I believe this is the last gen 3 pistol that S&W currently manufactures. The only reason it's still made is that it is one of the few pistols on the NYPD approved list and the NYPD is huge. Larger than the army of many countries.
May also still be issued by Chicago PD, not sure about that one.

Well that would explain the ones I saw on GunBroker a couple of months ago. Some gun shop in AZ was repeatedly listing "new" 5906 for the RCMP at stupid, stupid, stupid prices.
The listing would expire and the shop would re-list at the exact same price over, and over, and over again.
Yeah I'd love to have one but I'm not a S&W crazy collector type and the shop wasn't getting the message.
I still see LNIB 5906 around but sometimes the price is like all 3rd Gen S&W climbing. Just not high enough on the priority list to buy one.
