History and design
The 6904 is a third-generation version of their 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. It supplanted the Smith & Wesson Model 469, but featured some minor refinements. As with the Model 469, the barrel length was 3.5 inches, and the magazine capacity was 12 rounds.
The model 6904 featured a blued carbon steel slide and a black anodized aluminum alloy frame.
Model 6906
The S&W Model 6906 was similar to the Model 6904 except that the 6906 had a stainless steel slide and a matching color alloy frame.
