I wish that the 5900s series could make a comeback to the market, Colt brought back the Python and the Anaconda, so, i think that Smith & Wesson could bring the 5900s series back.
I wish he demonstrated the 59o6...an ALL STEEL GUN, & and NOT ALUMINUM pistol. Yes I like an all steel one. That's what I call real gun. Really tired "polymer"...I.e., plastic!😮😅 It seems everything is plastic except kids' toy TONKA Trucks which ARE STEEL!😅😅😊
Good video. Ah the old 5903, my 1st issued duty gun, even with the Hogue grip I put on. Hated that gun. Hated the decocker safety & magazine disconnect. If the mag got bumped loose or safety clicked down in a struggle, you had a brick. If you wanted to shoot the round in the chamber during a reload, nope, it’s a brick. I was so glad when we went to Glock 17’s. 😁
Good comparison. I'm an old school S&W guy all the way with Models 59, 3914, 439 and 669. They are all I need or want. Real American metal. Sold my Shield.
5903 ANY day. I am currently in the process of 'going back' to traditional DA/SA handguns: Walther P5, SIG SP2022, P239, S&W 910, and S&W 3914. My only striker-fired handguns now are my PPQ M2 and G43X.
Carried the 5903 for several years until our dept switched to Sig P226 40’s. Always liked the 5903 and never had any issues with it. Wish I’d bought it when we switched over. Thanks for the video!
I have had probably 30 3rd Gen guns. I am left with 9 or 10. Excellent guns. I have M&P’s also, but my home defense weapon is a 5906. And I love the mag disconnect. When I carried my old 3913, the safety was on. I was in my Beretta and Smith phase then, but as the years went on, lighter and smaller is better for carry, so my M&P Plus is what I carry.
Till this day the best budget EDCs out the SD9VE🪶👑,MP9/40 2.0 3.6 Compact😴👑/SubC,and the 🛡+ TS,and I still EDC the SD9VE w/🛡+TS appendix over my MP/Glock now also try download compacts to 10/12rd EDC over smaller guns be surprised 🤣
Why did they stop making the 5906 series is what i call it i liked the 4506 i think that was the 45 version but why would they stop making a awesome gun like those if they were to start production of those again i think they would be glad they did i know a shit load of people that would be going to the store to buy them i know you can still buy old ones if you can find them that arent priced way to high and gun broker is one of those places that sells them for more then i think they should or some company should start making copies i would be happy with that look at the barreta 92 several companies have copied them all good quality
Old school blows out new school think about it the 686 -2 through -4 best 686 es their was new in today's world is crap its all about faster lighter and with that comes cheapness all those beautiful revolvers with Hilary holes and the mand p line blows in my opinion had to have a second gen just to be ok smith and Wesson used to use their engineers to be different now its lets chase the glock lets chase the micro compact bs. Smith use to be known for their quality now their just sell outs like the rest shame .get off your mand p kick and give us quality manufacturing like u use to
@sisleymichael God willing, we will all grow old! Not meant as an insult, just old compared to current norms. I love striker fired guns, but those metal Smiths are 🤌
@@therulesaredifferent8280 I know you did not mean anything bad. It is just that one day I woke up and was not 25 anymore, 65, retired, and on social security. Time went fast.
The sw5906 is the gun that destroyed Tyler Durden. The Narrator took the gun from a police officer, and as the film was released, and set, in the 1990s, this is a nice little detail. Sorry for telling you something you probably already knew 🤗
Still favor the older one. I immediately fell in love with the 5906, when I saw them on the X-Files TV show, growing up in the 90s. I wish S&W released the 5906 with modern upgrades, instead of selling ninja stars and crumby tacticool stuff.
I wish S&W would go back to producing more DA/SA guns which I think the best for conceal carry just more compact. S&W CSX is a step in the right direction. Thank you for the review.
@@roaringsteelmedia I go to Gatewood or Numrich to get old parts. They have about everything. Gatewood especially if it's old Sig, HK,S&W really has a lot of classic parts at both
That 5903 looks like the sidearm of every police officer I remember as a kid in the 80s and 90s (and yes as a teenager with a muscle car in the late 80s/90s we gat to know each other). That thing is old school cool and for a couple of ozs, awesome for OWB here is South Carolina. Still not sure about that hinged trigger on the 2.0
I bought a S&W model 39 for a range and training gun way back in the 1970's. Must have put thousands of rounds through it by dozens of shooters to auto pistols. Never even a hick-up!
Both guns are in my rotation regularly. I also have a 6906 and a 915 and pretty much the entire 2.0 lineup. I also carry Berettas that are similar to the 5900 Series, same battery of arms so personally, I’m good either way.
I feel always happy when I see the new notification for the Sootch00 video👍My father has 5906.The craftmanship and the quality is perfect.I wish the company still continues to produce the 590.. series handguns.
Nothing wrong with these old guns. I still drag out my 2nd generation 469 occasionally. Huge improvement from 2nd generation to 3rd generation. And there's your algorithm offering
Plastics are good for police, when You have it every day all day weight is the most important thing =) But I like old school steel heavy firearms =) Greatings form Portugal =)
I still have a 659 I bought in 1985. Hard to beat. The entire 59 series, as well as it's related cousins, is legendary for a reason. There are still clones produced, and still firearms designed to take the magazines. Mec-Gar still makes magazines for them. The 59 was produced and released in 1971, but contrary to the video, that's not where it started. The 39 hit the market in 1955. There were DA/SA versions made, and DAO versions made. There were tactical versions, and precision competition versions, and Performance Center versions made in a variety of calibers. These S&W pistols have always set a bar to meet, and continue to do so even today. Even the venerable Glock has yet to surpass the standards that this series of pistols set. Sure, many polymer pistols have changeable backstraps. But traditional metal frame pistols have changeable grips, with aftermarket grips available. The video gives a very limited perspective on that matter. Do LOK grips not exist? How many aftermarket companies supply backstraps for polymer pistols? None.
Really wish S&W would do a documentary with the development of the M&P. The M&P was a game changer for the S&W and brought the company back into the automatic pistol game to give Glock a run for its money. Would like to know about the engineers and the marketing team.
Yup, tracking that. Which makes it more interesting S&W went back to the drawing board and designed the M&P with the hinge trigger. I'd say that's a good comeback from defeat. @@jason200912
I picked up a 5903 from AIM surplus about 4 years ago. It was a police trade-in. Kind of a pig-in-a-poke. It was beat to shit! I almost refused it. Said screw it, let’s rebuild it. I stripped it down & Cerakoted the frame. Put all new internals in it, sans a new barrel. I found a new, old stock correct grip even. It turned out so nice. Great little project. After that I was hooked on Gen 2 & 3 autos.
I wish S&W would take the 5906 series and update them and re-release it. Add a rail, optic cut, change the safety to the frame and upgrade the grip. It would sell. A lot of people want hammer fired guns.
I’d love that but they cost a lot more to make. A modern 5906 would be north of $700 and not enough people would buy them. I just wish they continued to stockpile parts for the millions still out there.
@@kbm-zw5jd they would sell. The way the market is going for 2011s and other hammer fired guns like the newer Berettas, CZ shadow 2, and newer high powers from Springfield and FN it’s a good market
I have a S&W 915, a 6904, a 908, 4 aluminum frame Berettas, a Lionheart LH9C, and a CZ 75 (steel frame). I do have a few polymer striker-fired guns that I bought for carry, but they usually stay in the safe. I carry my Lionheart every day because I prefer DA/SA hammer-fired metal guns. That M&P 2.0 looks great, but I'll stick with old school until my aging eyes need a red dot!.
I wish the 5906 was,demontraed, an all steel gun, rather the weaker aluminum 5903. So tired of "polymer "(i.e., plastic) pistols. EVERYTHING seems to be made of plastic! Just seems a bit strange that guns are made of plastic😮😅...when even kids'Tonka toys are STEEL!!😂🫡
I love 3rd Gen Smiths. Very underrated, IMHO, and among the best semi-autos out there. And the unsung heroes of the line are the DAO models. If I could only have one semi-auto pistol, it would be... well... it would be my CZ 82. I've had that thing for nearly 30 years, and I'm taking it with me to my grave. BUT, if I could have two pistols, the other one would be my 4056. It has a fantastic, roughly 6-7lb trigger that's smoother than some of their double action revolvers. I still want to get its bigger brother, the 4046, as well.
You don't have to ask me what school im from!! Out of the 15 pistols i own only one is polymer and it's a S&W EZ-9 when it first came out. In my opinion the modern 1903 internal Colt/FN !! It's the perfect size and weight for everyday carry!! Plus it's very easy to reload the magazine as in my stupid state you can't carry a spare!! And it's internal hammer fired!! Not a big fan of the lastest 2.0 trigger!! Very gritty and mushy!! 🤷
You made me hate myself! I let my 5906 go about two months ago after 35 years. I loved that gun but decided to clean out the safe after adding several M&P 2.0 pistols. Every thing you said about the different features gave me sellers remorse. It went to someone who I hope loves it as much as I did, I put a lot of miles on that gun. It was my partner. I decided it was too heavy for this old guy to carry. Dammit!! I am a S&W fan and do like my Performance Center 2.0, no regrets.
I had an M&P 2.0 for a few months... traded it back in because the trigger felt "crunchy" and "gritty" on the pull. I was not comfortable or confident it wouldn't have a mechanical failure at the wrong time. 😢
Mec-Gar (S&W's subcontractor ) make 20 round magazines for the 59 series pistols. They have kept me out of the 2011 market. Allowing my EDC 5906 to be competitive.
I had a 5903 10 years ago and sold it...regretably. I kept the 1006 and 645 at least. If the metal gun is as reliable and in nice condition i'll take it any day over the plastic even though I have those too.
This metal gun will be nice at the day they throw away the decocker and safety register. If the guy can't uncock the gun by itself it should not have a firearm. Simpler is ever better. And can't belive they do not squared the trigger guard on this 59.
I don’t understand why they stopped making the model 59 it’s the gun that brought them into the modern era and kept them in law enforcement. They could’ve at least do limited runs every few years or so.
Tired of polymer crap glock is the only real polymer wonder why every manufacturer tries to duplicate it is so sad smith started as outside the box now their just follow the leader
I wish that the 5900s series could make a comeback to the market, Colt brought back the Python and the Anaconda, so, i think that Smith & Wesson could bring the 5900s series back.
Just buy an older one. I bought one that was in pristine condition.
These old S&W Semi-Autos are just cool
Yes man, i agree with you, i wish that they could bring them back to the market.
Not just cool their fuckin tanks forsure and eat everything

My 2.0 came with a straight trigger, is optics ready with some nice tall metal sights and has full front slide serrations. ❤
I have a 4006 and a 5904 absolutely love them both, I also like the fact that they're different than the usual combat Tupperware guns
I like my M&P's, I do want to get the M&P Metal.
Carried the 5903 for several years until our dept switched to Sig P226 40’s. Always liked the 5903 and never had any issues with it. Wish I’d bought it when we switched over. Thanks for the video!
The newer stuff works very well but my XL hands like the bigger, heavier frames and hammer-fired triggers quite a bit more.

Awesome guns and cool video thanks for sharing sootch00
Old school all day especially the 10mm
Being 69 I guess i'm old school, I prefer the 5903. But I do like the M&P 2 0.
Prices aren’t inflated on M&P optics ready line easy to find around $500, 400 or less for the slightly older version in the clip here.
I want two so I can be like denzel in training day
💯💯😎😎
Those pistols that he used in the movie were 4506.
king kong didn't have anything on him
My first duty pistol was a S&W 645 I had to carry a cement block on my left side to even out the weight.
I'd take the Gen 3 all day. They need to bring them back.

Does anyone know of a S&W CSX 2.0 or performance center pistol coming out? Thanks

The better comparison would have been sw csx which was actually based on the same gun. Descended from the 6903
I had a 5903 10 years ago and sold it...regretably. I kept the 1006 and 645 at least. If the metal gun is as reliable and in nice condition i'll take it any day over the plastic even though I have those too.
2 grip extensions come with 2.0 compact for 17 round magazines. Not sure if you mentioned, maybe I missed it.
I love my old S&W Model 439 even if it's just 8 shot. The 59 series grip never fit my hand properly.
This metal gun will be nice at the day they throw away the decocker and safety register. If the guy can't uncock the gun by itself it should not have a firearm. Simpler is ever better. And can't belive they do not squared the trigger guard on this 59.
Aluminum is soft metal,very soft. Steel is good.
I’ll stay with “Stay of the art.” 👍👍
I don’t understand why they stopped making the model 59 it’s the gun that brought them into the modern era and kept them in law enforcement. They could’ve at least do limited runs every few years or so.
Got tge 2.0 and absolutely love it. But the 5903 has always been my dream gun.
Tired of polymer crap glock is the only real polymer wonder why every manufacturer tries to duplicate it is so sad smith started as outside the box now their just follow the leader
I have the Smith Wesson model 39 nickel wood grips. An yes it shoots great.
Both are great pistols ❤❤❤
Smith and wesson is fucking up by not bringing these old pistols back
I wish they still made the old model S&W Semi-Autos, but with an aluminum frame.
I have a 4596 I bought more than 25 years ago. Nice shooter.
I have a great appreciation for guns made from the 70s-90s
Uma bela empunhadura,parabéns.
The PPC versions of the S&W 3rd Gens are my grails
