As far as taking care of it, I'm sure you take care of them (I'd hope so), but stainless is just that much easier to take care of. I've always been more worried about my blued/parked guns, but the 5906 was always at the back of the list, cause it didn't care.

All the same, I'd go under 500. There's one on GB right now which would be about 450 after fees, in the same condition, minus the box, but I don't need that. If you can shop around and find a 459, it'll be about half the price too, maybe 3-350 and will give you the same good service, and may even have the ambi decocker. I think it's a cool gun too, but you don't want to get struck by the gun love bug and then regret the decision (you overpaid a bit for that 4506 and I'd be a dick not to advise you on this next purchase).

I just looked on their site and they have a 5906 on there too, with the adjustable sights and the squared trigger guard, for 10 bucks less. As an everyday shooting gun, that will fair better. If you decide against that, I might go for it myself.

5906

Too bad I don't know anybody who has an FFL.

I have problems with the squared trigger guard on S&W pistols, mainly because they are smaller than round trigger guards, which are uncomfortable

I'm getting tired of stainless guns anyways. I don't even own a non stainless pistol now that I have given my P22 to my brother and my uncle has my High Standard (It's pretty much his, all he has to do now is give me my $500)

I don't recall too clearly, but the trigger guards size looks about the same to me, and if there is a difference, it's the smallest margin imaginable.

All the same I'd shop around a bit more before putting that kind of money into a Smith auto.

I'm going to be looking around at gun shows. I might look for something with a little bit more mag capacity, but I probably won't find anything (S&W autos are rare in these parts)

14-15 is the 59 series maximum mag capacity with factory mags, but that's always seemed like plenty to me (The Browning is 13, so I'm short a couple, but that;s what skill and reloading is for!).

I actually walked into a pawn shop the other day to look at rifles and as I left I eyed the pistol counter and saw some Glocks, SIGs, a Desert Eagle and a buncha other stuff, but my eyes were drawn to the 459 more than anything else. Great little autos.

It can hold 14-15 rounds? I can only find 10 rnd mags for it. I should have popped the mag out and looked at the capacity when I handled it

[Yournamehere]

Yeah 10 rounds is the capacity... if you have a neutered magazine. Very few if any full size autos hold 10 rounds in their standard, non-neutered magazine.

14 is what the 1st, 2nd and early 3rd gen mags could hold, and then the later 3rd gens allowed 15. All my 5906 mags held 15 rounds. With a Smith, you're not undergunned at all when it comes to capacity, they are the equivalent of any other wondernine.
