Dreaming of a s&w 5946

[Archibald]

Here's a target of what the 5946 is capable of when I did my part:
course of fire. Score: 250(40x)
I had to take a photo because I was likely to never repeat it!

That being said, the DAO trigger is very likely to cause a slight flinch on quick follow up shots, which has been the frustration of many who have shot this pistol. It could cause a flier out of the scoring ring, or just missing an "x" if that's what one aspires to.

If time is not an issue, I would take a double action in a long range accuracy shoot as I find it to be very predictable in when the trigger breaks.

Most folks would believe that hardcore look on the faces of our beloved mounties is one of grit, determination, and a constant state of alert readiness. Nope, it's the torment of carrying that beast of pistol along with two extra double-stacked mags, and the constant ache of an index finger that's been crippled by a 12.5 lb DAO trigger.

That said, I have fond memories of being at the range with my dad putting rounds in the 8 ring with this pistol. I wouldn't buy one for anything other than nostalgia though.

someone stated in another thread the RCMP is transitioning to the MP 40???

The 12 pound DAO trigger on a 5946 would be preferable to that joke of a trigger on a M&P!!

One of the first guns I bought when I moved to America. What an awful hunk of heavy uncomfortable ####.

Meh. I would rather have one M&P than a thousand third gen smiths.

If you want a nice SA/DA gun get a P226. 10X the gun at about the same price.

I cannot imagine the High River High Horses ever releasing their guns for public sale to mere civilians.

Public agency firearms in Canada can not be re-sold for private use.

The 5946 usually works quite well. The shooter not so often.

It looks like ####e too...

Nice shooting.
