Oh yeah it's cut into the metal. I just wanted all the black removed. Shame the S&W emblem is gone. I wish they would have it stamped and not etched.

Figure add this here instead of my thread on my 4006, but my CHP6554 was made Dec 2006 for those looking for manufacturer dates.
Did I miss the tally of the number of CHP4013's produced?

CHP Gunsmith, adrianolsen, answered this and some other pertinent questions in post #6 in this thread: http://smith-wessonforum.com/smith-wesson-semi-auto-pistols/615916-chp-3rd-gens.html#post140736342

Great Forum, great post, great members!Speaking of motors. I once was looking at some LE trade in Glocks in my LGS.
They had one that looked great on the left side.
When they handed it to me, I noticed the right side of the grip looked like a motor officer went down and slid on the pavement.
That was the only obvious wear to it. The rest of the gun looked new.
I bet the bike (Road King?) had some interesting rash, too.

Most of these guns look like they could benefit from a complete disassembly and ten minutes in an ultrasonic cleaner.
In disassembling the slide, since the CHP specified the special spring loaded decocker/safety body for the CHP4006TSW model so it would always be in fire mode, I would guess that the removal of the decocker/safety body may be a slightly different procedure to remove verses a normal 3rd gen decocker body?
Does anyone have any knowledge of any special instructions that may need to be followed for the CHP decocker removal?

I've taken down two 4006TSW slides (except for front sight
and extractor), and decocker disassembly is same as 3rd Gens
safeties--just keep an eye out for the additional detent &
spring that sits in slide (thanks, adrianolsen!).
On reassembly, the decocker return spring has a small leg
that extends into a locating hole in slide, to put the "return
tension" onto the return spring. Just rotate the decocker
body to point that spring leg into the slide hole as you
push decocker body into slide. Once the spring leg is
captured in the slide, rotate the decocker up to "fire"
position and continue pressing it into the slide. Easier
to do, than to describe.
One slide assembly was fairly clean under the rear sight.
The other had quite a bit of accumulated grunge; pic of
the firing pin safety plunger from that slide, below. You
won't know what's going on in your slide, if you don't
look.
BTW, the rear sights on both slides were EASY to drive off,
compared to other 3rd Gens. I was prepping one and gave
it a tap, holding the slide in one hand--and much to my
surprise, the rear sight moved. Ended up driving both
rear sights off, just holding slide in one hand and tapping
punch with dinky Lyman brass/plastic hammer.

Your welcome, FYI, my co workers and I spent 2 weeks at the factory advising/ designing the TSW. My idea was the decocker safety spring and plunger you see in the picture.My co workers call it the " Adrian plunger ". Kinda funny
That's awesome!
Did you have input/insight on the grooving along barrel
camming ramps--debris sumps??

If you own one, then I would love to see you do a video on the 4006TSW CHP on YouTube.

Well, unsure for the grooves. But they took out the cut outs on each side like the old 4006 to strengthen the chamber.
I saw in some earlier posts that a few retired CHiPs were in the thread. So I'm wondering if any of you might have known a Sgt. Wayne Mulholland, spent most of his time in LA and Fresno area.
He retired probably 20 years ago (so I doubt anyone would have known him) but he was my friend and he recently passed and I miss him, so I just thought I'd ask.
He never carried a 4006 as he began in wheel guns and stayed with them. But I just got a 4006TSW CHP in his memory.
I just began editing some of his stories...wow!
