Hello,

I'm new to posting, so excuse any etiquette errors. Recently purchased a used Smith & Wesson Model 6906 9mm Pistol. From everything I've read, it should operate as a Traditional Double Action Pistol with the first shot, if not cocked with the slide, being Double Action and subsequent shots being Single Action. My Pistol however, operates as Double Action Only, in that the trigger cocks and fires the pistol for each shot. It is definately not the 6946 DAO Model as it clearly shows the Model as 6906 and it does have the external lever safety. Is it possible the gun was altered to be DAO or was there a version of the 6906 that was DAO? Finally, might there be a way to have it changed back to operating as DA/SA by a gunsmith?
