Would anyone else like to see the old S&W GEN 3 pistols comeback??

I'm looking at getting an all-metal 9mm, so I'd be interested. But I'm not sure I'd buy - I would want to compare it side-by-side with a SiG Mk25 and Beretta 92G-SD/WC 92G.

Put me down for a 4506 and 1006--when I'm ahead on money again, that is. Geez, so many guns to want!

My first carry gun was a well used 4006. I wish I still had it. I want one of these.

I suspect in today's market they could not make them at a price point capable of competing in the sub $500 polymer auto market. At least unt very recently ( maybe still) they did make some for le contracts ( the nypd dao 59 series comes to mind)

I believe you hit the nail on the head with this comment.

I've been watching too much Miami Vice lately, so my interest in a 4506 has been piqued. A nearby gun store shows a used (of course) later model as being in stock.

I also think I should point out that I'd be as interested or perhaps even more interested in a 1006. SiG doesn't seem to have any trouble selling their new 10mm all-steel P220s for north of a thousand bucks, I doubt S&W would have any trouble, either.

I think I would want the pistol to be decock-only, to match my Beretta. Offer it in both naked stainless steel under the Classics or Pro line and in melanite with night sights and a rail with the old Night Guard name.

If they did that, I would probably be game for a 1006 Classic/Pro and a 4506 Night Guard or vice versa. Unless Vltor brings out their Bren Ten before then.

I would love a updated version of the 3913. Melonite it with night sights and a decocker. I would also like to see the full size .45s and 10mm again.

4506 or the 1006, especially the 1006

I had one of the first 4506 pistols made. The gunshop I went to to order it said "never heard of it"! My guy FINALLY located one I believe in Birmingham AL, and he had it sent up to me in TN. I shot the HELL outta that pistol, but I do recall it once jammed up so badly, I finally had to take a large screwdriver and literally bend the casing and pry out the round a hard as I could. Was a live round too, I was a tad nervous. Cant recall details. As for them returning...myself, no need. My Glocks do more than the S&W's ever did, especially my G41. Was a big gun too, for a single stack .45.

I would love to see them back on the shelves, but it won't happen. Too expensive to build compared to the polymer guns.

I fear you are correct and S&W is busy pushing their M&Ps' to the few police department still issuing the 3rd generation. Still Sig has no trouble selling their metal frame DA/SA pistols.
