The S&W 5906 has a bifilar charger (stepped), is double – acting and single- acting (DA / SA) of normal size, for the caliber 9 × 19mm. Thus, in the late 1980s, S&W introduced third generation automatic pistols, the most famous example of which was the M1076 FBI 10mm, but its common pistol was the M5906 stainless steel pistol. The M459 (alloy structure), 559 (carbon steel) and 659 (stainless steel) were quite robust, and the grip was very low, making it difficult to quickly recover from recoil over rapid fire. There were still some minor problems, mainly cosmetic and ergonomic. Chargers could be fed with either ammunition-tipped JHP ammunition and fired rapidly without damage, and accuracy was also improved. The company also added a subcompact model, the M469 which performed very well. Known as “3-digit” weapons, these pistols solved the problems of releasing JHP ammunition. As such, S&W returned to the drawing board and in the early 1980s, the M39 and M59 constituted its second generation of production. As a result, law enforcement agencies frequently distributed pistols with pointed ammunition, whose 9×19 ballistic performance was not ideal. The shape of their ramps often prevented this newly introduced ammunition from feeding correctly, causing malfunctions. Neither the ” Model 39 ” nor the later ” Model 59 ” of high capacity, were designed considering hollow – point jacketed bullets (JHP).
SMITH AND WESSON 915 VS 5906 SERIES
The slide maintained the 1911 removable barrel bushing but implemented a series of improvements creating a stronger and simpler operating mechanism than those of the P-38 and Beretta M92, while maintaining good ergonomics. The pistol developed by S&W was called ” Model 39 ” with aluminum alloy body and single-line magazine, with a feed ramp integrated into the barrel, eliminating the M1911’s two-ramp system. The Smith & Wesson built prototypes in the late 1950 and the early 1960, after the military gave up the 9 mm due to the large remaining stock of pistols M1911 produced during World War II in. Īfter World War II, the US military proposed service on the 9x19mm caliber, and double action, and although they were aware of the German Walther P38, they preferred the simpler and more typical Browning design with a sliding overlapping barrel and slide. The S&W 5906 is considered the latest and definitive version of the Smith & Wesson M59. The Smith & Wesson Model 5906 (or simply S&W 5906 ) is a semi-automatic pistol introduced by Smith & Wesson in 1989.
