So I found a very nice S&W 4" Mod 45-2 .22lr Post Office gun. Gun has original box PPW and everything. The price is $2200 out the door and guns 95-98%. Definitely nothing that I will shoot. How's this price sound and is it a good piece to buy and put up. I'm 32 now so it is more of an investment hopefully. I know not many guys my age or younger are Revolver guys.

Thanks for any info or imput

Gun is 100% correct I'm getting it today so anymore info would be greatly appreciated

I would say that at the price it is a reasonable buy. It certainly isn't likely to do anything but go up in value.

If it truly is in 95-98% condition I might even be tempted to send a round down range from time to time. With proper care it shouldn't even show that it has been used a little. Not many can say they have shot a Model 45.

At that price, if you don't want it send it my way. I got a fellow S&W collector a 6 inch Model 45, marked Boston Police Department gun for $2000. It had no box.

And here what one looks like a la carte. Mine has been out to play more than a few times.

Very fair price in that condition.

When I bought my nickel one, a blue was available right next to it, but he was asking more than your deal.


It looks better in person

I found my NIB Model 45-2 back in the old Shot Gun News back in the mid 1980's and only paid $495 plus shipping it for it. My main interest has been S&W 22's and I needed this Model for my collection. I also found a 6" pre-Model 45 at a gun show in Syracuse in the early 1990's that was an old Boston Police training gun, which was really beat up, and I later traded it even up for an original Model 39 ASP. I still have the Model 45-2 pictured below. If I was to ever sell it, I would start it out at $2500 on an auction site. I think the price for the gun you describe is a great deal. They are a neat gun, which will always increase in value.

Well today I paid for it. Currently its there sitting with my 696, 629-4, 686+ Talo, and few other non smiths. Also found a 317-2 there for $625.

Nice buy on a hard to find gun.

You know, of course, that pictures are mandatory.

Yes but I'm in the Communist state of IL so no need of taking pics if I couldn't pick them all up

I am with Bill Bates if you can find another one in Shooter grade you will sure enjoy shooting it.

I was lucky enough to get to purchase mine from one of our esteemed members.
