I really like the look and feel of the 4506 but I don't particularly want a .45. Were any other pistols in this style / series produced in other chamberings (and relatively easy to find) with a 5" barrel? Or did that barrel length only ever come on .45 caliber models?

TIA

The 10mm is on the same frame and there are 5" 9s' and 40s', but most all of them are PC guns and most are single action.

you can try the 4013 S&W. I had one for many years and loved it. Right now, I carry a Springfield XD .40 caliber in a four inch. They do make a five inch but the four is a better concealment gun. Prefer it over the Glock for many reasons. I have shot over 3000 rounds and have not had a problem whatsoever. They do make it in a compact.

Many thanks for the responses. I wouldn't necessarily mind the SA, but a PC model is surely going to to be well out of my budget range. Looks like I'll have to settle for a 4" barrel or - more likely - go with a .45 and get the length I'm really wanting here; I don't think a 10mm is something I'd consider.
