![]() Third Digit is "Type of Model" which indicates size and action-type (I think). 69XX is compact model, same size as the 3913, but with a 12rd magazine. The "39xx" series is a single stack 9mm compact. In the 4-digit model-number system, the first two digits indicate caliber and "basic model system" which I think translates into single/double-stack from all the models I've seen: ![]() Most of the older models (with 2-digits or 3-digits) cannot handle +P rounds - the 639 is an example of a 3-digit model that can handle +P.ģ9/59 series 1ST Gen, X39/X59/X69 2ND Gen, Then we come to 3RD Gen, all rules are thrown out the window, cause this is where S&W started to combine the 3 digit/4 digit, most of this was done with the 45ACP 457 serie's, but there are others!!!!!! The differences between the 4-digit S&W Semi-autos is in the model numbers (well, sort of).įirst off, (and this only pertains to semi-autos - and I don't believe any of the plastic guns), there are 2-digit models, 3-digit models, and 4-digit models. Edited to add some corrections so as not to confuse anyone - thanks LDP
