S&W Prototype 4006 PC Judy Woolley ’91 Steel Challenge

Description

This isn’t just a Smith & Wesson Model 4006, a Performance Center-tuned powerhouse that once helped define competitive shooting standards. Built for the rigors of IPSC and USPSA matches, this .40 S&W pistol packs serious pedigree, complete with a 5-inch Bar-Sto match barrel and a Schuemann hybrid compensator that keeps recoil in check when the pressure’s on.

What really sets this one apart? Its history. This exact pistol was fielded by none other than Judy Woolley of Team Smith & Wesson. It was tailored to meet major power factor requirements and comes dressed in the original factory brushed and matte stainless finishes—still sharp, still commanding. The ambidextrous safety was removed and swapped with a smooth, cylindrical plug, making slide manipulation quicker and more intuitive. In place of the rear sight sits a commercial slide racker—practical and competition-ready.

The upgrades are as thoughtful as they are functional: a squared-off trigger guard, extended beavertail, hand-checkering fore and aft, and a single-action-only setup built for precision. A B-Square side mount hosts the Tasco Propoint red dot—solid, proven, and still a favorite in classic competition circles. Two original mags with CP Bullets bumpers round out the package.

Here’s where things get personal: it comes with a factory letter dated February 1992, confirming all the unique specs—the tuned action, the finish, the compensator, the mounts, and even the specialized grips. And as a final touch, Judy Woolley’s signed Team S&W card is included. It’s not just a gun—it’s a piece of her legacy.

Whether you’re a collector, competitor, or someone who simply appreciates a firearm with a real story behind it, this Model 4006 isn’t just worth owning—it deserves a spot in the spotlight.
