For shooters and collectors who value rugged, service-proven designs, classic DA/SA semi-autos remain a practical choice for personal security and range use. A metal-frame pistol with an exposed hammer and traditional controls provides predictable ergonomics and long-term durability in daily carry or home defense roles.

Design & Key Features

The SMITH & WESSON 4006 is a rare find chambered in 40S&W. Its metal frame construction and exposed hammer reflect an era of service pistols optimized for longevity and controllability. The DA/SA trigger system gives a longer, heavier first pull followed by a lighter, consistent single-action shot — a configuration many professionals and experienced owners prefer for carry reliability and rapid follow-up shots.

Notable specifications

From the description: an 11-round magazine capacity, visible holster wear on the frame and slide, and classic S&W fit and finish. The Semi Auto category design makes it straightforward to maintain, while the metal frame helps manage recoil compared with lighter polymer frames.

Caliber Considerations: 40S&W

The 40S&W offers a balance between stopping power and controllable recoil. It was developed as a law-enforcement cartridge to deliver more terminal performance than 9mm while keeping magazine capacity reasonable — here, 11 rounds in the standard magazine. For defensive use it remains effective, and for range work it provides a stiff, informative recoil impulse that aids in training.
