Finally made up my mind and purchased a S&W 1006 from a co-worker....hope I'm as happy with it as I am my G20. Just couldn't pass it up....$500 for the gun in great shape and 7 S&W magazines......time to go throw some lead!!

500.00 for a 1006 and 7 mags?! Good deal!!;f

Not real sure of the 1006 now that I've gone out and shot it......think I would rather have a G20...not that anything is wrong with it.......just not a Glock......
Oh well life goes on.....

Congrats on the S&W 1006.

Don't second-guess yourself, as you can always get a G20 later. The 1006 is a fundamentally different 10mm than the G20.

Enjoy it for what it is: a pre-polymer era, all stainless-steel, easy-shooting, slim-packin' 10mm fun gun. :)

A 1006 is built like a stainless steel BRICK! And just about as likely to break. Good deal on a great pistol. It's the only other S&W I'd like to own. It would go well with my 610 6 1/2".
Besides, Glocks are still in production & can be had almost at will. The S&W can only appreciate in value. They already have a cult following among S&W collectors.

Give it a chance; they grow on you.
Specially with Hogues.

I currently have 7 different 10mm's including both the Glock 10mm's and the S&W 1006 and 1076 FBI and they are different beasts. My Glocks are used for work (the 20 for home defense and the 29 for CCW) but the S&W's have a nice DA/SA feel and if Glocks didn't exist I'd likely carry the 1076 for CCW.
What the other guys have said is true, (about the Glock still being available and the S&W gaining value, etc) but you got a good deal so if you absolutely have to have a Glock, you shouldn't have to come up with little (if any) cash to make it happen if you're patient...

For the encouragement gang!! Its a real pleasure to be able to post on here and get a good feel of what everyones thoughts are on different weapons. As far as the S&W 1006 goes.....it's a great shooter and it is feeling really good....but guess it's one of those that if I ever got rid of a firearm it would probably be that one...guess it's just a deep dark craving I have for the Glocks.
Thanks again gang!!!;I
