Sure is! I do need to take it out more, but that goes for a few others too.
Edit: FYI lanyard loop was added and straight grip switched to curved

Posted these in another thread but here are two of mine a California Park Police marked M&P 40 and an Atlanta Police marked 5903. Got the M&P from an online distributor a few weeks back and the 5903 from a gun show in Tennessee years ago.
I have these two;
4003TSW marked Atlanta Police and a 469 with large numbers stamped on the frame which I was told was a PD gun but no idea of agency. I don’t know if it really is or not but I don’t know of any other reason to mark the frame like that.

Could be a property number for gun involved with a criminal case.

Nope; not Grady's. One of his deputies.
You bet Brother! Those were some great times for me.

Not mine, but still a S&W M&P semi-auto never the less.
The kalyfornya State Parks always "rode" the CHP contract, so what ever the CHP carried is what they carried. The rumor was those State Parks pistols were always in great shape because they never shot them.
I'm not sure that is a fact, at least during my tenure there. I saw CA Dept of insurance fraud, the lottery Police and ABC carrying Glocks in 9mm when I was there. The plain cloths folks didn't like the weight of the 4006. Things could have changed.

A 1993ish 5946 Memphis PD
I tried very hard to get them into a fixed sighted pistol when I was there, but they insisted on that "giant" winged adjustable sight. It was bullet proof but probably doubled the weight of the gun.
They finally got away from it after their head armorer (and I) retired.I bought a 3953 model from a forum member that looks like Taroman's pistol. Mine is numbered N.P.D. 188.
Kind of off topic here, I was just identifying the Ca State Parks 4006 configuration (similar sight choice to early CHP 4006 variants = Prod Code 103934 with "Axxxx" right side match marking and later "Bxxxx" match marking - but the CHP 4006TSW "Dxxxx" and "Exxxx" did switch to Novaks).I tried very hard to get them into a fixed sighted pistol when I was there, but they insisted on that "giant" winged adjustable sight. It was bullet proof but probably doubled the weight of the gun.
Somehow the Adjustable Sight question always seems to bring out violently differing opinions - they are "ugly" vs they are "useful" but I've never heard they "double the weight of the gun" - cant imagine its more than an ounce difference. Personally I would prefer the Night sights but the Adjustable would be my second choice with the main advantage to the Novak being their size / shape as it relates to holster use and their visually appealing geometry.
I'm not interested and I'm not advertising for them, but J&G Sales has LE Surplus 5906s for sale. I don't know if they are agency marked.
No link because of the rules, but should be easy to search out.

Brother, just kidding on that. The gun was heavy enough with or without. The reason the range staff wanted the adjustable sights is that they were easier to deal with when it came to zeroing the individual pistols. With fixed sights it would have required an armorer to make adjustments and possible even change out fronts to get a zero. It was more of w perceived problem than a reality as they found out after the switch to fixed Novaks.

They also have French marked Model 64s
That's a Newark (NJ) P.D. gun ... For a time, plainclothes carried the S&W 3953, while uniformed officers were issued the Model 6946...
