A 645 for $450? Yes, please
Went to a local gun show today. Saw the usual high speed low drag tactical stuff, lots of new guns, some used Smiths that were way overpriced (example, a Model 66-2 4 inch, no box, aftermarket rubber grips, priced at $1,500) and a small table at the back that had several used handguns from a private seller. Had this Model 645 with a price tag of $475, we settled on $450 cash. Wiped it down when I got home, everything functions as it should, seems to have been carried but not shot a lot. I'm happy with it. (Yes, it's a cell phone pic. Best I can do until I get my camera back from my daughter.)

If it shoots as well as my early it 639 Im sure your going to be a happy camper! Just put in a new recoil spring and you will be in business. Enjoy

Nice deal you made.
I paid $560.00 for mine with shipping.
It came with 2 mags, no box.
Full size 2nd gen S&W 45's are just cool.
Congrats.

That was a good purchase for the price and what you received for it. Good for you.

Congrats!
I went to two small regional gun shows today. I walked up to one table just as the dealer was peeling off the five $100 bills to purchase a beautiful 645 from a patron.
Had I only been 3 minutes earlier, I would have been $500 lighter.
The dealer didn't want to resell. Claimed he had one when younger and was stoked to get another.

You did well on the purchase and will enjoy shooting it.

Neat guns, basicly a 1911 sized version of the Model 39 in 45 cal.
Had a 745 back in the day and debated a 745 for CCW but they are a bit large with primitive sites.
That being said the 645 is e a quality firearm that IIRC will even chamber empty cases fed from the magazine.

For that price, I likely would have grabbed it also.
And I have one already. I have mine set up for 45 Super. I like all my third gens. I even picked up a clean 915 the other day for three bills out the door.

I've owned a 915 since they were first introduced. It's one of my favorite handguns.

That was a great deal! I love my 645, and 915. I always wished S&W would have incorporated the removable grip panels onto the 4506.
