@@dalegribble1560 wow, that's a good price. I remember them always being $325-$350 but then they jumped. Picked mine up with two extra mags, extra set of grips, a case, a holster, and 600 rounds of ammo for $600. I thought it was a little high at the time but certainly not now!
I trained on the 5906 with many hours on the trigger while in LE. Love that firearm. I have all the latest go to guns, and found a good 5906 about a year ago used. I find myself gravitating back towards this gun and carrying it over a gen 5 Glock. 5906 is heavier, but a strong gun, more rounds (17+1) and very comfortable in the hand and accurate. I replaced the grip with a Hogue and makes all the difference. This gun is a sleeper in the current gun community and is fabulous. Stainless steel / alloy versus plastic frame striker fire. All the Glock plastic / polymer is great, but this is a well built gun that will last the test of time. Great trigger with options.
get one while you can. They are for sale in used gun counters everywhere! I got one a couple years ago that was a safe queen. Someone most likely either died or sold it to get an M&P plastic fantastic? I love it
One of my all time favorites, especially the ones with the shielded adjustable rear sights. 100 percent reliable with great accuracy. Not a lightweight but wasn't supposed to be.
Absolutely solid, accurate and reliable handguns. 3rd Gens. in my opinion represent some of the finest semiautomatic handguns Smith & Wesson ever made. These beauties will only increase in value over the years, and parts will become more scarce.
I bought one from my local gun shop for $250 and everything but the grips looked brand new. Found the grips on eBay and if you go on Trijicon's website you can send in your slide and they will remove your sights and replace the vials and make them look mew for $65. Love these old girls. Did the same for the 4006 CHP LE trade ins.
I’m looking for a holster for my 5906 square trigger guard do you have any recommendations I’m not able to find a holster online…I already went and got one from Blackhawk but it didn’t fit because it had a rounded guard mold
I think generic nylon that fits multiple guns...or a leather holster that has a generous trigger guard will mold to and fit the square trigger guard. My round trigger 3rd gen fits the serpa holster just fine, but yeah not the squared. 🤪
I bought my blued 5906 new when the 3rd gens came out and still have it. The amount of machining and engineering is beyond impressive, especially the time it was developed. It simply can not be reproduced today due to cost and the skilled workers Smith had are gone. The only week point on all the smith 3rd gens is that single action brass trigger spring to keep the trigger forward and not floating around. It just isn't a great design and they fail but in no way render the gun inoperable. It clearly was a head banger for the engineers and this was the easiest, cheapest and fastest was to do it.
Great catch, David, acquiring a vintage S&W 5906 pistol to go along with your 6906. I always liked those 3-generation S&W DA/SA 9mm pistols. Indeed, too bad S&W only makes polymer framed 9mms these days. Thanks for sharing this with us. God bless.
I have a 915, very good shooter. The trigger reset is incredibly short. I wonder did it come from the factory like that? (I bought it used ) It never fails
Memories from the 90s, police forces in the USA and across the world had these model with no issues, until the glocks replaced them, these model are build like a tank, still to this day, are more reliable than any plastic frame gun, sw 5900 series for life. God bless
Beautiful pistols and great shooters. I had one of these for a few years and loved it. Unfortunately, my hands are a little to larger for the grip and my middle finger knuckle rubbed on the trigger guard while shooting it.... OUCH...!
Good review. Some of the latest 59 and 4006 TSW series did have a plate under the dust cover for attachments. Also CHP TSW 4006 had a machined pic rail. These are nice guns. I have 4 TSW Smiths. One is a CHP TSW 4006. I also found a used Safariland CHP level 3 duty holster. The holsters are metal lined and are really nice. The CHP guns I think are a cut above commercial units. The guns were taken apart and checked by CHP armorers before being issued. They don't make guns like these anymore.
I'm curious what people think the 5906 would cost if produce new today. I always suggest them to people because the used price is such a bargain for what you get.
great guns! NYPD carried the 5946 variant good trigger, on par with with their revolvers. i think theyve been phased out with NYPD, usually only see the seasoned vets carrying them.
Plastic guns are not dog proof. My Service K9 as an 7 month old puppy found my Glock mag on my night stand and ate it, it was next to a 1911 mag which he was not able to eat. If my Glock would have been next to the mags he would have eaten that too. I’m not a really fan of platic guns Ricky from IBM
Nice! I live in MN too and just bought one myself. I had no intention on buying any guns today wanting be be financially responsible, but I wasn't going to pass one of those up since I've been on the lookout for one. I have absolutely no remorse over the $400 I spent :)
I just commented the same thing. I have a S&W 645 that is from 1986 but I don't have a 5906. $400.00 is a dam good price for a 5906. Hopefully I can be as lucky as you and stumble upon one in good shape :-)
Should have bought one while I had the chance years back. I prefer the squared trigger guard. Heavy gun, but seems like it would make an ideal range gun.
S&w made forged frames for these guns, we should all ask S&W to make another run of these for a few years... I would honestly pay a grand for one if they did.
Smith address this many years ago. Short answer no, simply the cost would be more than customers would pay, not to mention the 3rd gen skilled workers are gone, the tooling setup trial and error time, hand fitting, magazine production all ad up to Smith taking a bath with a 4k retail no one would pay in enough numbers to even come close to production cost. Sadly.
Another way to understand Smith's answer is the used or NOS market. $300-$500USD and anyone can own one. Now look at Colts Python. Expensive when new, then when Colt shut the door on production things got wild. Colt couldn't keep the profit margin high enough on the Python. They were flush with .gov contracts and other products with higher profit margins, couple that with multiple bankruptcies, multiple buyouts and owners, skilled Python hand fitters dying off, the used market sent prices into the thousands. Stayed like that for 20+ years all the while Colt was well aware of demand. Fast forward to a few years ago, Colts attitude of FU civilian market changed when no .gov contracts were had, new owners and new engineers wanted a peice of the hugh demand. They figured out how to build the Python almost entirely by machine and modern technology to closely match the original Python with a cost low enough customers would buy and leave a acceptable profit for the board members. The market is hugh, enough for Colt to be producing over 5k Pythons a month to this day and still not keeping up with demand, with a MSRP of 1500USD. well under the average of 3k for a used original Python. Different story for the Smith 3rd gens.
I alternate my S&W 6904 with my cz P01 for my concealed carry. Love them both, each has their own feel. At 26.5 oz with a backup 5900 series 17 round full size mag, it's an excellent peice and very well built.
I have had two of the 5906`s and a 3906. The 3906 seemed like it was the better shooter. They are gone now, but I have a 4006 with adjustable sights now. Like the other three it is as new, and is a very nice gun, albeit built like a tank. I always liked the look of this series. Thanks for your review.
I had forgotten about the full size single stack S&W 3906. I love the full size, all steel, double stack, 15 round, S&W 5906 and the 6906 (which is the compact version of the 5906) with an alloy frame and comes with a 12 round magazine, but will accept the 15 round 5906 magazines. My carry is a 3913 which is the compact size, single stack, 8 round magazine in SS. All the third generation Smith & Wesson pistols were excellent. They all have steel slides and barrels, but the compact versions have the lighter alloy frames. All of them are strongly built to last for centuries.
Never caught onto any of the S&W pistols - apart from the M&P until recently. Have to admit the design - esp the squared (not rounded) trigger guard, full hammer, high profile rear sights, shorter length makes this a hot looking piece!
I was issued a 5906 in latter part of 1990 when I was in the police academy and I carried it until late 1992 when we transitioned to the 4506. I shot it quite a bit and it was 100% reliable. Even the 4506's that we had were extremely reliable.
Great gun ! You have a lot of the same guns I own. I have the a 59 659 and 469. As you know pretty much the same guns just first and second generation. One thing I like is the 59 series magazines are all interchangeable.
Been wanting a 6906 for the last few years, but man they just don't show up in gun stores anymore. I have a model 915 but want something a little more concealed carry easy, like the 6906. I hate Tupperware guns !
They’re both beautiful. I wish S&W would bring back the gen 3 series. Reminds me of 80’s and 90’s action/cop/gangsta movies. I’m a lifelong Glock 19/23 guy, but I love 5906’s, they’re definitely in my top 5 handguns of all time.. Great vid!!!
I have exactly the same Smith & Wesson 5906 that you're reviewing in this video. I am trying to find a level ll holster for it and have had no look. I even got one directly from Blackhawk and they said it for the $5900 series, it got nowhere near close to even clicking the trigger guard. I have a Walther PPX 9mm that I'm now carrying in a level ll holster (side bottom style). Do you have any suggestions?
I have got to stay off of these you tube gun video reason being these videos keep feeding my Gun buying addiction just when I think I'm satisfied with a particular firearm here comes another one.
I have newer model round trigger guard Novak sights my first pistol bought several years ago . A hefty comfortable handgun to shoot , extentions for 6906 are available but forget the manufacturer
S&W MODEL 5906,.....9MM,...THE POLICE DEPARTMENT OF PUERTO RICO,...SERVICE PISTOL 1990-2012,...CHANGE FOR GLOCK,..& SIG SAUER,...9MMM,..40,....NOW 2020
Great video my friend! I have the older cousin of your firearms :-) I have a S&W Model 645. My gun was only produced from 1985-1988. Initially, the only reason I bought the gun is because Don Johnson carried it on Miami Vice after he stopped carrying the Bren Ten. But after carrying it and shooting it, I started to enjoy it more than my 1911's. One neat thing about my 645 is that it would cycle spent shell casings. I used to load my magazine with 8 empty shells and the gun cycled every single one of them with zero problems. These were awesome guns that I wish S&W wouldn't have stopped making. I'm going to look into finding a 5906. I have a Beretta 92FS and a Sig Sauer in 9mm but not a 5906. Thanks for sharing your awesome firearms with us!!
I think if they reintroduce then they will succeed , I think the drop in Business at that period was because of the Polymer pistols invading the market which caused a drop in the metal pistols market at that period I don’t see this smith and Wesson is less quality and performance than the sig p226, or beretta 92, or even CZ 75, actually I like the look of this smith more
First time i shot one of these is when i was hired by Brink's in 2001that was there standard issue pistols never had issues with it n very cool looking pistol.remind of Sonny Crockett🏖️🚙
You can get the spacers to make the 15 round mags of the 59xx fit w/o gap and make the grip the 59xx size. If you think the 5906 is heavy find the 4006 TSW CHP.
I believe these will go down in history as one of the best firearms ever made
I bought one today for $400. It's not financially irresponsible when it comes to these. I absolutely love it!
I just bought one from Classic Firearms, a VG surplus, looking forward to poking holes at the range
@@dalegribble1560 wow, that's a good price. I remember them always being $325-$350 but then they jumped. Picked mine up with two extra mags, extra set of grips, a case, a holster, and 600 rounds of ammo for $600. I thought it was a little high at the time but certainly not now!

What should one be asking for, if one was to be selling a 5906/2 mags, in ex. condition?
I wish Smith still made pistols like this. I am so tired of everyone going nuts over platic, "striker-fired," Blocks.
get one while you can. They are for sale in used gun counters everywhere! I got one a couple years ago that was a safe queen. Someone most likely either died or sold it to get an M&P plastic fantastic? I love it
Me too man! I only like steel
I have a 5906, 6906 and a 4006CHP. They are my favorite hand guns. The 6906 came from AIM Surplus and I don't think it had ever been cleaned!
I have a 5906 that only has the saftey/de-cocker on one side. It was made June 1995
Great video..thank you..from a fellow Minnesotan enjoying the warmer weather.
One of my all time favorites, especially the ones with the shielded adjustable rear sights. 100 percent reliable with great accuracy. Not a lightweight but wasn't supposed to be.

I just bought a 5906 that looks like new. No wear is visible. I got it and three magazines for $250
deal ....................mine cost $625 here in Taxachusetts
I remember lusting after these when I was a kid......but had no money!

Dave,I miss these guns, we carried these for the NYC Correction Dept. I wish Smith would bring this line back. I own the 3953 8 round version
My first issued handgun. It is built like a tank and I walked with 15 degree list with that boat anchor. But it works.

I was issued the 5906 back in the early 90s and carried it while I worked in Nuclear Security.Great gun.
I love my 5906 which it is a police trade they are built like tanks.
Those are very handsome pistols! I've always fancied having one. So many guns, so little gun money!

That is an early 5906. It is late 88' or early 89. The reason it does not have the fancy stainless sights is that they used the 459 series sights.
Think you would really like the 5903, same as 5906 but has alum frame and a lot lighter.
Great catch, David, acquiring a vintage S&W 5906 pistol to go along with your 6906. I always liked those 3-generation S&W DA/SA 9mm pistols. Indeed, too bad S&W only makes polymer framed 9mms these days. Thanks for sharing this with us. God bless.

5906 is a great pistol....solid like a rock
I have a 5906, love the gun until you have to re assemble and deal with those little prongs that stick up.

$999 imo😁

NYPD carried the 5946 variant
good trigger, on par with with their revolvers.
i think theyve been phased out with NYPD, usually only see the seasoned vets carrying them.
McGar mags works great in my 5906, not a ZERO malfunction ever encountered.
Wrong comparison, GOOD JOB 👏

Do you still have both of your pistols. The 5906 and the 6906
Sir, recently I got handgun license interesting to purchase Smith and Wesson 5906 it's price in Indian money
Are you seriously filming a gun video in the middle of the street in your neighborhood? Whoa!
Jim Rodriguez nope.
My property.
My business.
I can never remember how that ammo company is pronounced, so I just go with "S&B!"
Great gun ! You have a lot of the same guns I own. I have the a 59 659 and 469. As you know pretty much the same guns just first and second generation. One thing I like is the 59 series magazines are all interchangeable.

as for the rail comment you can get an adapter rail that screws around the trigger guard
Woow. Remember this from the 1990s..missed em so much.
Como faço pra compra um carregador da pistola Smith y Wesson modelo 5906 cal 9 mm
6906 the best
I own a 5906 and a 4013 that I carry?
I have some insulation myself , I wear shorts shoveling snow !! lol Also got the 5906 and the even smaller 3913 which is awesome! 8+1 single stack !!!
These S&W were created to be an American equivalent P38.
Also, the 5906TSW models were stainless steel and had rail systems.
They’re both beautiful. I wish S&W would bring back the gen 3 series. Reminds me of 80’s and 90’s action/cop/gangsta movies. I’m a lifelong Glock 19/23 guy, but I love 5906’s, they’re definitely in my top 5 handguns of all time.. Great vid!!!
Hell yeah for sure. Absolute tanks. Big as fuck too. Love em.
G19/23, S&W 5906, Browning HP, and ALL P-Series Rugers. Oh and the Khar K9
Well said, sir.
And Lethal Weapon 3
They are actually smaller in size than the Glock 17 and the Beretta 92 which both have almost 5 inch barrells
I have S&W699 3rd generation on layaway. I should be picking it up by the end of the month. It is a former PD gun.
The chp issued 59s had rails.
I have exactly the same Smith & Wesson 5906 that you're reviewing in this video. I am trying to find a level ll holster for it and have had no look. I even got one directly from Blackhawk and they said it for the $5900 series, it got nowhere near close to even clicking the trigger guard. I have a Walther PPX 9mm that I'm now carrying in a level ll holster (side bottom style). Do you have any suggestions?
The round trigger guard makes the difference in fitting theses holsters. The squared trigger guard is hard to fit
I have got to stay off of these you tube gun video reason being these videos keep feeding my Gun buying addiction just when I think I'm satisfied with a particular firearm here comes another one.
Overbuilt like a brick shithouse...and just as beautiful and functional.
I have newer model round trigger guard Novak sights my first pistol bought several years ago . A hefty comfortable handgun to shoot , extentions for 6906 are available but forget the manufacturer
S&W MODEL 5906,.....9MM,...THE POLICE DEPARTMENT OF PUERTO RICO,...SERVICE PISTOL 1990-2012,...CHANGE FOR GLOCK,..& SIG SAUER,...9MMM,..40,....NOW 2020
Great pistols, I enjoy the 3913. Took me forever to locate one🎉
Great video my friend! I have the older cousin of your firearms :-) I have a S&W Model 645. My gun was only produced from 1985-1988. Initially, the only reason I bought the gun is because Don Johnson carried it on Miami Vice after he stopped carrying the Bren Ten. But after carrying it and shooting it, I started to enjoy it more than my 1911's. One neat thing about my 645 is that it would cycle spent shell casings. I used to load my magazine with 8 empty shells and the gun cycled every single one of them with zero problems. These were awesome guns that I wish S&W wouldn't have stopped making. I'm going to look into finding a 5906. I have a Beretta 92FS and a Sig Sauer in 9mm but not a 5906. Thanks for sharing your awesome firearms with us!!
Found a SW 659 love the feel, the weight is well balanced. Pretty sweet imo
Just picked up an unfired, NIB with all three barrels, papers and accessories Super 9. What a beauty! One of a hundred ever made. Nice score!
Why it’s been discontinued…?
No one was buying them
I think if they reintroduce then they will succeed , I think the drop in Business at that period was because of the Polymer pistols invading the market which caused a drop in the metal pistols market at that period I don’t see this smith and Wesson is less quality and performance than the sig p226, or beretta 92, or even CZ 75, actually I like the look of this smith more
Because it is cheaper to pour plastic no one wants to machine any kind of metal anymore
They can get the same money for less product
First time i shot one of these is when i was hired by Brink's in 2001that was there standard issue pistols never had issues with it n very cool looking pistol.remind of Sonny Crockett🏖️🚙
Excellent review! You covered all the bases. And yes, you're nuts for the short sleeves in 29 degrees, lol.
that would be the best primary and back up carry...
Search for WM-0014 on Internet to buy the mags for 5906.
6904
I LOVE THOSE MAGLITE XL 50’s.
If you step up to the 5903 TSW you get a rail. I saught after a rail and never use it
You can get the spacers to make the 15 round mags of the 59xx fit w/o gap and make the grip the 59xx size.
If you think the 5906 is heavy find the 4006 TSW CHP.
You also have to realise the smoothness of these guns is also the slide riding on 2 sets of rails.
👍
The S&W fits my hand much better than the Glock
Mag safety
With arthritic fingers, I find the 6906 much easier to use than the Glock.
