Some pictures of my(BRILEY Modified)S&W Model 5906!

Here are some pictures of my new toy! A BRILEY Modified(First year, 1989)S&W Model 5906. The modifications include a stainless, Briley barrel and spherical barrel bushing. Let me have your opinion's-as this is my FIRST autoloader-EVER?:

Slick 6: Nice lookin 9; especially dressed up with the Hogues. Briley is famous for making very accurate weapons, will be waiting for a range report with fotos. By the way nice composition and resolution on these photos.

Wow! I wish I had done that well for my first autoloader. That's a very pretty gun you've got there.

Now all we need is a good extensive range report.

For a S&W pistol, that is quite gorgeous

Nice gun for a first autoloader. Ditto for the range report, I'm interested.

Awesome pistol, I own a Performance Center 945 and 952-2 that use the Briley setup and they are both insanely accurate.

Be sure to lube the bushing well and take your time when inserting the barrel back in the slide after cleaning, it can be a real PITA.

VERY nice! Definitely a sweet entry into the "my first autoloader" club.

What sort of sights do you have on that?

1)Other than being adjustable, I'm not sure what type of sights are on my 5906-but, I believe that the(Front)for sure, is another custom touch by Briley(Maybe, the rear also?). I sure like them though!

2)It's possible, that the flat top slide, might have also been a custom piece from Briley?

Smith autos are very underrated....a 3913 is about the perfect CCW auto.

 

[Pietro Beretta]

Nice.

I am pretty sure those are factory adjustable sights.

Did he ever post a range report?

I'm wondering if anyone else has some pictures of their 5906?
I just picked up one from a place in Arizone that stocks Police trade-ins.
Paid $279.95. I cannot believe how good of shape this handgun is in. Practically brand new. I am so please with what I received. That was my first "Used handgun" purchase and I cannot wait for the waiting period to end so I can go pick it up.

Also, I'm considering getting it polished out for a Brushed Chrome / Matte Chrome finish.
Like this CZ-75 ::http://www.fordsguns.com/index-gun37.htm

Anyone know of anyone with a SW5906 that is Brushed or Matte Chrome
please let me know. I'd love to see some pics of it and how it turned out.

Happy Shooting to all,
Mike

That is incredibly sweet.

I've always been a fan of S&W autos. That one looks like it would be a real nice shooter.

I am pretty sure those are factory adjustable sights.

Agreed.

Momoshooter - did you get your 5906 from J&G Sales, or a different outfit? I ask because I've been on the lookout for a 5906 in Very Good to Excellent condition, and $279.95 is better than I had seen @ J&G back in October '07.

The S&W 'metal' autos are IMO amongst the best out there. Highly underrated. Every one I owned had a great trigger and built like a tank. Not sure whey they aren't more popular. If it were mine, I'd lose the smooth wood grips. They look nice, but I prefer the old "straight backstrap" plastic factory grips. Good shooting.
