This Model 3906 is one of the few full-size, single-stack, all-stainless 9mm service pistols of its era. It features a 4 inch barrel, an 8+1 capacity, and a matte stainless slide and frame. Overall length is approximately 7.5 inches, and weight is about 35.5 oz, delivering a solid stainless build made in the United States.
The action is DA/SA with a short-recoil system. Controls include an ambidextrous slide-mounted safety/decocker, a left-side push-button magazine release, and a spurred hammer. Safety features include a magazine disconnect and a firing pin safety. The trigger has a smooth, curved face for consistent control.
Sights are fixed, low-mount three-dot: a fixed front sight with a red dot and a fixed rear with two white dots for a clear, straightforward sight picture. The slide wears vertical rear serrations, and the frame adds frontstrap serrations and an internally beveled magazine well for easier magazine insertion. A squared/hooked trigger guard complements the Third Generation profile.
Ergonomics are enhanced by a one-piece black wrap-around synthetic grip with molded checkering and the S&W logo. Markings include "Mod 3906" on the frame and "9MM PARABELLUM" on the barrel hood, aligning with the model's Third Generation pedigree and period-correct details. This pistol comes with five 8-round magazines and a Smith & Wesson hard plastic case.
