In 1999 the German S&W distributor, Wischo GMBH, Erlangen, Germany requested that S&W produce a five-inch .356TSW pistol under the name SUPER 9 built to fire the 9X21 and the .356TSW cartridges. These pistols were serial numbered in the range MSF6838-MSF7003 with a total production of 166 units. S&W shipped just over 100 units out of the country and the balance to various U.S. distributors. The product code for the single barrel (9x19mm) domestic version was 148470, There are at least five other product codes listed for the Super 9, they are 108099, 148661, 208099, 149180 and 148661 and thus, difficult to determine quantities and configurations.
