Design

It is constructed entirely of stainless steel, a 5 in (127 mm) barrel and a 9-round single column magazine. Its safety is a slide mounted de-cock/safety, internal safeties are a magazine disconnect and firing pin block. It is available with fixed or adjustable sights. The pistols were originally made with the 2nd trigger guard, which has an elongated, oval shape (see photo); in 1992 the frame was redesigned with the shorter, rounder 3rd trigger guard.[1]

The model 1006 was the first in the S&W 1000 series of third generation semi-automatic handguns. Variations include the models 1026, 1046, 1066, 1076 (FBI model) and 1086. The 1000 series were some of the most robust, sturdy 10mm handguns ever built, easily handling the power of this potent cartridge.[citation needed]

Other third generation S&W auto series include the 5906, 4006 and 4506.

Users

The Model 1076 is most commonly known as the "FBI Pistol" because the Bureau ordered 10,000 Model 1076 pistols for its agents in the aftermath of the 1986 FBI Miami shootout. However, problems developed and the FBI received only 2,400 pistols before the contract was cancelled.[2] In 1990 the Virginia State Police contracted with S&W for 2,200 Model 1026 pistols, and by July 1990 they had received the entire order. The Model 1026 was identical to the FBI's Model 1076 but with a 5-inch barrel instead of a 4.25 inch barrel. The Virginia State Police also experienced issues with the pistol and the reduced power load recommended by the FBI. In 1994, based on continuing problems with the 1026, the Virginia State Police traded them in for the SIG Sauer P228 pistol in 9mm.

Recalls

Shortly after the 1006 pistol was introduced, Smith and Wesson issued a recall on the one-piece plastic grip. It seems when the pistol was dropped on its heel, the plastic grip could break, allowing the hammer spring to fly free. Customers who contacted Smith and Wesson were sent new grips at no charge. The new replacement grip has a center punched mark on the bottom of the heel, whereas the bad grips did not.

The 1026/1076 also had a recall issued, due to issues with the decocking lever that could potentially render the pistols inoperable.[3]
