thank you for reviewing such a great OLD SCHOOL AMERICAN pistol... in my opinion these were the GREATEST handguns ever created.. i have a 5906 that ive been edc since 1996.. i have everything from polymer to stainless steel.. but the 5906 is to me the GREATEST EVER! thank you sootch you're an awesome AMERICAN PATRIOT!
Thanks Brother! If CA doesn't want them, we'll take 'em! Lol!
NEVER OBEY have a 5904 sw 9mm the darn thing never lets me down like you said a great American pistol!
NEVER OBEY I
I agree that the 5906 may be the most iconic 3rd gen smith. I've become a fan of these forgotten gems as of recently.
NEVER OBEY it is a great piece but in my opinion I have to say the model 1006 is my favorite.
man I need one of these in my life
Tim's your huckleberry.
John Capozzi he ain't no daisy, neither
Very nice looking gun, for sure.
You need... definitely.
Mrgunsngear Channel My thoughts exactly! Love the channel by the way but hate the 9ers lol
As a retired California Highway Patrol officer, I loved that weapon. It replaced the Smith & Wesson 38 plus P. Thanks for a great review.
I am one of those guys that would love to see a reproduction run of these old Smith and Wesson pistols.
Put me on the list : ) Thanks John!
John Pagdilao ditto I think there is a market.
I think so too as long as the prices aren't too bad. Look at what Troy industries is doing with it's reproduction AR's. Maybe S&W can donate to some of the proceeds to charity.
They will probably never re produce these, I heard they no longer have have their older experienced staff to work on these any longer which is why they aren't under warranty any longer.
I'm the same way. I also wish Ruger would bring back the P series. Screw all the polymer guns these days.
Awesome video Sootch! I'm an officer with the CHP and have been carrying the 4006 since 1999. The first generation until 2007, then the 4006TSW since. Thursday I go through the class to get the new issue pistol, the M&P 40. It'll be my last day with the old warhorse 4006. Be safe brother!
Thanks for your Service Gregg! Be safe out there Brother!
Officer Gregg Do you like the M&P 40 ?
Did they give you the option to buy your previous service pistol?
@@Floridaman1780_
Yes. I bought both of my 4006 pistols to hand down to my two daughters.
Wow. CHP went to the M&P 40? Great gun. Please stay safe and enjoy a long retirement. I had many friends in CHP in Sacramento. Wonder people. So much to learn from them. God Bless CHP and all of it's officers and staff.
Un-freaking-believable that I, as a Californian, cannot own this weapon...
Dan Segovia seriously.
I agree... it's a sad situation my friend.
How long are the California gun owners gonna put up with it?
Oh, it's believable alright.
Dan Segovia-Yeah and it's still in the beginning phase. Ca will continue pushing forth more and more anti gun laws. Too much voter clout from northern and southern Ca. I'm moving
Smith & Wesson + STEEL! Those pistols were built TOUGH! I remember them well. Thanks for the vid.
Thanks Brother! It's a Beast : )
Man I miss all steel guns. Wish S&W would bring them back on a limited run.😔
I was lucky enough to get one of the 4006TSW CHP for $350, great shooter, tames the 40 very well. Wish they would bring back the Gen 3's, nothing like an old, stainless steel S&W
I ran across one paid a good price for it wow been looking for one for a while I'm keeping it it's a collectors item clean it up I'll be good
I believe with enough support from s&w fans s&w will make these 5906 and 4006 tsw again
I don't think so. There are still thousands of them out there and these would probably be a 7-800 gun if they were to make them again. Dont think there would be many biters at that kinda price.
I love the S&W 3 gen pistols, I carried a 6906 for 10 years as a LEO. I still have my 6906 and I just recently purchased the 5906 and the 4006 TSW.
I bought a 6906 3 months ago and tonight I just ordered this one.!
CHP started issuing the 4006 .40 in 1991 and had them pretty much standard issue by the 1992 L.A riots. They carried the 4006 from 1991-2006 and went to the TSW in 2006 and still carry them in 2017 but an M&P .40 switch is imminent.
I am a proud owner of a fantastic 4006 TSW! What a pistol. Great American design and really like the Heritage of being a CHP trade in. One firearm i will never part with and it will be a great pistol to pass down through my family. Thank you Smith & Wesson for this amazing design and thank you Sootch for another great review!!!
I miss when Smith and Wesson made steel autoloaders (not including the SW1911). To me they're one of the best looking guns of all time. I'd say they ought to start making them again in 9mm, .40, and .45.
Good video. It would be great if S&W would introduce something like this but can you imagine the price for one and the cost of tooling up? I need to keep an eye out for more older smiths.
Good point. The Trade ins work for me : ) Thanks B!
As a patrolman, I carried a 5906 for most of my career until we got a new chief. He decided that the department would switch to Glock 17. I missed my 5906..
The law enforcement agency I retired from has never issued firearms probably because of a cost issue. Now, they require officers to purchase from an approved list in .40 and .45 ACP.
For the final 13 years of my career I carried a S&W Model 411 with the eleven round magazines in .40 S&W of the value line. I have never had a failure to feed to failure to eject since purchasing the handgun in August of 1995. The third generation S&W handguns are some of the finest handguns Smith and Wesson ever made.
Decades old and still better than the M&P.
DGK201 lol. These things blow an m&p away
music man is that why they're still making them?
The original forty, wasn't it? It's a shame they don't manufacture them now. I'll bet it's more durable than an M&P.
I know (although I admit to not thinking about that when I wrote the comment) , but didn't Smith invent the cartridge? And for a third gen gun?
Defintaly agree...I think they should have kept improving this platform...
Great review! I just bought this exact model from an individual yesterday. He showed it to me several months ago along with a SIG P229 40, and a S&W 5906 which I traded a stainless Ruger Speed Six (sans warning stamp on the barrel) for at the time. I was really torn between the 4006 and 5906 and felt like I should've gotten the 4006 instead, so I called the guy back and he said he’d hold it for me. I watched this review as well as one on Military Arms Channel countless times and decided that I had to have it. It is a BEAST! Fortunately we have open carry in Texas so it’s no big deal if it shows or prints, but weighing 40 ounces it doesn’t take much to become an unwilling sagger if your belt isn’t tight. Well, thanks for the great review, it really helped me make a good decision. Thumbs way up!
HETFIELD STACHE GROWNING STRONG ...NOT BAD :p
folks are gonna be kicking themselves when .40 come back en vouge
What comes around goes around : )
I'm .40 tried and true.. Let them keep buying up the 9mm's, only making my guns and ammo cheaper :)
Kohy Holmes if the tactical bearded instructors started promoting it again it would come back lol
I couldn't agree more. There are so many 'followers' out there who cant seem to formulate their own ideas based on logic. I just picked up my second, and possibly my last .40, for now that is.
CLplusP yes. from a logic standpoint, I can't see how anyone could be mad with a heavy, fast round.
What a gorgeous firearm!
That thing's a trade in?? Every part except the controls looks brand new! Nice!
Pretty nice, heavy gun. But the magazine load with 11 rounds is really hard to push in the magwell. It is more like 10 rounds capacity. The slide is heavy to pull. It is not smooth like Beretta 92FS.
Oh a sponsored video where you never have anything negative to say.
Great American firearm. Thank you for the review and support for us in California.
Nice review sootch
I wish they bring back model 5906 in production
And wish you bring the long mustache back 😁👍🏻
Just picked up one, a retired CHP gun. Looking forward to playing with it.
Great pistol, however, I don't know why Sootch00 or MAC don't mention that the CHP 4006 spec deletes the trigger play spring that results in a terrible SA trigger that wobbles, is very notchy and feels like something is broken. Mine felt so bad I ordered the parts to install. Would be desirable to know in a review.
Ordered one tonight Feb. 16, 2020 after watching Copper Custom & your video.
You convinced me I bought one from Copper Custom, absolutely love it. Thanks for the great review.
I carried one until I retired last year. I was able to purchase my duty weapon when I retired. Due to California's gun laws, I was sold the weapon without magazines because the department was not allowed to sell 11 round magazines.
Excellent video! Brought back many memories.

Wish Smith and Wesson still produced pistols like this. Materials made of made them more like heirloom pieces could pass down, not like modern polymer pieces.
Love that pistol! One of the best ever made!
I've always wanted a third gen S&W and later watching your video I thought screw it, so I placed a order at Copper Customs for one.
Hands down one of my favorite pistols. I really wish I had bought one back in the day when I had the chance.
Thanks for doing this review on the S&W. My dad owned one and now I have it and it scares the crap outta me everytime I shoot. The recoil feels like the vibration from an aluminum baseball bat! From what you said in the video, he has the black piece screwed into the bottom of the rail. So I guess its an original. But the serial isn't CHP. Its VJB, I don't know what that means. Also I can only load 10 rounds and he had 2 magazines. Im still learning how to use this gun and im glad I found your video. Again, it scares the shit outta me.
Slade Washington it's a very cool pistol it does got some fire power I have the 1006 Smith and wesson 10mm the daddy of the 4006
Well executed review Also for 5906. Seen it many times over. Grest old school pistol. Hoped to own one. Good job.
The E# is not the serial, that is the CHPs weapon identifier (it is also on the slide and the barrel so they are kept together). The serial is the one on stamped on the frame from the factory beginning with CHP
Excellent review, ordered mine yesterday from Copper Custom. Not a fan of 40 but these guns just look awesome.
Love this pistol. Thanks for everything you do, Don!
Thanks Justin!
Love my 5906.
had a 4566 tsw great gun
I want one so bad, but I cant find them anywhere
Omg omg omg I need that 🤤🤤
ok Sootch next do a review on the Ruger P94 40 cal, I carry it 90% of the time, I like it a lot.
I just love these 3rd gen Smiths. They are so iconic.
Now THAT is a nice firearm.
Way to "put your money where your mouth is" Tim and Copper Custom Armament. You're a class act!
Semper Fi, Brother, TreeTop
Tim is a top notch guy!
I seen a used version of this gun here in Michigan for only $325!!
Jay H I got mine for 300 bucks but had to replace the recoil spring
These give me Reservoir Dogs vibes all day.
I have the 5906, and 1076, and 1006. Would love to add this one to the collection!
Man I want one of those
Big props for donating the $15 a gun to the Cali cause. Dianne Feinstein appreciates it
Jeffrey Appel it's gonna pay for her next facelift! LOL
fuck commiefornia
Thanks for supporting us here behind enemy lines. You guys that live in free America don't realize how good you have it. Don't take it for granted.
We've got your back brother! Fight the Good Fight!
I have the 4043 great gun! Having trouble finding sights and mags but great gun!
Nice gun wish I could find one around Cleveland Ohio . Also like the stache !
Thanks Bob!
Aftermarket support? Where?????
Yes! As a Pro 2A Patriot stuck behind enemy lines, KOMMIEFORNIA...... PLEASE HEEEELLLLLLPPPPPPPP!!!!!!
I figured the CHP edition would have the orange tip on the end of the barrel; I've been wrong before.
Steven Bringhurst haha that's good
My father has two 4006's (non-tactical, so they don't have the rail) he bought back when he retired from the Alaska State Troopers. They are wonderful shooting pistols and I love them. The only thing I would change, given the opportunity, is the magazine disconnect.
Got a 5906, amazing previous owner sold it to me pristine, with barely used 9 (nine!) mags.
Also a 4506, which I chose to buy a new barrel for, because previous owner wasn't so amazing and honestly don't know what he tried to do by sawing off some material from the lug area.
Got a 1006 this Christmas, two mags, had barely been fired, another jewel.
Been looking for years for a 4006 to no avail, and oh, look, I open up YT aaaaand... ta daaa... _you reaalllly, reallly_ know where to stick your finger, YT algorithm, don't cha? haha!!
Loved the video anyway, thanks a lot mate. :-) Happy New Year!
CHP officer?
The only thing sexier than that pistol is the stache.
Edward Blake tactical sootch stache, gunmetal grey.
Edward Blake the skull mask was pretty friggin sexy too! LMAO
I had a brand new 6906 (beautiful) in the late 90's, then came the Plastic pistols, WOW new and great....sold the 6906, bought a Glock (ugly) and a few other Plastic guns. Recently I found a fairly nice 6906 that I am "restoring" so sorry I ever sold the BRAND NEW ONE.. THIS is a REAL PISTOL
Another great review, two thumbs up. Now I want one...... Thanks Sootch00
Thanks Marco!
on copper custom now. Now i see that the California CHP trade ins are not available to California residents...slap in the face right there. WTF!!! I wanted one.
I took mine to the firing range me and my grand son and that's very cool pistol she is powerful very powerful wow my grand son wants to go back again
Great video. 13:18 ?
At 8:55 you said there are a ton of sights to replace these. I can't seem to find them. Also, there is a spring underneath that rear sight.
Any contacts, because mine shoots low. I need an adjustable sight. Thank you!!!
I carry one of those when I worked for brinks
Trigger is too heavy and that chamber hole is big enough for Mr Magoo , gotta have exposed hammer.Good review but ill pass on that one.
That sample is in great condition. Need to find one like that myself. Great review - thank you.
😮
I have the G-decocker on my M9. All my friends have 92FS's, exept one who also has a M9. They tease me about the decocker only function saying that my saftey is broken. I don't care, I wouldn't even use the damn thing without the G-decocker. So I guess I have a M9G technically.
Anyone that actually believes 9MM is just as capable as .40 S&W needs to go watch Paul Harrell's "9MM vs. .40 S&W Police handguns" video. All the confidence you had in 9MM will go straight out the window.
Does Any One have a suggestion of a pistol for $300-$350that would be worth looking into for 9mm. My SD9VE busted literally after less than a year. After it gets back from Smith I am selling it as I don't trust it anymore. Keep in mind that I am college student so saving more money than that is not very possible at the moment. I only have my Ruger LCP but as winter approaches would prefer to get a 9mm again. Thanks to anybody who suggests.
What characteristic made it an UNAPPROVED pistol in California?? I have several of these pistols, they are great pistols, would not swap one of these for 10 Glocks. BB
Smith and Wesson 4006 pistol. 10mm. You can't purchase it in CA. Has a pretty Ergonomic feel to it.weighs 40 n a half Ounce.
Can you do a Smith & Wesson model 4505 & a Smith & Wesson model 4506-1 & an IMI Desert Eagle Mark VII?
I'm definitely in the market for one of these
AHHHHHH! I hate you Sootch! I saw these for sale last week on the site because someone pointed me that way and they were sold out! I've been trying like hell to find a good 4006 or 5906 that isn't priced stupid high. Lucky find man, and for a PD trade in it looks great, hope you keep it.
I personally love 40 S&W despite the fact that 9mm has better loading; ... because modern loading not only applies to 9mm but other calibers as well. It just seems like law enforcement is not learning from there mistakes in Miami Florida 1986.
I am seriously considering this as my first handgun. I am also thinking Beretta 96 or Sig P226. Comments/thoughts welcome.
I don't know what you mean by your statement that they aren't legal in CA. Are you refering to the police buy back pistols or 4006 in general. I have a 4006 and it is totally legal in CA. It's a very smooth operating double action with a great trigger pull. The standard issue CHP model 4006 had an adjustable rear sight for windage and elevation. It had side wings on the rear sight. The one I purchased brand new from a gun shop only had the fixed sight. S&W would fit my slide with an adjustable sight if I were to send it in. The CHP would sell the duty gun to the officer when he/she retired for full retale price which was in my opinion CS.
I'll be completely honest, that looks like somebody shoved a 1911 slide into a Sig p226 frame. It's fucking beautiful.
The 4046 model of this gun, made for brinks, is double action only.
It's tough to get a smooth trigger pull without dragging your sights off Target.
Wish there was an easy way to get mine to a SA/DA.
Glock may have beaten them to the punch, but I dont RECALL hearing about Smith's exploding when you pull the trigger.
If you can put the 5906 magazine in side the 4006 frame .can you place the 5906 barrel inside the 4005 slide?
If so, can it then be fired?
I have the Glock from the South Carolina highway patrol. Found it in North Carolina.
Alright, time to piss California off! ... 'Police' guns in civilian hands... MUahahahaha!
The actual serial number starts with CHPXXXX. The “E” number is the numbers from the serial number and was a control to keep the slide, barrel, and frame from each gun together according to CHP armorers.
I bought a 5906 because of your review on it. Now ... looks like I'll be checking in with MAC to see if they have any left. :)
I collect s&w and I EDC this pistol very often. Love this firearm. I invest in a quality belt and holster so I don't have to carry a cheaply made plastic pos.
I think that is so funny the CHP trade there guns in then they get sold and $15 from everyone sold goes to fight laws against 2A. I bet that just chaps Californias ass.😂😂😂
Citizens in CA get screwed - the pistol is good enough for the CHP, but for citizens, it’s deemed unsafe. Cops get 11 rounds, citizens get 10. What is the logic?
Had this gun for many years, it's horrible FYI chp just switched over to m n p compact 40.....and not the 2.0
I'd put up a 3rd Gen S&W against ANY plastic striker fire crap of today and you'll see S&W will perform just as well if not better.
California gun, California history, An old relic, but is not California legal. I hate this state.
