Name that 3rd gen?
Howdy,
Was going threw some old photos before I was ever in love with S&W 3rds and came across this Gem, can't remember where I got it or screen shot it from.
What 3rd generation variant is this 5906? 4006? Muzzle looks shorter than usual?
Poor cover if you ask me

I'm not sure, the photo is difficult to make out any identifying marks. I see Lt. Porkins found a job in law enforcement after the Death Star run.

Yeah, too hard to tell. If ya wanna play the numbers game, it is most likely a 5906. Looks like a Novak rear sight.

Not sure about the gun model but it certainly is an excellent example of...
“I’ve got your back.”

I can't tell if that's an example of cover or concealment. Maybe both.

It’s a disgrace they even make uniforms in that size.

By the trigger guard a late 3rd Gen probably a 5906. Obviously the smaller officer was not wearing body armor.

It's definitely a late production 3rd gen pistol, most like a 5906 as they were the hot item for law enforcement when that photo was taken.
Good use of cover by the backing officer, I suppose.

Speaking as a larger retired Police Office. We larger officers must stay and fight because we cannot run and we provide good cover for other officers. Prisoners stay in one place if we sit on them until they are cuffed. Its how much Heart you have in you not your body size

Well if the person shooting at them is using FBI approved 12"-18" penetration standard ammo, the little guy should be perfectly safe.

Unless the bad guy is armed with a 10mm and shooting a 'Sonny Crockett' load, i.e., 200gns @ 1200+ fps. ...
Then that little guy ain't 'safe' at all.

If those are supposed to be police officers, I would prefer to run from the one on the right.

I have a Beartooth hard cast 200 grain with gas check that I load for my Para-Ordnance P16-10 at 1225 FPS. My backup any time I am in the deer woods. It so far has punched through everything I have shot at.

One thing the full figured officers have going for them is they can fit so much cool gear on their Sam Brown.

It is all perspective...the barrel on the S&W only appears short due to it being framed in profile by the king sized man in blue in the background.
Excellent use of available cover by the officer holding the pistol in question.
