Making a list of 3rd Gen TSW Models with Integral Rails

[UltimaRatio]

After years living overseas, I'm back in the States now and looking to collect some Smith and Wessons. I don't if it is because I associate them with my 20's, or if it is because they are objectively the best, but I find the 3rd gen TSW/Tactical models with integral rails to be the peak of S&W gun design. The only thing I have seen from S&W since then that comes close to exciting me is the new full size M&P carry comp in 9mm. I would love to have the exact same in 10mm, because I can't stand the "goblin nose" look of the PC model.

So what TSW integral rail models are out there? I know of the 4006TSW stainless (CHP model) and 4556TSW stainless and 4556TSW melonite (WVSP model), and the 3913TSW and 3914TSW. Are there any others?

Not integral. But, nice gun.

Hmm... google images just shows riveted rails. I would love to see an integral rail version.

Guess I misunderstood what "integral" means.

Always thought of it as an essential part to make a whole.

Thanks for the pic. Now I know better.

As a side note the rail was useless for us as we couldn't mount a light per policy.

Just made it hard to find a decent security holster for duty and much wasn't available for off duty.

The RCMP 5946 had the integral rail, but weren't a TSW model. The slide and the firing pin retainer were the original 5946 style, as were the slide to frame rails

Good to know. Not that I’ll ever have one.
