Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Performance Center Model 4006 Tactical Forty, often referred to as the Lew Horton Special Model Tactical 40, is a scarce and highly regarded example of early Performance Center semi-automatic pistols. According to the Smith & Wesson Standard Catalog, 4th Edition, this model was produced in 1991 in a limited run of just 207 pistols, bearing serial numbers in the range PCD0001 through PCD0206. Built on the stainless-steel 4006 platform and chambered in the then-new .40 S&W cartridge, the Tactical Forty was designed to showcase enhanced accuracy, durability, and combat-oriented features at a time when law enforcement agencies were rapidly adopting the .40 S&W caliber.

This example, serial number PCD0099, features a 5½-inch barrel that improves ballistic performance and sight radius, paired with Novak white-dot sights for fast target acquisition. Typical of Performance Center work, the pistol exhibits careful fitting, refined internal components, and a focus on reliability under hard use. Checkered synthetic grips provide a secure hold, while the stainless finish offers both corrosion resistance and a distinctive appearance. Today, the Model 4006 Tactical Forty is especially desirable among collectors due to its limited production, early Performance Center provenance, and its place in the evolution of Smith & Wesson’s .40-caliber service pistols.
