Overall Condition: This handgun retains about 93% of its metal finish. The surfaces show scuff and light scrape marks with a few areas of edge wear, looking to have been caused by holster wear; being a stainless steel pistol, most of the marks can probably be removed with some TLC. The underside of the frame and trigger guard is slightly brighter than the other surfaces. The screw heads have faint tooling but are highly serviceable. The markings are crisp. Overall, this handgun rates in about Fine Plus to Excellent condition.
Mechanics: The action functions correctly. This pistol has a smooth double action trigger pull and just a small amount of creep, before a crisp break in single action. The slide has mild play to the frame. The ambidextrous slide safety doubles as a decocker and the item has a magazine disconnect safety. We did not fire this handgun. As with all used firearms, a thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance standards.
Box, Paperwork & Accessories: Included is the original factory box, which shows roughing and scrapes from storage, a few punctures and small tears are present, in Good to Very Good condition. Also included is a group of factory paperwork and 2 9-round magazines, in Excellent condition.
Our Assessment: From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith_%26_Wesson_Model_1006 “It is constructed entirely of stainless steel, a 5 in (127 mm) barrel and a 9 round single column magazine. Its safety is a slide mounted de-cock/safety, internal safeties are a magazine disconnect and firing pin block. It is available with fixed or adjustable sights.[1] The model 1006 was the first in the S&W 1000 series of third generation semi-automatic handguns. Variations include the models 1046, 1026, 1066, 1076 (FBI model) and 1086. The 1000 series were some of the most robust, sturdy 10 mm handguns ever built, easily handling the power of this potent cartridge. Other third generation S&W auto series include the 5906, 4006 and 4506.” This pistol was made sometime in the early 1990’s and is still in Excellent condition. It almost looks like a 1911 but has a double and single action trigger pull. With the ambidextrous decocker safety and tight slide to frame fit, this stainless beast should be reliable and accurate for a long time to come. With the box and higher condition, it may tempt some collectors who missed out in the 90’s. Please see our pictures and good luck.
