The Smith & Wesson 5906 is a line of semi-automatic pistols produced by Smith & Wesson (often shortened to S&W).
History[]
Smith & Wesson began production of the 5906 in 1989 and continued until 1999. In that time many variants were produced, most notably the 5946. It is distinguished from other models by its lack of decocker levers, the back of the slide is longer, and a matching frame. The 5946 is often used by Law Enforcement agencies, such as The New York City Police Department, which issues the 5946 along with the Glock 19 and the SIG Sauer P226 as a standard weapon.
