Our S&W 4006 Microstamping Test Vehicle - Hits ~3200 Rounds & Counting



As of December 18th, 2007 the Microstamping S&W 4006 Test Vehicle has hit the ~3200 round mark. In late November the S&W 4006 was handed to the armorer at the Providence Police departmet for a live fire demonstration of microstamping. S&W truely manufacturers a remarkable firearm. The S&W 4006 was the side arm of the CHP in California, but was replaced by a newer S&W model. Oue S&W 4006 shows considerable dynamic stability even when fired in rapid succession. We beleive this stability is based on the quality of the workmanship and the particular mechanism design of S&W semiautomatic pistols. We should hit ~5000 rounds by mid/late 2008. We have a number of firearms being tested and currently our focus is on rim fire .22 cal pistols.
