9mm Fun Gun (Smith 5906)

[99zhuggerz99]

I'm looking to get a pistol strictly for the range, and just to have fun with.
i want a 9mm (for the price of ammo) and prefer all metal for recoil so i can shoot more and have the wife (not to keen on recoil) shot more too.
i have looked at CZ but feel like I am drawn to the S&W 5906. stainless for lack of rusting, all metal, and built like a tank. but I can't decide. i want to keep this decently cheap, since it will be more of a fun gun, than a defense/target gun (read weight, looks, capacity...)

whatould you all recommend? how much should i look to spend? does anyone have one or seen any good deals? seams to be police trade ins out there (but where) and the pricing seems to be all over he place.

My brother has one that he's had for years and he rarely shoots. It was a police trade in and is laser engraved with the Tennessee state seal. He has talked about selling it since I convinced him to buy an XD. I can ask him about it if you are interested.

a berreta 92 would be a good choice

Century International Arms has used 5906s for as little as $299.87.

CDNN has the Turkish 92 beretta copies for $300.

Just as good as the real thing for half the price.

My SMITH & WESSON 5906 was accurate & didn't jam

I second this motion.

I picked up a very lightly used 92FS with 3 mags at Bradis last week for $460. Feel pretty good about that purchase.

I bought the Taurus PT92 so I could have a cocked and locked competition pistol like my carry 1911. But I really do want one of those Smiths especially being a Tarantino fan...

I just picked up my 5906 that I bought from CDNN. So far I'm very happy with it. $318 shipped..I couldn't pass it up. It is in desperate need of a detail strip and cleaning, this thing is filthy.
