It could be , I will have to put my magnifying glass on it. Thanks for the reply!!!Denny
If it's a 5906, a year ago they were selling for around $300 to $350 for police trade-ins. Depending on condition, I now see them going for $450 to $500 plus. Had one 10 years ago and will say it was a well made, dependable shooter. Another one I should have kept. :crazy:

They were part of S&Ws semi auto offering before the M&Ps. People liked them for the tank like build. My brother in law has one. Shoots everything it's fed. The trigger on his gun was not that great and as a result we shot if poorly in terms of accuracy. Clean it and shoot it.

Yes its a 5906, found my glasses lol, yea its built like a tank, run out of bullets an it would make a great club!!!Probably keep it???Who Knows? Its never had a round through it in the box!!!, thanks for the input, Denny
It it's Brand new in the box it could fetch a pretty good price. Good shooters. If yours has never been shot it is probably pretty dry. Oil up the internals, and grease the rails and barrel if you are going to shoot it. They have better reset than the Sig SRT.

What do you mean by reset?? New to this pistol stuff, I mostly hunt, Thanks , Denny
In single action, the amount of
Movement the trigger has to be released to reset the sear. It is often accompanied by
An audible click.
Confirm pistol and magazine are unloaded.
Insert a magazine. (3rd gens have magazine disconnect safeties) pull trigger, and hold rearward. Recock hammer and slowly release trigger until it clicks. That is your reset point.
Not all semiautos will reset with just recocking the hammer. You usually have to manipulate the slide, but s&w 3rd gens will reset from the hammer.
