text: When I go to events or shoot a little competition I carry a S&W all stainlessmodel 5906 they were only made in the 90s and only made available to law enforcement or military. In 2000 they became available as police turn ins that were sold to the publicMost people now just don’t like them at all they say they are too heavy and the grips are to fat. Just because I carry one don’t mean you should. I am retired so I carry everyday period so when I am working in my shop or cutting wood or just piddling around I carry a Taurus 840c because I don’t care if it gets scratched up. Either of these I can draw and put into service without even thinking about it and yes the controls on both are different.
