Had an early 4516 it was OK; but felt like I was like carrying a brick vs. a 3913 or PPK......later got an 6 shot TSW 4516-? like it but pre-internet it was hard to find spare mags... and the three I had weren't enough for me.
I had a W. German 220 that had replaced my 1911s as a carry .45 in the mid 80s..........so when the Sig 245 was introduced I traded my 4516TSW for the compact Sig.
The Sig 220 and 245s have been my carry .45s since the early 90s....... but I do have a Smith 4566 and a half dozen or so mags. in the safe!!!!
Would love to have a FrankenSmith with a 4516 frame and 4566 upper.....
