Unboxing Some Smith & Wesson Police Trade-In Workhorses

After well over a century of service with law enforcement across the United States, Smith & Wesson firearms are easy to find among police trade-ins. Recently, it feels like the secondhand law enforcement market has been dominated by Glocks, SIG Sauers, and the Smith & Wesson M&P series.
It is refreshing to see a diverse set of vintage S&W handguns that all draw a common lineage all the way back to the Model 39. All models feature a double/single-action trigger, a safety/de-cocker, and a double-stack magazine design.

Smith & Wesson really needs to bring these back.

Two departments I was with issued S&W 469, and 4506, and 645's. Great pistols!

The S&W 10 mm's (1006 etc.) in stainless are the Cadillac of pistols!

The 2nd gun I bought for my wife, decades ago, was a 3913. Still one of her favorite guns today. Was the best CC gun of the 90s. It was all stainless forerunner to the Shield.

Full size 4000 series held 11 rounds in non-restricted factory mags, not 13. Nice video bringing attention to these excellent firearms on the used market!

These things are underrated. I think people are waking up to how great they are. If you're tired of polymer striker fired handguns then get one of these before the hipsters find out about them

The mullet seems appropriate for the vintage of firearms featured.

Is this the guy that played the "Dealer" from that 3rd episode of Miami Vice?

@jasonroberts9357 10 ай бұрын

I believe so. He's also a vampire, which would explain why he hasn't aged much. Good catch brother!

If you had to choose between the 469 or the 6904 what’s your pick?

@parrisgeorge8620 Ай бұрын

I would always go with the 3rd generation pistol. All the little kinks were worked out.

You left out allot of important information like the SW645 and later 4506 were used as the bases that launched the 5906/4000 series of pistols and when the FBI needed a REPLACEMENT for the 9mm 5906 that performed so poorly in the 1986 FBI Miami Shootout the Feds wanted something with more power with was the 10mm Auto and Smith and Wesson answered the call with the 1076 a decoking 10mm Auto with a frame mounted Decocker similar to the SIG P220/226 series of pistols. Because of the Recoil of the 10mm Auto from the 4.25 inch barrel the FBI came up with a NEW LOAD that was a 180gr JHP Projectile flying at 1000 FPS and so people would not get the rounds confused the FBI asked Winchester to load the new 10mm Lite Load into a shorter casing and the 40SW was born along with the Smith and Wesson 4000 Series of pistols but Glock was able to BEAT Smith and Wesson to the market with the NEW Glock 22 40SW two weeks before the SW4006 was available for sale. The 5900/4000 series of pistols benefited from the the Lessons Learned from the 10mm Auto 1006 and 1066/1076 series by making the Frame HEAVIER and STRONGER than the Previous 39 and 59 9mm pistols and more inline with the SW645 which was built like a TANK and a Commercial Success with both Civilians and LEOs for only having a three year production period and being replaced by the 4506 and later the 4506-1 45ACP which was Heavy enough to handle the HOTTEST 10mm Auto loads. The 4006 Full Size magazine holds 11 rounds not 13! The TRUE SW4006TSW Police Trade in pistols have Rails that are milled out onto the FRAME not bolted onto them like the CHP pistol. Even the HOTTEST 40SW round fired from an ALL STEEL SW4006 the RECOIL is NOT that NOTICIBLE but if you shoot the Aluminum Frame SW4000 Series Pistols the recoil can be noticed but is its not BAD at all! It would be nice if the people making videos like this actually knew about the weapons they are talking about and know the differences from Personal Experience and not from a Script that someone else wrote! I am a Smith and Wesson 3rd Gen All Steel Semi Auto Pistol Collector and I can tell you the differences and although my collection is not the biggest because I currently only own a SW645, SW CHP4006TSW, West Virginia Public Safety Commission 4566TSW (1/87 pistols made in 2013), 4506-1 Police Trade in LEO Agency Contract Pistol NO MIM parts and my latest addition a Performance Center Lew Horton Exclusive 4006 with Bar-Sto Barrel and Carry Compensator better known as the .40SW COMP from 1991 that is a DREAM Pistol!
