Tshensley Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Looking for opinions on either one. I tried the 6906 and liked the weight of it but would've preferred a longer handle. I have not been able to find a 5906 to try locally. Does anyone have one currently and or know someone interested in parting with one? Seems the 5906 is going for cheaper, as more people like the light weight of the 6906. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stangsn95gt Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 What are they going for nowadays I bought one awhile ago and when I had it I put a few thousand rds through it without a hiccup. I almost bought a boat load of model 910s a few years ago that had a bunch of holster wear and they were going for $259, I really wish I wouldn't of passed that up.

Scotty2Hotty Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 I've had a few 5906's. A good solid handgun with plenty of out of the box accuracy. Plus, you could pistol whip the shit out of someone with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've found 400-500 for 5906 450-550 for 6906 Although another model that looks to split the difference is the 5903, which is a stainless slide with alloy full size frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil8 Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 I have both, what do you really want to know? Other than size, the 5906 has about a half inch in barrel and grip over the 6906 and a 2 round capacity advantage, there isn't much difference. Some have a dislike for the decocker.

Overall weight comparison, does the 5906 feel that much heavier? Overall opinion on purchasing one of these as a self defense, and range shooter?

evil8 Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 The 59 is heavier because it is larger, for carry I would go with the 69. They are pretty damn reliable and are fairly accurate. I prefer them over the newer plastic guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
