Parts prepping for the Smith 3 rd gen

[MCQUADE]

Due to our current national issues, I've been building a small supply of parts for certain defensive items but I was wondering what parts for the gen 3 10mm's are more prone to failure. I've had them off and on since 1990 and never had a problem, but maybe I'm lucky. Any suggestions? (Shadow, I'm expecting you to chime in)

Well I've gathered a few things but none have been needed yet either.  Extra barrels, conversion barrels 40S&W & 9x25Dillon (use then often), assortment recoil springs, trigger play springs(these are known to crack), magazines, springs and followers, base pads, grips, extra slide stop and had it made as an extended by BM1 over at S&W forum (this one was tough to get)  Complete slide & barrel for the 1006, found at a good price.  So will I ever need them, hope not, but having 7 of them, if I do I'm ahead of the curve.

I may try to buy some extra main springs or assortment of various springs.

Thanks Shadow, I also have a 1026 and 1076 and see that Numrich sells the "decocker assembly", I need to check that out and how about the extractor? Also, I wish Barsto would fire the machines back up for us, our guns are nearly a quarter century old and may need a little refreshing.

I think an extractor is a good part to have as well, having the complete slide gives me many extras inside just in case.

Bar-Sto could very easily do a run of barrels as they have the program for the CNC machines from previous runs.

I am still waiting on BM1 to complete the 4 various conversion barrels I have on order, he needs to be able to get some time on the CNC machines to let the chips fly to wrap up what he started.
