My personal S&W 5906 was an unspecified LE trade in, nabbed from Gunprime for a reasonable $330.
The adjustable sights are less likely to be seen on trade-in examples due in part to higher cost, but principally due to being less “holster friendly” than the low profile Novak style.

Sights on these are also very distinctive with the two major types being Novak style snag free type and the very sexy adjustable rear sight with protective wings. While its near universally accepted that one shouldn’t go through the trouble of replacing the MIM parts with forged, a well polished and broken-in forged variant would be the one I’d look for, if practicable. This could lead to a rougher trigger pull. Some argue that the forged parts, while inherently more durable, tend not to be finished as cleanly as the MIM parts would be. Pages of S&W forum posts have been dedicated to debating the merits of forged vs MIM parts. MIM sears are always paired with a MIM hammer, but in case you ever need to replace one and need to differentiate from a forged part, a MIM sear will actually have “Use only M hammer” molded into it. It can be tough to tell the difference between the latter two, but the MIM variants have a few dead giveaways: The lightening cuts on the hammer, and a line on the trigger where the mold halves were fused together. VariationsĪpproximately midway through production, the fire control parts (hammer, trigger, sear) went from a forged stainless finish to forged blued, and then briefly to MIM with a blackened finish. I can’t think of many guns that have stayed this consistently low a price for that amount of time. What’s significant, is that after doing a bit of topical research in checking forum posts from the early 2000’s to now, $350 has essentially remained the price you can pick one of these up for. When these used police guns started to show up on the market, they were as cheap as $250, but usually capped out around $350 at the highest. These guns were prolific among both large departments like the NYPD and LAPD, as well as smaller sheriff’s departments across the country.

A descendant of the also under-appreciated 59 and 459, the four digit 5900 series, was Smith’s full size 9mm platform for their metal framed third generation guns. A.Manufactured in Springfield, MA from ’89-’99, the S&W 5906 is a quintessential example of American firearm design which perfectly reflected the period in that it was introduced.Mason Leposky on Hi point 380 with Extendo.

I did call the PC about this that they explained it was due to twist rate of my 952 that preferred higher velocity ammo! Does PPC 5906 have the same barrel twist rate? I have tried Winchester 147 jhp subsonic like the ones in your video and unfortunately my grouping was not as good as either 124s or 115s, and the shots on target impact/location change significantly. Website: Contact: Smith & Wesson (S&W)! In 2007 upon retiring (LEO) I ordered a PPC 5906 from S&W, they were unable to fill order due to production limitations, instead I got a Model 952 essentially the same gun but in single stack version, beautiful gun with actually a better grip then PPC in my opinion? Extremely accurate, I’ve shot mainly CCI+124gr jhp Gold Dots, a friend of mine gave me a case of Federal +115 gr jhp I was concerned about running them through my 952! I called the S&W Performance Center (PC) they told me that what it was meant to shoot the 115 were great even better than 124, only slight elevation change on the rear sight.

I thank my friend, retired police officer Mike Z, for loaning me this gun for this review.ġ) All shooting was done by a trained professional on a dedicated shooting range Ģ) The firearm is totally stock – it is not a “previously modified” firearm ģ) This video is not an attempt to sell, or offer for sale, any firearm, accessory or ammunition Ĥ) All YouTube Community Standards and Guidelines have been followed to the letter ĥ) The link to the website below is to my personal website and I do not sell firearms, accessories or ammunition. This gun definitely can shoot better than I can. It was made in 5″ and 6″ barrel lengths and, with the right ammunition and in skilled hands, it was capable of consistently hitting the “X” ring on a B-27 target at 50 yards.
The S&W Model 5906 PPC gun was made for a short time to compete in PPC (Police Pistol Combat, also known as Precision Pistol Competition) and was only sold to law enforcement officers who were PPC competitors. S&W 5906 PPC 6" 9mm – A rare but GREAT shooting gun.
