Default Never was an automatic guy before..

Kinda funny, I grew up shooting revolvers only & didn't decided to buy my first centerfire automatic, a 1911, until the early 80's. (Many years before that I shot briefly on the Air Force pistol team & had to borrow a 1911 to compete in the 45 Class at each event. )

So my next auto, & first S&W 3rd Gen, didn't come until 2013 when I spied an incorrectly tagged S&W 45 Auto in the corner of a display case, upside down, & with no model number stamped on it.

Turned out to be a 845 Limited. It's finely fitted action won me over immediately & I made a nice deal on it, starting me on the road to more additions than I expected.

Since then I've bought about a dozen more 3rd Gens, mainly 40's & 45's, along with a few 9mm's.

I was just too busy working & raising a family to notice these guns when the came out in the 90's, but I'm trying to make up for it.
