Part of Smith & Wesson's Third-Generation metal-frame pistol line, the Model 4006 represents one of the first production pistols purpose-built for the then-new .40 S&W cartridge in the early 1990s. This lineage is known for robust construction and law-enforcement service history, including use by the California Highway Patrol.
The pistol is full-size, recoil-operated, and DA/SA, with an ambidextrous slide-mounted safety/decocker and an external spurred hammer. Controls and ergonomics reflect its duty focus and Third-Generation design.
Its stainless steel frame and slide provide durability and a uniform stainless finish. The slide has rear serrations with no front serrations. The one-piece wraparound black synthetic grip with S&W medallion offers a secure, service-ready hold.
Sighting is via fixed 3-dot sights in low-mount configuration, with a dovetailed rear unit.
Made in the USA, this Model 4006 is identified by S&W part number 104402 and includes its factory box and owner's manual, adding completeness for owners who value original packaging and documentation.
