New to me 4046TSW DAO 40 cal. Came out of a pawn shop in Florida, found on gunbroker. Is marked with a Brinks security crest and came with a heavily used safariland holster. Right side of the grip shows heavy wear from what im guessing where it rubbed against a seat belt.

Was 1500 beans at the lgs, had the factory pc case, however one of the lock latches on the case was snapped.
Been looking for one for pretty much 7+ years after having a random airsoft gbb by well back in the day.
Wanted to ask. Are these novak front sight cut? I know it has a fiber front sight but id prefer it being a trintium dot. And wanna make sure im ordering the right sight. Torn on .180 and .200

I found this 910 offline a few weeks ago. The first time I took it out and shot it, the slide would lock to the rear and the slide stop would even fall out. Turns the plunger on my guide rod that holds the slide stop in was missing. I ordered a metal 5900 series metal guide rod (with plunger) off of numrich. That seems to have got everything into ship shape. Its a beautiful gun and came with one 10 round mag. Luckily the gun store I work at had 8 5900 series mags. Guess who bought all 8.

Picked this up from the ffl today and it came with two OEM mags that appear identical but one doesn't drop free. Are there any common issues to look for with these? I stripped the frame down and cleaned everything in the ultrasonic already with no change.
Also I've gotta say I'm not a fan of the adjustable sights. I wish trijicon still made sights for these models.

“…we have the molds, you can order now from the custom side using any pistol in the drop down and let me know in the comments you have the 5906. If you are part of the SW forums can you please let them know, thanks”
From Tony at JM Custom Kydex. I put in an order from the custom side, I selected the S&W 6906 gun option and in the comments put for a 5906. Hope to get it soon! Lots of holster options, I went with the R/C OWB.

Been carrying a glock 19 since i was 18. I dont really have a lot of money so its the best bang for my buck i figured id get. At 20. I found a 457 and bought it for 400. This is my first time really interacting with a third gen in any way. But thier rare and it had been at the lgs for a month so i snatched it up. Id like to carry this pistol a bit, im not sure where to find appendix holsters though. Also iwb holsters, for hiking and whanot. This is also my first 45, i know nothing of ammo, and its grains in reference to 45acp. What should i use for edc?
