Should I?

[EdMc]

Thanks, I'll check Brownells.

[Intercooler]

Ordered one from Midway for $33 but it's backordered until 9/2.

[EdMc]

Backordered? Guess that means no sale anytime soon.

[Intercooler]

Ordered two 22lb Wolff springs too. That should make it good to go for the hot stuff after the break-in.

[EdMc]

Duh.....I should have thought about that when I ordered another Chrono yesterday. Nachez was also BO'd on the mags.

[Intercooler]

FFL called and I go to sign the paperwork tomorrow. Then the wait starts!

I will take some pictures while there tomorrow... I know same as any 1006 but this one is unique because she's mine

Exactly.

[Intercooler]

No pictures. Too packed so I will when I pick it up. I didn't know it had two mags in the box but what grip for it because the stocker is pretty hard!

[EdMc]

I think Hogue is about all that's available without getting into custom makers wares.

The stock derlin is hard but the texture works in you hand or with a glove.  The Houge rubber or wood give a larger filling feel with the rubber being better to absorb recoil.  Just be careful removing the grip panels, and putting them back on don't force it.

You can get the sleeves with finger grip molded in which are nice too with out addin too much bulk!

I will give it a whirl with the stocker and see. Man the 22lb Wolff springs look long as crap!

Just holding it today I don't know if the grip will ever be as nice as the Witness or even Dan Wesson.

Does the 1006 take normal Novak cut sights? I wonder if TruGlo TFO's would fit it? I'm hoping I can grow into the grip but don't know if it will ever feel like the Witness guns.

[EdMc]

I have no idea on the type sight cut on the rear slide on the Smith. These are available if it tells you anything of the cut:

Novak site mentions milling required:

I mentioned in another thread that I found the grips to be somewhat 'thin'. After shooting it few more times I haven't noticed it as much. Never shot a Witness but I'd think it would be close to my CZ-75B in feel.......double stack is always going to be thicker. The Smith is even thinner than a 1911. Smith made some palm swell grips, IF you can find a set now. Since I have quite a few different pistols I try not to get to wrapped up in the differences of the sights, grips and triggers. Much easier, and cheaper, for me to adapt to the differences.

I pick up the 1006 next Tuesday. Picked up a $10 gun case (I can't believe they put them in cardboard), Armscor ammo and a Hogue grip. I like that the case and grip are made in the USA and although some of the Armscor doesn't stay here it's made in Montana. I like this case better than the Made In China!

Got it one day early! The unboxing
