Built on a stainless steel frame and slide, the Model 5906 in matte stainless delivers the robust Third Generation construction associated with this series. It is chambered in 9mm Luger with a 4-inch barrel and full-size dimensions for duty-style handling.
The DA/SA action is paired with an ambidextrous slide-mounted safety/decocker. Red index dots on the levers provide clear visual status. A spurred hammer and rounded trigger guard reflect the model’s period-correct configuration.
Controls and slide details include rear-only cocking serrations and the ambidextrous decocker/safety. The pistol uses a magazine disconnect safety, consistent with the 5906 design language of its era.
Sighting is via fixed, low-mount 3-dot irons, with a one-dot front and two-dot rear. The one-piece wraparound textured synthetic grip carries the S&W medallion for a secure, familiar hold.
Markings include “Mod 5906” on the frame and “9 MM PARABELLUM” on the barrel hood. Produced in the United States and associated with 1990s service use, this configuration aligns with the widely issued law-enforcement sidearms of that time. Capacity is 15+1, and this example includes one 15-round steel double-stack magazine.
