Default New to me 4553

I usually hang out with the revolver crowd but I picked up my first 3rd gen pistol this week so wandered over this way. I look forward to putting some rounds down range and thought I'd post a picture. I hope it shoots terribly so I don't develop a new addiction.

It looks to be in great condition and if it is, you will be dissapointed because it will probably shoot great. Get ready to buy more.

Congratulations! That looks like a really great buy. And now you've just doubled the time you will spend here on the Forum.

It is in great condition. From the threads I've read on the 45xx's, I'm sure it will shoot great.

Great.

Another seldom seen model for me to obsess over.

That is a totally cool lookin' pistol.

I have an as-new 4553 that I shot for the first time yesterday. I hate it, the trigger is awful, it's heavy and doesn't fire until it reaches the back of the trigger guard. I'll either give it back to my friend or convert it to da/sa.
