Did the 4006 LE models all omit that feature?It seems to be a common trait with law enforcement marked 4006 thats the trigger guards are all smooth, whereas public sale models all have checkered trigger guards common to the 3rd Gen lineup.

"Im sorry Mr Silversmok3, but our FFL license expired as of May third.I can send a copy as soon as we have a renewed one on file to send......" Four days. Four days of waiting gone up in smoke. Time for me to get assertive. (sound of dial tone) "FFL that's holding your purty S&W ...

Those were the words that greeted me this morning at the towns annual gun show. As I fondled one abused 5906,the desk jockey tells me that it's a police trade in which was never sold to civilians in the 90's. "Really?" Was my response. He then went on about how the only way you can get them...

I now call your attention to the Model 539 pictured in my avatar . Here's the account of my first hour with the gun.After processing the formalities necessary to receive the weapon, I took it apart at home to observe a distressing thing. The frame, barrel and slide were in proper...

I was watching this episode of A&E's "The First 48", and thought a weapon seized by the Dallas PD in the episode looked familiar. Sure enough,a later close up confirms its a fixed sight S&W Model 639. It was sadly employed to deadly effect against a man who didn't deserve what happened to him...

From his book "Sixguns": "The best auto pistol in the 9mm caliber we have seen to date for combat use is the new Smith and Wesson. It is made for both single action and double action....with the double action model the first shot canbe fired with a pull of the trigger the same as the Walther...

I ran some +P rounds through my nickel 539 last week, and what strikes me as funny was the anticlimactic outcome. I held on for dear life , waiting for the extreme muzzle flip and recoil inherent to +P rounds which never happened. Curious how my S&W defied the laws of physics,I poked around...

Firearms and Personal Defense | Jeff Cooper - YouTube Some helpful and honest words from a voice sorely missed by the shooting community.

Smith & Wesson Model 39: Classic Semi-Auto Pistol (HD) - YouTube One of the more popular YouTube tactical gun channels has posted a video on the Model 39. Better get yours soon, as it seems Tactical Joe Public and his Glock fanboi's are about to ruin the secret. The days of $400 steals are...

I've shot many cool double stack pistols. I even own a 5904 that's hiding in the safe as I type this. Yet, I've got a metal, nickel finished 539 on my hip. I turn 26 next month, yet I just can't get behind polymer frame pistols. Perhaps this is straying into philosophical territory, but it...

Reservoir Dogs: S&W 659 & 639 used by main characters. Pulp Fiction: Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames)carries a 4506 Jackie Brown: ATF agent carries a 5906 and the 5946 is name dropped by Samuel L Jackson in the opening dialogue. Seems like the mans got a specific fixation on S&W semi autos, not...

On a whim I popped in a classic DVD tonight: The Siege , starring Denzel Washington. As a kid I remember watching it and thinking " holy ****, thank God that can't happen here." Today I'm a vet watching it again, and its not as shocking to me. In point of fact the idea of the US Army marching...

150 rounds. 0 failures. 1982 vintage according to S&W. First target's distance Close up of the same target. I was about to leave the line when I found 1 more 9mm round in the box. This is where I put it at 21 feet, offhand. An excellent way to end this range trip if I say so myself...

My 5904 has developed an unpleasant habit which requires you guys' expert advice to correct. It's equipped with the factory "rabbit ear" adjustable rear sights, and the notch seems to have lost its ability to "stay put". I can shift the rear sight blade one "click" to the right with finger...

My thought is thus: we on this site should take a moment to post a picture with a serial # prefix to discern what pattern S&W has with their pistols. I came up with this idea because I noticed my 5903 with a TES prefix has a lot in common with the other poster's topic on his 5906 ,which has...

..or a substantially "futurized" version of one in the Youtube trailer, in any instance. At first I thought a Colin Farrel remake of Total Recall was a disaster waiting to happen, but it looks good enough on the trailer.

As background,I've been dry firing my 5904 daily.I'm at the point where I can place a 9mm casing on the front sight and dry fire in Double Action 6-10 times without it falling off. I hit the range and found that every DA shot I took went right 4" of center.Slow and consistent stroking of the...

Once upon a time I bought a 5906 which looked to be in great shape , and didn't even look to be fired much. Took it to the range and found out why-bum extractor. By comparison I recently picked up a 5904 with serious finish wear, to the point that the bluing is starting to flake off the frame...

I realized last month that owning multiple guns becomes a logistical pain in the rear after a certain point. More pistols you own, the more you have to field strip, the more guns you have to clean, the more you have to decide what to carry and what sits in the dusty corner of the safe, the more...
