Now going on it's 21st birthday since I bought it, I relish it more than i did when I first bought it in Spring 1990. If I could find another like it that was in the condition mine is, I'd scarf it up in a heart beat.

This looks just like my first 4506, bought when I worked for the Great Lakes, IL police department back in the '80s. We carried Ruger .38s with 200-grain military ball ammo on duty, but off duty it was our choice, and I chose the 4506. Carried well and shot better than I did. When I left law enforcement in '91 I sold it to another officer, who carried it on his part-time job for years. Now my only 3rd gen is a 4586 that I just picked up from another forum member. They are some of the best .45s out there.
