Been looking for a FAIR deal on a 1000 series Smith for almost three years now. And REALLY looking on the gun sites, LGS's, Shows, etc HARD for the past 4 to five months.

  Found thses guys in three different spots...in less than a month.  The 1006 is LNIB. The 1076 is also a LNIB gun with 4 mags, an Ex VA SP gun.  The 1026 has seen use, but is fine and was also a 4 mag gun. ALL three were reasonably priced considering $900+ seems to be the norm for a LNIB 1000 series or more.

  Now to get loading!

Good looking trio.

And...welcome to the forum.

FN in MT, Welcome to the forum!  You have a nice collection going and best of luck to find the others.  I read your post over at the S&WForum yesterday.

Here is some info that may be of interest on the 10xx series;

Smith & Wesson 10mm pistols
1006 - 26,979 units produced 1990-93
1076 - 13,805 units produced 1990-93
1066 - 5,067 units produced 1990-92
1026 - 3,135 units produced 1990-91
1086 - 1,660 units produced 1990-92
1046 - 151 units produced 1991 (only)

1006- 5" barrel, slide mounted safety/decocker traditional double action
1026- 5" barrel, frame mounted decocker traditional double action
1046- 5" barrel double action only
1066- 4.25" barrel, slide mounted safety/decocker traditional double action
1076- 4.25" barrel, frame mounted decocker traditional double action
1086- 4.25" barrel double action only

S&W 1006- 5.00" barrel, slide mounted safety/decocker traditional double action
S&W 1066- 4.25" barrel, slide mounted safety/decocker traditional double action
The hammer on the 1006 has the full tang, the 1066 is bobbed.
The 1006 and 1066 do have the slide mounted decocker/safety on both sides of the slide.  Safety/Decocker if placed in safe mode allows the hammer to be dropped safely to the blocking bar so it can not hit the firing pin.  With the Safety/Decocker in fire mode, pulling the trigger will cock and fire the pistol.  The pistol can be carried with the Safety/Decocker in the fire position with the hammer un-cocked and the trigger will cock the hammer and fire the pistol Double Action. After the gun is fired, it is fully recocked and the gun is fired single action till empty or decocked.  You can carry the pistol cocked with the Safety/Decocker in fire position, then the "ONLY SAFETY IS THE TRIGGER" Single Action!  Some models can be fired without the magazine present if the magazine disconnect is removed.

NOTE for comparison
S&W 1026- 5.00" barrel, frame mounted decocker traditional double action
S&W 1076- 4.25" barrel, frame mounted decocker traditional double action
These can be decocked by pushing down on the frame mounted decocking lever, the hammer is dropped to a half or partially cocked position and pulling the trigger will cock and fire the pistol.  After the gun is fired it is fully recocked and the gun is fired single action till empty or decocked.  The hammer when dry fired will be all the way down but pulling the trigger will cock and fire the gun.  Some models can be fired without the magazine present if the magazine disconnect is removed.  FBI models worked this way..

S&W 1046- 5.00" barrel double action only,
S&W 1086- 4.25" barrel double action only, this pistol has to be partially cocked to be able to double action. By that I mean when you rack the slide to chamber a round the hammer remains partially cocked, there is NO DECOCKING FEATURE! Also the 1086 if you have a failure to fire you can not cock the hammer by squeezing the trigger a second time to fire.  No Second Strike Capability. You would have to eject the round or move the slide rearward some to re-set the action to have the trigger cock the double action hammer again.  Some models can be fired without the magazine present if the magazine disconnect is removed. Notice the tang looks smaller because the slide is longer in the rear, to cover the cocked hammer therefore the tang/beaver tail of the 1046/1086 looks shorter than the 1006/1066, 1026/1076.

Best regards! 

S&W needs to make these again.

+!!  I love my 1006 bought new back in 1990.

There was a thread on another forum about third gen S&W pistols recently.  The thread winner was a comment that pointed out that these pistols were much maligned when they were being made, and then sorely missed when they were dropped.

  Appreciate the cheat sheet.  Lots of 3rd gen information in the Supica & Nahas, S&W books too.

Really would love a M&P pro 10mm.
