S&W 3906 Before & After

I don't think the photo does this gun justice, but I'm happy with how it turned out.

Nice job cleaning up your 3906!!!
If you have the older 8rd mags,
S&W has flush updated 9rd mags for your 3906.

Thank you!

I realized I had no Smith & Wesson autos, so this was a nice addition to the stable. It came with no magazines so I purchased (from eBay) a single 9 round magazine.

Nice clean up and slide polishing.

Do you know the backstory with the orange numbered grips?

When I see something like that I think that may mean it's been working in a prison/jail system or some type of security /law enforcement training duty.

[TripleThreat]

Great guess, it was used as a trainer (Trainer #4).

Which 8rd mag fits a 3906? I'm fairly certain a 1st gen 39 or a 3nd gen 439 type will not fit in a 3906.

439 would be a 2nd gen gun, and I am fairly sure that they do fit.

Great Job!

Nice!

it looks great and hats off to you for maintaining the integrity of your pistol.

Thanks everyone, I'm going to update photos tomorrow. That photo looks horrible, lots of background reflections on that nice stainless steel.

Thanks again!

Yes I know that, made a typo when I put that. I'll drag out my 909 later and see if a model 39 magazine fits.

The first photo reminds me of a gun you would check out from the tool shack at high school wood shop class. Great job cleaning it up OP.

I just tried a 1st-2nd gen model 39/439 type 8 round magazine in a 3rd gen model 909 full size single stack and the 8 shot magazine is too short to lock in to place. Actually there is 4 lengths of S&W 9mm single stack magazines not counting guns like the single stack compact Sigma SW9m which takes a different style of magazine entirely.
