Smith 1006

I'd been thinking about a Kimber but then this turned up. Now I have to decide whether to shoot it or it becomes a safe queen..........didn't take long, it'll be a shooter. ${$default_grin_smiley}$ If anyone is interested the seller will probably post a couple more at some point.

Looks nice. Anxious to see how it shoots.

So you bought that one? I always follow the auctions but think they cost more than they should versus new 10's.

Not much new chatter out there so the pool may be locked.

EdMc · August 07 2012 12:46:07 PM MDT

Yeah, they are high but most of the crappy ones I've watched went for well over 600. Although fixed sights it was NIB with two mags and the seller didn't overcharge for shipping or add on for credit cards. Should have it tomorrow.

EdMc, congratulations! You will be a happy camper with that fine specimen... ${$default_grin_smiley}$

Very nice and Congrats!

$700. Anything right there and I would pop for one but I'm holding hope something new will hit the market. The new line of Tanfoglios that may be open now might fit the bill!

Congrats! Hope it's does everything you ask it too, and maybe you'll have a Kimber at some point too.

Shadow:

Since you're the resident S&W 10XX expert, ${$default_grin_smiley}$ any problems with the yellow followers in the mags? Seems like I read they changed to a white follower at some point. This one is a TFB prefix if that means anything.

Aegis · August 08 2012 02:54:56 PM MDT

The white followers did replace the yellow. I have approx 40 magazines and have not had any trouble with either color.

EdMc · August 08 2012 08:16:16 PM MDT

Thanks. 40 mags? Think that's enough? Just kidding.....if you want to sell a couple let me know.

sqlbullet · August 09 2012 07:55:42 AM MDT

I have 50 mags for my CETME. Allows me to keep 1000 rounds kitted up.

Got them during a cheaper than dirt blow-out for .97 each.

EdMc · August 09 2012 08:11:15 AM MDT

I'm such a piker, only have three for my M1A and 5 for the AK. ${$default_embarrassed_smiley}$

No problems from any of the S&W magazines with either yellow or white followers, using 10mm, 40S&W, 9x25Dillon waiting on my other barrels to be finished to test 357Sig also...

Thanks Shadow.

Btw: Field stripped the Smith and put some oil on it yesterday. Went to the range today and fired 50 rds of the Atlanta Arms ammo they sell.......no problems with either mag nor with the pistol. Pull trigger, bang....repeat. I was quite pleased with the 1006. ${$default_cheesy_smiley}$

Glad all went well on its first trip out, I love it when a plan comes together.
