!

                I love LEO trade ins, have found some interesting ones lately.

                        Too late. I sold two unfired 59's earlier this year. Still have a steel 39, a 5 digit 39, and 3 39-2's. Not for sale (this year).

                        I like shooting the 39. Bought my first one in 1968. 59's are a little bulky but OK.

                        I wont go into the 41's. Lovely shooters.

                            I had a 39 that I couldn't hit the side of a barn with even if I left powder burns on it. What a POS. I have a 6906 I'm comfortable with out to about 30-40 yards. The rest of my current S&W collection (I sold 8 others) is the 6906, 642 and a raw 39 forging. I should sell that to someone with a collection of 39s.

                              I can't say I collect them. I only have one third gen S&W semi now, but I love it. It's a CS9, one of the smallest double action metal pistols ever made. It is not easy to find in California.

                              There are lots of others I would like to pick up. High on that list is a CHP 4006. The rest of the country has been buying them cheap (less than $400) for months, but we can't. My tax dollars, and yours, paid for those, and it kills me to be locked out from them.
