Another enigma

[koldt]

Something different. Picked these up a while ago. Wonder what service seen if any?

Probably not a lot of these in civilian possession.

I thought it was not permitted to sell service guns

Not any more. Once upon a time, it wasn’t an issue.

I do know a couple RCMP personally, and I know he and she used to carry that exact model.
I am not sure but I think they upgraded and these got sold off.

 

[skwerl]

Hey now , those are keepers.

 

[koldt]

and I know he and she used to carry that exact model.

Ah ha, that’s the enigma and part of this “skill testing question.” They didn’t. That’s a clue.

 

[ChiliDawg]

There was a scandal in my area where the Police Chief was keeping seized firearms in his personal collection, and this was the catalyst for the Government to put a halt on sales.

Weird, these look like DA/SA guns S&W 5906 , RCMP issued DAO 5946. 5946 has no safety.

Does the bottom pistol (THE4111) have an alloy frame?

 

[koldt]

Does the bottom pistol (THE4111) have an alloy frame?

Nope. All stainless.

 

[ponymusic]

Some hybrid/prototype/test pistols for the trials?

 

[pirate604]

Oh sweet mama! 3rd gen smiths!
Looks like some one beat me to it. DA/SA w/decocker safety instead of DAO.
S/N THF prefix so maybe made in '91?

 

[koldt]

I had a couple of 5906s, and access to an engraver. Voila, feux duty pistols. A bored mind and stupid ideas, gets me into trouble,,,, again.p

The black one has a complete spare top that is DAO. So it looks like one of the "special people" unit guns.

A 40 barrel just drops in

And here it is in the different configuration.
