thank you for reviewing such a great OLD SCHOOL AMERICAN pistol... in my opinion these were the GREATEST handguns ever created.. i have a 5906 that ive been edc since 1996.. i have everything from polymer to stainless steel.. but the 5906 is to me the GREATEST EVER! thank you sootch you're an awesome AMERICAN PATRIOT!
Thanks Brother! If CA doesn't want them, we'll take 'em! Lol!
NEVER OBEY have a 5904 sw 9mm the darn thing never lets me down like you said a great American pistol!
NEVER OBEY I
I agree that the 5906 may be the most iconic 3rd gen smith. I've become a fan of these forgotten gems as of recently.
NEVER OBEY it is a great piece but in my opinion I have to say the model 1006 is my favorite.
As a retired California Highway Patrol officer, I loved that weapon. It replaced the Smith & Wesson 38 plus P. Thanks for a great review.
Smith & Wesson + STEEL! Those pistols were built TOUGH! I remember them well. Thanks for the vid.
Thanks Brother! It's a Beast : )
I am a proud owner of a fantastic 4006 TSW! What a pistol. Great American design and really like the Heritage of being a CHP trade in. One firearm i will never part with and it will be a great pistol to pass down through my family. Thank you Smith & Wesson for this amazing design and thank you Sootch for another great review!!!
I am one of those guys that would love to see a reproduction run of these old Smith and Wesson pistols.
Put me on the list : ) Thanks John!
John Pagdilao ditto I think there is a market.
I think so too as long as the prices aren't too bad. Look at what Troy industries is doing with it's reproduction AR's. Maybe S&W can donate to some of the proceeds to charity.
They will probably never re produce these, I heard they no longer have have their older experienced staff to work on these any longer which is why they aren't under warranty any longer.
I'm the same way. I also wish Ruger would bring back the P series. Screw all the polymer guns these days.
Awesome video Sootch! I'm an officer with the CHP and have been carrying the 4006 since 1999. The first generation until 2007, then the 4006TSW since. Thursday I go through the class to get the new issue pistol, the M&P 40. It'll be my last day with the old warhorse 4006. Be safe brother!
Thanks for your Service Gregg! Be safe out there Brother!
Officer Gregg Do you like the M&P 40 ?
Did they give you the option to buy your previous service pistol?
@@Floridaman1780_
Yes. I bought both of my 4006 pistols to hand down to my two daughters.
Wow. CHP went to the M&P 40? Great gun. Please stay safe and enjoy a long retirement. I had many friends in CHP in Sacramento. Wonder people. So much to learn from them. God Bless CHP and all of it's officers and staff.
man I need one of these in my life
Tim's your huckleberry.
John Capozzi he ain't no daisy, neither
Very nice looking gun, for sure.
You need... definitely.
Mrgunsngear Channel My thoughts exactly! Love the channel by the way but hate the 9ers lol
Man I miss all steel guns. Wish S&W would bring them back on a limited run.😔
I was lucky enough to get one of the 4006TSW CHP for $350, great shooter, tames the 40 very well. Wish they would bring back the Gen 3's, nothing like an old, stainless steel S&W
Great review! I just bought this exact model from an individual yesterday. He showed it to me several months ago along with a SIG P229 40, and a S&W 5906 which I traded a stainless Ruger Speed Six (sans warning stamp on the barrel) for at the time. I was really torn between the 4006 and 5906 and felt like I should've gotten the 4006 instead, so I called the guy back and he said he’d hold it for me. I watched this review as well as one on Military Arms Channel countless times and decided that I had to have it. It is a BEAST! Fortunately we have open carry in Texas so it’s no big deal if it shows or prints, but weighing 40 ounces it doesn’t take much to become an unwilling sagger if your belt isn’t tight. Well, thanks for the great review, it really helped me make a good decision. Thumbs way up!
I carried one until I retired last year. I was able to purchase my duty weapon when I retired. Due to California's gun laws, I was sold the weapon without magazines because the department was not allowed to sell 11 round magazines.
Excellent video! Brought back many memories.
These old S&W guns are awesome shooters! They make me feel like I'm a great shooter!! You just smile with each shot!!!!
Un-freaking-believable that I, as a Californian, cannot own this weapon...
Dan Segovia seriously.
I agree... it's a sad situation my friend.
How long are the California gun owners gonna put up with it?
Oh, it's believable alright.
Dan Segovia-Yeah and it's still in the beginning phase. Ca will continue pushing forth more and more anti gun laws. Too much voter clout from northern and southern Ca. I'm moving
You convinced me I bought one from Copper Custom, absolutely love it. Thanks for the great review.
I love the S&W 3 gen pistols, I carried a 6906 for 10 years as a LEO. I still have my 6906 and I just recently purchased the 5906 and the 4006 TSW.
I bought a 6906 3 months ago and tonight I just ordered this one.!
The law enforcement agency I retired from has never issued firearms probably because of a cost issue. Now, they require officers to purchase from an approved list in .40 and .45 ACP.
For the final 13 years of my career I carried a S&W Model 411 with the eleven round magazines in .40 S&W of the value line. I have never had a failure to feed to failure to eject since purchasing the handgun in August of 1995. The third generation S&W handguns are some of the finest handguns Smith and Wesson ever made.
I have watched this so many times and it just doesn’t get old! Love it.
Great American firearm. Thank you for the review and support for us in California.
Thank you! from all of us that live in California.its good to know that some gun owners support us!
Thanks Emmanuel! Keep fighting the good fight!
Hands down one of my favorite pistols. I really wish I had bought one back in the day when I had the chance.
That sample is in great condition. Need to find one like that myself. Great review - thank you.
Excellent review, ordered mine yesterday from Copper Custom. Not a fan of 40 but these guns just look awesome.
Just picked up one, a retired CHP gun. Looking forward to playing with it.
Great review Sootch , I'm a huge fan of the old 80's S&W autos , I just picked up a really clean well taken care of 5906 here in my state Indiana from my local gun store "Elmore's" and yes it's heavy but built like a tank and shoots extremely well the double action trigger pull is very smooth , love it I'd like to find one of those CHP models thanks for sharing 👍🏻🇺🇸✌🏻!
Sootch thanks for the review on that pistol. I have a TSW 4013 and that was my carry pistol for many years. I may have to look into one of these. I love the fact it's an all steel frame. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Brother! I appreciate the kind words.
I just love these 3rd gen Smiths. They are so iconic.
I miss when Smith and Wesson made steel autoloaders (not including the SW1911). To me they're one of the best looking guns of all time. I'd say they ought to start making them again in 9mm, .40, and .45.
Love this pistol. Thanks for everything you do, Don!
Thanks Justin!
Sootch you're the man. I just ordered one of these from Copper Custom (currently on back order?) and would have never known about these if you wouldn't have made this informative video. I was up until 6.5 years ago a lifelong Californian (for almost 5 decades.. I almost have the safes full which has greatly aided in getting over the trauma! LOL) so I needed one of these big time. Thank you Bud.
Thanks Steve, I guess you couldn't take the dark side any longer : ) California is one of my favorite places in the world... too bad it's going crazy.
I liked the review so much I when to Cropper Custom and ordered one. They are on back order (2-3 weeks) I only hope mine looks as good as the one in your review. Great review.
As a patrolman, I carried a 5906 for most of my career until we got a new chief. He decided that the department would switch to Glock 17. I missed my 5906..
Just picked one of these up after watching your video.
Thanks
The blooper reel is pretty funny..
Well executed review Also for 5906. Seen it many times over. Grest old school pistol. Hoped to own one. Good job.
My first pistol purchase was an Az sheriffs dept 4006 back in 1994, Loved that gun. This vid brings me back. Thanks
Thanks Scott!
Another great review, two thumbs up. Now I want one...... Thanks Sootch00
Thanks Marco!
Way to "put your money where your mouth is" Tim and Copper Custom Armament. You're a class act!
Semper Fi, Brother, TreeTop
Tim is a top notch guy!
My father has two 4006's (non-tactical, so they don't have the rail) he bought back when he retired from the Alaska State Troopers. They are wonderful shooting pistols and I love them. The only thing I would change, given the opportunity, is the magazine disconnect.
Ordered one tonight Feb. 16, 2020 after watching Copper Custom & your video.
The gun that the detective used in Collateral. Great movie btw. Thanks for the video Sootch00.
Thanks Brother!
Another great review Sootch00, Thank You and long live the Republic.
Thanks Jerry!
Saw one of these a week or so ago and should have gotten one then. Looks like a cool pistol to have if only for collecting. Great video as usual brother, have a great week!
Thanks Brother! You too!
Excellent gun! Trading it in for the M&P I was one of the few that preferred the old 4006. Just an all around great gun with very little issues. I bought mine back from the state and I am so happy I did. I graduated in 2007 with it and carried it until about 2017. I’ll buy the M&P back as well but the 4006 is the fun I wish we still carried. Sounds like we are going to 9mm at some point as well. Great review, thank you for posting!
Thanks Sootch. I ordered one from Copper Custom. They are back ordered at the moment. I didn't know I needed this pistol until I saw this video. : )
Lol! I with you brother! Thanks
I ran across one paid a good price for it wow been looking for one for a while I'm keeping it it's a collectors item clean it up I'll be good
Love that pistol! One of the best ever made!
What a gorgeous firearm!
Awesome find Sootch, more of these please!
Thanks Mozz! I get them when I can find them : )
very cool of copper custom to donate to the fight in CA. moving back to CA (trust me I really don't want to but it can't be avoided) and anything helps. I was even donating to gun groups when I lived outside the state.
Great score on that gun. Very good overview on it as well. Thanks for going "Old School" ;)
Thank you Tim, And Sootch, From Northern California.
Thanks Brother! Keep fighting the good fight!
Great to see one of my favourite pistols being reviewed on this channel. Assuming the supply doesn't dry up, I'm going over to Copper to order one of these next paycheck. I have a 4006 already, but it has a slight crack in the frame. Gotta get me a new one! ;)
Thanks Brother and good luck!
Where on the frame is the crack? How many rounds through the 4006?
Nice review sootch
I wish they bring back model 5906 in production
And wish you bring the long mustache back 😁👍🏻
Great video. Love these guns!! Had 5906 I should have never got rid of. Just picked up a Beretta 92f love that all steel feeling gun. But a bear to carry.
Great video, Sootch. I have always wanted a third gen Smith. Nice to see one getting some attention.
Thanks Brother!
Really love the video keep up good work
Awesome view, purchasing one of these collectible pistols today. I love these heavier pistols.
I've always wanted a third gen S&W and later watching your video I thought screw it, so I placed a order at Copper Customs for one.
Thx for the review Sootch00!
Thanks Gregory!
Big props for donating the $15 a gun to the Cali cause. Dianne Feinstein appreciates it
Jeffrey Appel it's gonna pay for her next facelift! LOL
fuck commiefornia
Thanks for supporting us here behind enemy lines. You guys that live in free America don't realize how good you have it. Don't take it for granted.
We've got your back brother! Fight the Good Fight!
Got a 5906, amazing previous owner sold it to me pristine, with barely used 9 (nine!) mags.
Also a 4506, which I chose to buy a new barrel for, because previous owner wasn't so amazing and honestly don't know what he tried to do by sawing off some material from the lug area.
Got a 1006 this Christmas, two mags, had barely been fired, another jewel.
Been looking for years for a 4006 to no avail, and oh, look, I open up YT aaaaand... ta daaa... _you reaalllly, reallly_ know where to stick your finger, YT algorithm, don't cha? haha!!
Loved the video anyway, thanks a lot mate. :-) Happy New Year!
Thanks Sootch really cool old school gun! I want one!
Thank you sootch00!
Don, I sold a lot of the smiths 3rd gen pistols "back in the day" working at firearms unlimited- a small gun store i worked for(back in the 90's). I always liked the design of the 3rd gens smith pistols . And yes my local PD went back to the 9mm after the 40 S&W they carried for years. I watched Tim's revue also (he hates 40 LOL). and........... the out takes as always love it !LOL dang tongue tied !!!! keep up the good work brother!
I placed an order for this with Copper Custom this morning. I can't wait for it to arrive at my FFL next week. It would arrive sooner, but I also ordered one of their custom kydex holsters to go with the 4006.
That thing's a trade in?? Every part except the controls looks brand new! Nice!
Thank you very much to think on us the rest of the brothers in all free states than you again for all that support
We're all Americans and for some reason CA has forgotten.... we need to take it back. Thanks Brother!
Great video. I love the classic looking S&W semi autos.
Thanks Travis!
Love this gun, ! Great vid!
Good review and I'm delighted to see you allow your empty magazines drop on the ground so you are not learning bad tactics.
Thanks for watching Howard!
Your Review made me go out and get one of the CHP 4006 TSW Pistols and I was able to get a very nice sample that had a few little stratches on the frame and slide to make it a 93-95% pistol on the outside but the inside was 100% if the pistol had 400-500rds thru her that was it! Mine came with SW Hogue Rubber grips that were a bit worn in but I got some new ones minus the SW logo on them and I swapped out the Novak sights for some Trijicon Night SIghts, I have about 200 rds thru her now and once I get another 150 of JHPs I will be adding it to my CCW armory so I may start carrying it. I have not found a holster for it but I found that the Sig P226 and P229 holsters work well enough I am still trying to find some custom leather for mine as well as some brand new factory Magazines. I purchased 12 used mags but if I am going to carry the pistol I want BNIB Magazines I usually get 4-6 for my JHPs carry load.
The Main Reason that many Law Enforcement Agencies are switching to 9mm is that 40sw does to good of a Job is Killing the People that Police Officers Shoot at and its costing too much money the Jurisdictions settle the Lawsuits that come from the wrongful death claims from the family members of the perpetrator not that 9mm loads have gotten so much better. By every specification that counts the Terminal ballistics 40SW is a MUCH better ManStopper than 9mm as well as 45acp.
Another great video Mr. Sootch. Good one on yah.
Thanks Brother!
Just placed an order since they are back in stock at copper. I can't wait!
AHHHHHH! I hate you Sootch! I saw these for sale last week on the site because someone pointed me that way and they were sold out! I've been trying like hell to find a good 4006 or 5906 that isn't priced stupid high. Lucky find man, and for a PD trade in it looks great, hope you keep it.
Awesome. that would be my .40 pistol of choice, thanks for letting me discover ! must be hard to find though..
Sootch is the man
I agree with many others I love these Smitty's especially my older 5904.
YEAA man now we are talking, S&W just can not go wrong with that, I carry the S&W 4006 since 91 still today but not the TSW. Great review at least for me. Keep Up the good Work!
Thanks Sal! Hard not to like these guns.
Beautiful old guns. I have a 4506 that is older and it came with wood grips. Heavy but a very pleasurable range shooter.
i haven't had a chance to fire mine yet. i got it just before the back-order began! it is... for lack of a better word; cherry. i don't even think mine had more than 100 rounds put through it. i can't even find holster wear / tear. so excited! steal of a price! thanks for doing this video to tide me over until i can get out to the range this weekend
I had that gun back in the day. It's a good gun. My rear sight adjustment screw broke off during firing and hit me in the face hard but S&W fixed that problem. So just a little reminder to wear your eye protection.
I have the 5906, and 1076, and 1006. Would love to add this one to the collection!
Thanks you for review
Love your videos sootch, you're one of my favorites
Thanks Levi!
sootch00, can we assume you'll review a 4rd gen smith in 45 next? Or maybe one of the 10mm versions?
Meant to write 3rd gen SMITH, not 4rd
These are nice. I have my Dads 5906 police issue. Given to him when he retired in 1996.
CHP started issuing the 4006 .40 in 1991 and had them pretty much standard issue by the 1992 L.A riots. They carried the 4006 from 1991-2006 and went to the TSW in 2006 and still carry them in 2017 but an M&P .40 switch is imminent.
The E# is not the serial, that is the CHPs weapon identifier (it is also on the slide and the barrel so they are kept together). The serial is the one on stamped on the frame from the factory beginning with CHP
Now THAT is a nice firearm.
Old school! I was issued a 5906 back in 94, then a 4506 when I got on SWAT. CHP still carries this relic, but I saw one of their guys carrying a M&P last month.
Amazing video. Very good info.
I was just looking at those when I was at the copper customs website last week but couldn't make up my mind on getting one or not thanks for review I think you just made my wallet a little lighter lol
Happy to help : )
Very clear. Thanks a lot
love my 5903 and 659.wish smith never stopped making them.
Sir, awesome video. Thank you very much. I want to point out the CHP is currently transitioning away from this pistol but is still very much in service. There are still many officers throughout the state using the TSW that have not transitioned to the new pistol. I’m not sure where you got the year 2009. Maybe, I’m completely speculating, that was the year the Department stopped buying them but they were still issued well into the current decade. I was at an academy graduation in 2015 and they were still being issued new. Again, thanks for a great video.
These old big frame steel S&W autos are freaking awesome. I have a 4506 and 4586 and they shoot awesome! Polymer frames are great, but nothing feels as good in the hand as big honking real gun!
I have the 4043 great gun! Having trouble finding sights and mags but great gun!
Another great one like always brother thanks
..Man I love the tsw's I had a 5906 wish I would have never let it go...I would love to find a pd trade in like that! These guns are built like tanks I bet the steel frame helps the .40 to snap alot though...thank again for another great video brother...take it easy
Thanks Greg! I always regret trading off a good gun.... good luck Brother!
Great review thank you!
Thanks Rachel!
Thanks for doing this review on the S&W. My dad owned one and now I have it and it scares the crap outta me everytime I shoot. The recoil feels like the vibration from an aluminum baseball bat! From what you said in the video, he has the black piece screwed into the bottom of the rail. So I guess its an original. But the serial isn't CHP. Its VJB, I don't know what that means. Also I can only load 10 rounds and he had 2 magazines. Im still learning how to use this gun and im glad I found your video. Again, it scares the shit outta me.
Slade Washington it's a very cool pistol it does got some fire power I have the 1006 Smith and wesson 10mm the daddy of the 4006
I'm definitely in the market for one of these
