Coulda, shoulda, woulda - or just interesting

What other 3rd Gen Smiths might we have seen if they had had the sense to keep the line going and growing?

CS69? A 6906 chopped down to CS9 dimensions.

3946? Single stack DAO. For those of us with freakish hands.

What else can you think of?

A 4503. Aluminum framed full size 45 with a 5 inch tube. They actually made 3 or 4. IIRC they are in private hands today.

There were a lot of agencies who liked the 4506-1. And continued to order it through 2006 or so. The 4503s were made to test the feasibility of a full sized aluminum framed 4506-1 for LE use. Regards 18DAI

6906TSW, would look so cool with a rail also a 6904TSW.

They made your secound one look up the 3956.

[Mike, SC Hunter]

They were dropped because they weren't making $$$$$$ for S&W. That's the bottom line.

[Jeppo]

3813 and 3814? Think 3913/3914 EZ 380.

[GaryS]

3953/54. Including the TSW versions of the 3953TSW.

A frame mounted decocker single stack 9mm would have been nice.

From the Performance Center...

*PC Shorty10
*1066 & 1063 CQB
*PC1006 in 5 and 6 inch variants
*A single stack Shorty 9 as in a PC version of the 3913/14
*Although I have the one... PC4506 in 5 and 6 inch variants with a three recoil spring set, one for midrange target wadcutters, one for standard loads and one for 45 super

And I second 18DAI's 4503 plan

Mounting adaptation for an RMR on duty/fullsize arms. Seems a good portion of the market is moving toward micro red dots on handguns these days

Cheers
Bill

Not a huge fan of the .380, but if they were appropriately scaled down....

Leave the tiny bit of scandium out of the aluminum alloy frame and you've got yourself a 3914NL.

[Roller Delayed]

A "Classic" 39, but PC accurate.

[stansdds]

3903, which would have been a stainless 39xx upper on a silver anodized 3904 receiver.

[BAM-BAM]

A "6915"....... 6906 compact double stack frame with a 4" slide and barrel.

A couple of us have built Frankensmith versions.... from 6906s lowers and 915 uppers......
