Description:

The 3rd generation S&W semi-auto pistol S&W Model 4006 was introduced by Smith & Wesson on January 17, 1990 along with the new .40 S&W cartridge. It is a stainless steel frame and slide double-action, semi-automatic handgun with 4 inch barrel, De-cock/safety and an 11-round staggered-column magazine. It replaced 2nd generation S&W semi-autos and featured a wrap around one piece grip versus standard 2 piece side grips and low profile 3 dot Novak sights. A lightweight aluminum framed S&W 4003 was also produced that weighed 800 grams (29 ounces) and was more comfortable to carry. The 4046 model was a DAO (double action only) pistol. The first 2 digits in the model number indicate caliber. The last digit either a 3 or 6 indicate aluminum or stainless steel frame respectively. Various safety features include a safety lever, drawing the firing pin away from the hammer as well as the inability to fire without a magazine inserted.

The Model 4006 has been used by many law enforcement agencies as a standard duty sidearm, including by the California Highway Patrol , California State Parks and Rec. and until recently, the Colorado State Patrol.
