I have one from several years back(maybe 10) that is a good gun, accurate as heck. The only drawback is the weight, but a good gun none the less. In passing I'll say that the 4003 is a piece of crap, thats the alloy framed 4006, you give up about 8oz's and a whole lotta accuracy. I realize that the S&W autos arent the nifty black wonder pistols everyone wants/carries but they are good tools that will do the job. I know here in Texas there has been a lot of police trade-ins available at a good price. Oh and the most underrated S&W auto, the 3913 is my favorite pistol, it's the one that my wifes carries and then I can say honey you might like this(insert pistol model), we buy it, she doesn't like it, goes in safe and has become my pistol... I dont agree with the politics of S&W, but then I didn't agree with the politics of our last president, but I supported him as the president of the USA.. Nuff said..Stay Safe
