My brother thought the gun was new when he held and looked it over. The 5906 I received looked brand new, no detectable holster wear at all with only one very small scratch on the slide near the muzzle end. It looks like a $1500 gun it's so pristine and new looking. For being a used firearm you would never know it. Due to it being so damn dirty and minor cosmetic issues, it’s closer to “good”. I gave 4 stars because mine wasn’t in “very good” condition. Overall, you can’t beat these pistols for the money, considering they ran 500 or so brand new back in the day. However, good replacement mags are easy to find for about 20-25 bucks. I had to disassemble it and clean everything well. The last thing is the mag which is more beat up than anything. The DA is long and fairly heavy but smooth. The SA trigger take up and break is one of the best I’ve tried. However, the rifling is still fairly pronounced. The barrel is in great shape but shows bore wear. The internals look good with no excessive wear and function properly. I keep in mind this piece is possibly 20-30 years old and saw quite a bit of use and is in damn good shape considering. The slide and frame has scuffs and minor scratches but no gouges or dings. The condition of the grips are iffy but can be readily replaced cheaply. I recommend removing the grip to clean under them as well. It took me about an hour to clean it well. The biggest issue I noticed off the bat is how dirty it was. Ordered Tuesday night, it shipped Wednesday and had it by Friday.

Even the guy at my FFL dealer was like "I don't know how to grade something like that, that's what you get ordering online and taking a chance on it being great."įirst off, shipping is the quickest I’ve seen. I feel like there rating is overstated a little. I'm fine with it as a shooter but someone looking for a "VERY good" condition model should probably look elsewhere. Not sure I would have bought this having seen the actual unit. I was expecting the finish to be a way nicer. I think your mileage might very with these. The trigger feels nice, the decocker seems to work correctly, slide is smooth. The magazine looked like new, inside was even pretty clean. Having said all that about the dirty, tarnished outside the inside looks to not have much wear. The gun overall was FILTHY on the outside! I had to scrape all the crud out of the rear sight, and along the grips. There was a line of gunk, black sludgy crap that you could scrap off with a fingernail. The grips were beat up and the right side very worn off on the bottom (rubbed on a seat belt or?). See individual spec sheets for model specific features.The gun I received is really tarnished.
