Any 3rd Gen Semi Autos still in production?
I am curious as to whether or not Smith & Wesson still produces any of their 3rd Gen Semi Autos. I know may law enforcement agencies such as the West Virginia State Police still use the 4566TSW, but I am curious as to whether or not the gun is still produced.

One quick look on their website can answer this question. No.

I expect the tooling has been well preserved, but unless someone places a big order, we are not likely to ever see them returned to production.

There was a good number of new 3914DAOs released to the market last year. Nobody seems certain about exactly when those were produced but it might have been 2015 or so.

They may (reluctantly) make them for some LE agencies, but they are not cataloged for sale.
Note that CHP is turning in their 4006TSW guns for polymer framed guns.

2015...
I just purchased a NIB 3914DAO that was manufactured in 2015. I haven't heard of any production of 3rd GEN pistols since that run, which was for NYPD.
