Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson 5906, introduced in 1988, is a full-sized, all-stainless steel pistol designed for durability and reliability. Part of Smith & Wesson’s "3rd Generation" of semi-automatics, the 5906 is a double/single-action (DA/SA) pistol chambered in 9×19mm, offering a staggered-column magazine with either a 10-round or 15-round capacity. This model features several distinctive design elements, including ambidextrous safety levers, a one-piece rear wraparound grip, and a choice between fixed sights or fully adjustable rear sights for windage and elevation. Additionally, the 5906 is equipped with a magazine disconnect feature, which prevents the pistol from firing if the magazine is not properly inserted, enhancing safety. Its stainless steel construction provides a robust, corrosion-resistant frame, which made it a popular choice for law enforcement and military units during its peak.

Its stainless steel construction provides a robust, corrosion-resistant frame, which made it a popular choice for law enforcement and military units during its peak.
While the 5906 was widely adopted by various agencies for its solid performance and classic DA/SA operation, the model has since been superseded by the rise of more modern polymer-framed, striker-fired pistols such as those from Glock, SIG Sauer, and Heckler & Koch, as well as Smith & Wesson’s own M&P line. Despite being largely outpaced by newer technologies, the 5906 remains an iconic example of late 20th-century semi-automatic handgun design, valued for its ruggedness, accuracy, and user-friendly features.
