S&W 1006?

[1911WB]

I've got a chance to buy an S&W 1006 at a real good price- any thoughts or opinions from those who have/had one?

Just bought one, I love it. Now I'm waiting for my DoubleTap ammo to feel what *real* 10mm is like.

Mind if I ask what the "good price" is?

If it's a real good price (<$500) then buy it. Check out www.10mmtalk.com.

I have one. Purchased for $400 in 04. Its a tank and is built to last. Will shoot anything you feed it. I overdid it with 200gr reloads and it shot them fine. Cases split and stretched but the pistol handled them with no problems.

I carry it in a Bianchi Accumold holster when out in the bush. Spare mags are pretty easy to find as well. I got 3 for $20 each at a local gunshop. Used of course but in great shape.

Good info on 1006

Thanks, guys, for the good info on the 1006. Sounds like something I'm going to have to seriously consider for $400 with 4 mags! Would also have to start loading a new caliber, but that's always fun.

For that price, as long as the gun's in decent condition, I'd say jump on it. Not like they're making any more of them. I paid $450 with 3 mags and two sets of recoil springs.

Yep, thats a pretty good price for the pistol. I use a 22lb recoil spring instead of the factory 20lb one due to reloading. So many powders work great with the 10MM its unbelievable.
