Good afternoon folks! It's another day where I woke up above ground ( breaking my previous record of 57 years 347 days old)
On January 2, I had prostate cancer surgery and I'm getting noticeably better every day.
The pathology reports said "Surgical margins clear". Lymph nodes are clear. Pending tests in two months, my surgeon said he's 99% certain I'm cancer free and will remain so for life.

Now I'll get on topic and talk about guns.
A few years ago I bought a S&W 1006 with 5 magazines for a good price.
It's a fixed sight model w/ the Novak dovetail cut.
I'm looking for an after market rear adjustable sight. I find a couple of them listed but never any in stock.
Like this, but for the 10mm-45 3rd Gen pistols.

I've searched Novak, Brownells, TPU, and S&W 1006 sights.
Anyone have a lead on an adjustable rear sight for the 1006?
When I bought the 1006, it came with Hogue rubber grips. Well, the 1006 has a pretty wide grip frame front to back. For my short meaty hands, it's been a challenge to get comfortable with it squirming around in my hands due to poor grip form.
I got serious tracking down a set of factory "Nylon" one piece grips. I'd have preferred the flat back strap but it has the arched mainspring housing profile. Akin to the 1911/arched mainspring feel. I really like these New Old Stock grips. These are much slimmer than the Hogue's, making it possible for me to get a consistant hold with good form.
Did I say I love these ? I ran 100 rounds through the 1006 with the new grips and I think it's a keeper.
I have three molds a 165gr TC, 180gr. RNFP, and a 200gr. TC.
Waiting on a .401" die for my lubrisizer, and we'll see what they can do. I like the profile of the 180 RNFP, let's hope is shoots well in this gun.

I had 3 protate biopsies (two 12 needle and one 18 needle) over 5 years before they decided I just have a naturally high psa. My condolences on the surgery part, but glad it's over and your margins are CLEAR! I still think the placement and lack of a better access hatch on that troublesome little part was a practical joke on the part of the human body design team.

Some days the air just smells sweeter. I am very happy for you and wishing you continue to break your personal record.

Cheers!

Happy for you.

That's the sight I need alright.
Funny how none of my searches showed that sight in stock. Different search engines?
I'll get that ordered and we'll see how this package shapes up.
I had Simply Rugged Rob make a Cuda with thumb break in oxblood. Even though the 1006 is no lightweight, it carries nice on the belt.
Thanks Mark

You're 100% correct from my view, this is a very inconvenient location and new task to do, relearning how to do something I've done for almost all my 57 years.

Yes, yes it does.

Telling myself that it's gonna be a good day when I get up in the morning has dramatically improved my life.
There's only so many hours in a day, a month, a year. Why waste them on negative and non productive ways?

Mine 5906 owns something similar from Rob and Rick.

Glad to read that you are still processing oxygen. Take it easy, armed.

Very glad to hear recovery is still going so well! Hopefully you will keep breaking records for a very long time to come.
