S&W Compacts

[Atlanta_SW40]

Hi all,

I've been in the market for a S&W compact but every time I begin searching I feel like I see a new model # for one and just become more confused.

I'm just looking to see if I can get model #'s and information on all the 9mm and 40mm compacts S&W has made. I'm excluding polymer frame guns.

Here's what I got so far:

9MM:

3914, 3913, 669, 6909, 908, CS9....

40cal:

4013,4053, CS40.....

Please let me know the ones I'm missing. Thanks.

wasn't there a CS45 and a 4566?

 

[Atlanta_SW40]

there are a couple of .45 compacts...the cs45 & 457 are a few I know of. But I'm not interested in the 45's...

The 4566 is a full size gun as far as I know.

Compacts

I think it was a 6906, not -09, and don't forget the 469, and 6904 in the alloy frame.
The 4566 is a midsize with the 4" barrel, but there is the 4513series with the 3.5 " barrel.

9MM:

3914, 3913, 669, 6909, 908, CS9....

+ 469, CS9D, 3953, 3954, 6906, 6904, 6946, 6944, 6926, 6924


40S&W:

4013,4053, CS40.....

+ 4014, 4054, Shorty 40

9MM:

3914, 3913, 669, 6909, 908, CS9....

+ 469, CS9D, 3953, 3954, 6906, 6904, 6946, 6944, 6926, 6924


40S&W:

4013,4053, CS40.....

+ 4014, 4054, Shorty 40

So on the 9mm's, what's the differences in the the models? At first glance the 39** and 69** models all appear the same....aside from the LS's and blued versions.

I believe there is also a 4516.

[Atlanta_SW40]

so the CS**D's are an economy version of the CS?

 

[mlk18]

Nope, they are a (more rare) DAO version of the Chief Specials. Also the Chiefs Specials come in both stainless or blue, but share the same model number either way.

The 908 is the value version of 3914.

I believe that ALL of the compact 9mm and .40 3rd Gen S&W's are alloy framed.

4566

the model 4566 s&w IS a compact..chet

 

[FirebirdV8]

For the 40 cal don't forget about the 4040PD, they can be hard to find, but are great little guns.

Good call FirebirdV8, I can't believe I missed the 4040PD!

 

[snw19_357]

4536 - SS framed compact with frame mounted decocker lever

M&P compact. Hold one in your grip and it almost sells itself.
