Description
This rare and important handgun is a Smith & Wesson Model 5904 Custom Prototype. It showcases the quality and innovation of the Smith & Wesson Performance Center, which started in 1990 and set new standards for making handguns for competitive shooting.
This particular pistol was developed with the help of Judy Woolley, a well-known competitive shooter. Smith & Wesson shipped it on February 24, 1992. Woolley provided valuable feedback during the design of this 9mm handgun. The gun has a 4.5-inch barrel with a compensator, which helps improve accuracy and reduce recoil, making it ideal for competitive matches.
The prototype features excellent craftsmanship, including a satin-finished scope mount, safety on the frame, and two-piece walnut wood grips. These grips offer both a classic look and a comfortable, secure hold. The Performance Center has finely tuned the action, adjusting the internal parts to provide a smooth single- and double-action trigger pull for better performance in precision shooting.
This Model 5904 Prototype is a limited-production item connected to a rich history of competitive shooting, making it a dream for collectors. Its link to Judy Woolley, who is respected in the shooting community, adds value. This pistol is not just a firearm but a piece of competitive shooting history, reflecting the skill and creativity of Smith & Wesson’s Performance Center.
