Product Description

    Smith & Wesson Model 5906 9mm, Third Generation, Stainless DA/SA, 4" Barrel, 15+1 (c. 1993–1995)

    The Smith & Wesson Model 5906 is a full-size, all-stainless Third Generation 9mm with a 4" barrel and 15+1 capacity. This example features the hallmark DA/SA system with ambidextrous slide-mounted safety/decocker, factory sights, and a durable matte stainless finish. Produced in the early–mid 1990s (approximately 1993–1995) and marked "MADE IN U.S.A. SMITH & WESSON SPRINGFIELD, MASS.," it represents the classic non-TSW configuration widely issued to U.S. law enforcement in the early–mid 1990s.

    What’s Included
    • 1x Smith & Wesson factory 15-round 9mm double-column steel magazine (S&W logo marked)

    Constructed with a stainless steel frame and slide in matte stainless, the Model 5906 delivers the robust Third Generation build known for duty service. Its short-recoil, tilting-barrel, locked-breech system is paired with an external extractor and a lowered ejection port.

    The DA/SA action includes an ambidextrous slide-mounted safety/decocker, a firing pin block, and a magazine disconnect safety. Controls include a left-side push-button magazine release and an exposed spur hammer. The one-piece wraparound textured synthetic grip with S&W medallion provides a secure interface.

    Sight alignment is straightforward with a factory sight setup: a ramped front blade and a factory rear sight. Capacity is 15+1, and this pistol includes one factory 15-round S&W magazine.

    This non-TSW, full-size configuration features a full-length dust cover with no accessory rail, a slightly beveled magazine well for easier reloads, and a rounded trigger guard. Marked "MADE IN U.S.A. SMITH & WESSON SPRINGFIELD, MASS.," it reflects production within the early–mid 1990s window (c. 1993–1995) and the lineage widely adopted by U.S. law enforcement in the early–mid 1990s.
