4006 CHP and 4013 sighting

Enjoy your CHP 4006TSWs. They were very reliable and and tamed the 40 S&W round to a degree. I was able to purchase mine 3 years ago upon my retirement and it served me well.

The CHP has started transitioning to the M&P 4, 1.0. The transition will take 2.5 years. The pistol is issued with 6 mags and night sights. Got to handle one the other day, so far nothing but positive feedback from those carrying it on duty.

Got mine in today. I was a little disappointed that is was not in the condition that some of these have been. Mine is a 8000 serial number and the agency number is just the serial number with a E prefix. Mine shows a decent amount of carry and shooting wear, some holster rub marks and grips are a bit dinged up. I'd rate it about 80%, but it locks up tight and the trigger is heavy but buttery smooth. Best 3rd Gen trigger I have ever felt. I only had a chance to run 3 quick magazines through it but it was stupid easy to keep in the x-ring.

Much easier than the striker fired replacement...
 
I got mine today and its a nice clean gun , has some use but its better than I thought I may get . My holsters for Desantis holsters and a black Galco fit the gun perfect.

Not that it applies to you, and your range experience, but your comment made me think of something ...

While some shooters may compliment or complain about the weight of a handgun, there's something to be said for a handgun possessing a certain amount of heft, and balanced weight.

Not just to help with mitigating recoil forces, either.

Some shooters have an easier time of tightening their practical accuracy when using a heavier gun, as the weight makes it less susceptible to small shifts on muzzle movement. More resistance to muscular twitches and breezes, and especially some better resistance to gun movement when "over compensating" while trying to adjust and refine a sight picture.

Of course, this "advantage" can quickly shift to becoming a disadvantage as a range session progresses, and letting a heavy handgun hang out there off the end of your arm becomes fatiguing. ;)

Just thought I'd mention it.

The boat anchor all steel 4006/4566TSW's can really offer some "stability" of hold because of their weight ... as long as the shooter isn't busily swinging and jerking their arms, because then weight, inertia and momentum become more than theoretical issues to ponder for a shooter rapidly trying to make solid hits. ;)

I still rather like my assorted light plastic pistols, but care has to be taken so their very lightness doesn't become something which allows them to more easily wiggle and shift when trying to zero in the sights for an unsupported shot.

I had another instructor shoot it today who has never fired a non-polymer pistol before. They commented about how much snappier the recoil impulse felt vs the M&P, but loved how smooth the trigger felt. Poor youngsters, all they know is striker fired/horrible triggers systems. I am really going to mess them up and bring in a 1911 with a competition trigger....
 
That's why I like bringing my 5906 to the range. I just aim at the target and the bullets hit that point. Makes me look like some sort of pistolero.

Inventory

I talked to him again yesterday and he still had the 4006. I already bought a 4013tsw from him and it arrived today. It appears to have never been issued. It is in 99% condition. Best 385.00 I spent this year. I will be buying the 4006 rail gun as well. Don't need it but need isn't a factor....
 
Mine just lost the right side decock lever tonight . I looked it over well lubed every thing no problems
 
coppercustom.com is also selling the CHP4006 for $399+$30. I just ordered one but they are back ordered for 2-3 weeks. Late BD present to me : )
 
Recently received my 4006TSW CHP from SummitGB and was a little disappointed to not get one of the Excellent condition specimens that others received. Mine has some pretty significant holster and finish wear, as well as a dinged-up recoil guide rod head, and I would rate it as NRA Good condition. Function seems good and overall I'm happy with the gun for the price paid, but I'll be turning to an auction site where I can see the pistol I'm buying ahead of time if I get another one of these. And I think I'm gonna get another one of these...
 
I just received my 4006TSW and three magazines from Summit Gun Broker and am very happy with my purchase. The pistol needed to be cleaned, but it is in excellent condition.

I could only find a few very minor cosmetic flaws. The underside of the trigger guard has a very minor scuff, the black right side decocking lever has been replaced with a silver lever, the slide stop and left decocking lever show a touch of holster wear, and the grip has a few minor scuffs (that look much worse in the photos than they do in person).
