Additional information

The TEC serial number prefix, to the best of our knowledge, dates manufacture of this 5903 to some time late in 1988, one of the first year of production 5903s before it was even officially produced. The reason for that is visible on the right side of the frame forward of the type one square trigger guard: Atlanta Police. This was a special order pistol for APD with no hammer spur, even though it is traditional double action with decocking lock-down ambidextrous safety. From a rest position, the first shot is a long double action pull, then all subsequent shots are single action with a short pull with the hammer standing cocked. One of its magazines is original issue, 1988 production pre-ban high capacity magazines with black follower and 14 round, instead of the later 15 round, capacity. Second magazine is choice of a NY & HI Legal Factory 10 Round Stainless, shown in the photo, or if the buyer elects, two 17 round brand new Mec-Gar Magazines. Weight empty is a light 28 ounces, more pleasant to carry than its steel frame sibling the 5906. This pistol has normal service carrying and holster wear. Its chief detraction is a moderate amount of scouring and buffing on the rear frame flange behind the hammer and on the right forward side of the trigger guard. Other wear is only moderate. We rate this pistol as Very Good, around 80 percent finishwise. Photos, however, should suffice for prospective owners to judge finish grade for themselves. This pistol is Excellent mechanically. Bushing contact buffing on the forward barrel surface is only moderate, and the bore, chamber, and mechanism are all bright, clean, and excellent. Note the 1980s period Satin Stainless hammer and trigger. Sights are period Novak 3 Dot, night sights with no luminosity. This pistol is not only eminently serviceable, it is also collectable since it is a very early, pre-catalogued variant of the 5903 in a very traditional configuration. From the markings on the shipping box, this one was assigned to Officer D.W. Dunlap. We are including a new factory Smith & Wesson blue case. We're offering it for only $ 389.95
