We initially acquired this pair of pistols about six months after we got our S&W 686 .357 Magnum revolvers. We wanted to expand our arsenal with a pair of semi-automatic 9mm S&W 908 pistols. I got mine first ( a 908s – silver finish) and then about a month later got the 908 (black finish). Just this weekend, I replaced the old springs and spring guides in both pistols and then shot this picture.
