The SMITH & WESSON 4006 is a nostalgic carry option for shooters who value metal construction, classic controls, and a duty-style presence at the range or for personal defense. Its blend of all-metal build and traditional double-action/single-action operation appeals to collectors and practical shooters alike.

SMITH & WESSON 4006

Key features and what they mean in the real world

The listing notes a DA/SA trigger with an exposed hammer, a metal frame, and an 11rd magazine. The DA/SA trigger gives a heavier first pull for safe carry and a lighter, more precise single-action follow-up — a practical configuration for shooters who train for both deliberate shots and immediate follow-up work. The exposed hammer makes administrative manipulation and dry-fire practice intuitive.

Metal-frame pistols like this one offer reduced felt recoil and a solid sighting platform compared to polymer counterparts, which many shooters prefer for .40 S&W loads. This example does show holster wear on the frame and slide, which is consistent with service use and typically doesn’t affect functionality when properly inspected.

Caliber and application

The model is chambered in 40S&W, a cartridge that balances capacity, terminal performance, and controllability. .40 S&W is well-suited for defensive loadings and offers versatility for range work. With an 11-round magazine, this pistol provides a reasonable duty-capacity footprint in an all-metal platform.

Handling, maintenance, and value

Collectors and shooters should inspect the slide/frame fit and the action for smooth DA pulls and crisp single-action resets. Metal pistols require routine cleaning and attention to wear surfaces; holster wear on the shown example is cosmetic but worth noting for long-term preservation. At a listed price of $449.99, this is positioned as a rare find for shooters who want classic controls without a new-production premium.
