Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Manufactured between 1990 and 1999, the Smith & Wesson Model 6946 belongs to S&W's acclaimed 3rd Generation series of metal-framed handguns. Designed specifically as a compact, double-stack 9mm law enforcement sidearm, the 6946 combines the high-capacity, shortened grip frame of the Model 6906 with S&W's smooth Double-Action-Only (DAO) trigger system. Featuring a bobbed hammer flush w/ the slide, a clean frame contour free of external manual safety levers, and lightweight aluminum alloy construction, the 6946 provided plainclothes officers and concealed carry holders w/ a snag-free, instinctual "draw-and-fire" defensive sidearm.
This specific example is an authentic Springfield, Massachusetts manufactured Smith & Wesson Model 6946 bearing serial number VYJ6751. Chambered in popular 9x19mm Parabellum, it features a 3.5-inch stainless barrel, factory matte black Melonite slide and anodized frame finish, 3-dot combat sights, smooth DAO bobbed hammer action, and factory one-piece black checkered polymer grips. Displaying clean black metal surfaces w/ light edge-wear character, a mirror-bright bore w/ sharp rifling, and crisp DAO lockup, this Model 6946 comes complete w/ 3 factory double-stack 12-round 9mm magazines w/ finger rest extension. A turn-key 3rd Gen S&W compact defensive pistol ready for concealed carry, law enforcement collection, or range recreation.
