The Model 6906 is a compact, metal-frame, Third-Generation S&W pistol chambered in 9mm Luger, built in the USA. This configuration was produced from 1989 through 1999 and is known for its double-stack capacity in a carryable footprint.
Construction features include a stainless slide over a natural/satin aluminum-alloy frame, a rounded trigger guard, and a smooth curved trigger. The pistol uses a DA/SA, recoil-operated system with a spurless (bobbed) hammer and a left-side magazine release.
Controls and slide details are set up for practical handling: ambidextrous slide-mounted safety/decocker levers, rear vertical cocking serrations, an external pivoting extractor, and a lowered/flared ejection port. Fixed, low-mount 3-dot sights (single-dot front, two-dot rear) provide a straightforward sight picture.
Ergonomics are enhanced by a one-piece wraparound black rubber grip with finger grooves and S&W medallions. The compact 3.5-inch barrel and 12+1 capacity make it a well-balanced package that saw common law-enforcement use in the 1990s.
