1006 or P220 10mm?

Thanks for the feedback. I spoke with Smith and Wesson's support, and they're continuing to service the 1006's. They said they service guns as old as those made in the 1960's. At this point I think I'll keep the 1006 and save for the P220. 6 months to a year from now when I have both, I'll be glad I was a little patient.

Thanks for the update.

Smith's 3rd Gens are excellent service pistols. I have the 1006, 1076, and 4566. All are great shooters. Arguably, the 4.25" 1076 and 4566 pack and conceal a bit easier than their 5" counterparts.

I have a 1006, 1086 and a "Frankengun" made from a 1076 frame with a 1066 top end. It's fair to say I see the appeal of the 10xx series. I also own a regular and DAK version of the P220 in 45acp

So my obvious advice is to buy both.

That usually is the best move

Good thinking; I'm sure you'll be glad that you waited. You'll always be able to pick up a SIG 220; not so much a Smith 1006.

Holding on to it, and saving for the Sig is the best of all possible answers.

I would think if you can swing it though, sending it back to the S&W Custom Shop and having an action job done would not be a poor choice either.
While they're in there they'll replace any parts with heavy wear and make it as fresh as it gets.

An action job from S&W only adds value, maybe not quite as much as you spent on it, but it's much much much easier to sell than one worked on by the local Bubba.
