Smith & Wesson, Model 686 Plus equipped with Crimson Trace laser grip. Crimson Trace is an American manufacturer of laser sight equipment, chiefly but not exclusively for pistols.

The Smith & Wesson SW series, most commonly referred to as the Smith & Wesson Sigma, was Smith & Wesson's first venture into using synthetic materials in pistol construction, with high-strength polymer material for the frame. The Smith & Wesson Sigma is somewhat infamous in the gun community due to its controversial history.
The ASP was a reworked Smith & Wesson Model 39 or 39-2, employing a shortened slide, a fixed bushing (in lieu of the Smith & Wesson designed collet bushing); the unique Guttersnipe sight system, clear Lexan grip-panels, a fully ramped and throated shortened barrel, and a smoothed and radiused profile to ensure no risk of snagging on the draw.

The Model 5904 has an aluminum alloy frame and blued carbon steel slide, also with a 15-round magazine, and inspired two other derivative pistols, the Smith & Wesson Models 915 and 910. The Model 5905 featured a carbon steel (blued) slide and frame, and was produced in 1991 only in very limited numbers.
The Smith & Wesson Model 40 originally debuted as the Centennial in 1952 and was renamed the Model 40 in 1957. The Model 40 is chambered in .38 special and has a five-round capacity. It is a snub-nose revolver with a 1 7/8-inch barrel. It is built on Smith & Wesson's J-frame and weighs 21 oz. empty. [2]
The first two digits reflect the caliber (9, 40, or 45). The 915 and 910 are both based on the Smith & Wesson 5904 - the numeral 9 stands for "9mm" (the caliber), and the following digits 15 and 10 for the magazine capacity, respectively. [1] Like the Model 5904, both the 915 and 910 utilized a carbon steel slide and an aluminum alloy frame.
The 6900-series is a third-generation version of Smith & Wesson's 69 series, which were compact 9mm pistols with double-column magazines. The 69-series pistols were designed to be small enough for easy concealed carry, but possessed considerable firepower, making them suitable as service weapons.
The gun's purpose was to kill sentry dogs or guards without alarming the main target. [1] [4] The Mk 22 was the basis for the later Smith & Wesson Model 59, retaining the original 9mm Parabellum caliber, but incorporating a wider aluminum frame with a straight backstrap to accommodate a double-column magazine that could hold 14 rounds.
