Description:
The TES 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. Both its magazines are original issue, 1988 production pre-ban high capacity magazines with black follower and 14 round, instead of the later 15 round, capacity. 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 detractions only amount to moderate holster and carry wear, principally buffing on its sharp edges and in spots on the forward area of the slide. We rate it as a strong Very Good, perhaps even Excellent specimen since 85 to 90 percent of the original finish is intact by our estimate. 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. We are including a new factory Smith & Wesson blue case. We're offering it for only $ 389.95

Don't let your buddies use your account. Registered user must be the buyer, with his or her own money. Buying firearms and related items for other people can result in felony charges. Don't try, either, to circumvent any law; for example, a California civilian may not buy a high capacity magazine and have it shipped to his brother-in-law in Nevada. That is a felony.
GA Pay buyers are NOT charged until we confirm we have the item and are ready to ship it. The same thing is true for phone-in, fax-in, and mail-in payments. In this respect, and in several others, Guns America outshines all its competitors. This is the best firearms website there is, hands down.
