You've done it again, Rolling Stones! A beauty of a rare, collectible pistol from the height of S&W custom production. Thanks for sharing!

Congrats!!! She's a beauty!!!
Not familiar with it but looking at the trigger it looks to me like a SAO with decocker?

Not a decocker, just a simple left side only hammer block. It works exactly like the manual thumb safety on a Model 52.

I think you're right. Those were the export version of the 845, right? I thought I had some saved info on my PC but can't find it.

Notice the Wischo serial number is WPCxxxx.

The first 845s, the "Limited", had a MPCxxxx serial number.

PC 845 Limited

(-07b)

THE ROLLING STONES, is that one yours?

The 45 Target Champion is a very fine firearm. A 45 built with the model 52 shooter in mind

My uncle has an 845 Limited and I have an 845 Model of 1988. Now I just need a family member to buy a 45 Target Champion and we will have one of each variation

Hey ROLLING STONES, was quite disappointed when I didn't find you and your fantastic collection at the display show today. You'd have had my vote!

There was talk about the 945 vs PC1911. I thought I would bring this back to life since the 845 was also talked about. If you can get one you will not be sorry.

Hello,
I live in Sweden and recently bought this gun at an auction. Serial WPC0836
I have not got it yet, Swedish license application process is slow.
All the best,
Simon
