| 100% Space Shuttle Door Gunner | Post; New Gun Itch again...This time I need your help... Okay, I've come between a rock and a hard place. I can get a used police trade in S&W 5906 for a total price of $323.86. That is the firearm itself, one 15 round magazine, one 10 round magazine, and case. That is not the sale price. That is the total price; Sale price plus tax and background check fee. I own FN Hi-Powers, GLOCKs, Beretta 92s, Walther P-38s, 1911s, etc... but I hav never owned a Smith & Wesosn Semi-Auto pistol in my life. Are they worth getting? Should I even bother? I'm not looking for a high speed tactical pistol. I'm just looking for another well built high capacity pistol for a good price. From what I have seen on gun broker and guns america. Average price for a used S&W 5906 is aorund $450. My blue book also prices said firearm around that price. I know the price is good but I'm just not sure on the model firearm. Do S&W 5906s feed JHP with a problem? Do they have known problems of FTF or FTE? In the end, I want another well built semi-auto 9mm pistol like my Beretta 92FS or GLOCK 17. Here are photos of the model that I might getting.

| Centurion | I've heard and read good reviews, but every single person didn't like that the 5906 cannot fire without the magazine connected. An extra safety feature I guess. Looks sexy. Another tool in the toolbox can't hurt.

| Can you hear me now?  | I have heard about that, too, Maytime. Anyway, S&W 5906 looks fine to me. I would buy it if I can.

| Tribuni Angusticlavii | Why not pick up the CZ-75 SP-01 Shadow?

| 100% Space Shuttle Door Gunner | Because CZ-75 SP-01 Shadow isn't at a steal of a price yet.... I will be getting a CZ-75 at some point in my life. The late Great Col. Jeff Cooper said that the CZ-75 is the best DA pistol ever made. This from the 1911 man himself. |

| Spam King | Ive used CZs before. They be great gubs. The CZ75 is one of the most reliable guns I've ever shot. It was comfortable, and I was on target. Of course, the reliability thing I may be biased. I'd just shot a Luger that jammed 3 times in the one magazine I shot. So this seemed like a million bucks.

| 100% Space Shuttle Door Gunner | I got it in my hands. When I purchased her she was all ugly and dirty. Now she's all clean and pretty. I'll post pictures soon. |
