Another melonite 4566 thread....

[rasmith3442]

Yet another one

Bought my melonite 4566 last April from another member. It is decock only, but has no decock only markings. Has Trijicons also.

S/N is VEC12XX. Product code is 108225. Spec. Order is 6059.

Doesn't look like it has been fired much at all. Haven't had the heart to shoot it yet!!

S/F,

RAS

Rasmith3442 that one sounds interesting. Never seen a 4566M in that serial prefix. Does it have front cocking serrations? Briley bushing?

I like that yours does not have the cheesy laser etching. Wish mine did not. My decock only PC 45CQBs have no such warnings. Regards 18DAI

18,

No front cocking serrations. Don't think it has a Briley bushing - I have never had the slide off.

Spent the day at the range chronographing. Put a bunch of rounds thru my 4513 TSW, M&P 45, a few thru my 4506, a bunch thru my 649, and a bunch thru a Kahr MK9.

Send me off to waterboard me, but I am really starting to like the Kahr trigger.

Why can't S&W make an all metal, striker fired gun, with a revolver trigger? I know, there are other threads on this subject.

Next time out, will take the 4566 to see what she'll do.

S/F,

Final price on that unusual 4566M - $705...???!!! Someone scored on that gun. I figured it would go over $1K easily. Regards 18DAI

Me too. I've even kinda been on the prowl for a 4566 lately, but didn't even bother bidding on it. Figured it was headed straight for the $1200 ballpark. I'm jealous, someone got a heck of a buy on that whole package.

What's the old expression - "nothing ventured, nothing gained?"

Would've made a nice addition to the little collection, but I set myself a limit and it didn't work out. I'm a bit relieved, actually, as I found a nice 625 this week and popped on that one as my first N frame. My "gun fund" would have gone into the red if I had won the auction.

I thought it would fetch more also, lucky buy.. Heck That blued 4505 brought in $1125, but I am glad I didn't play on either... I had my eye on a CS45 and lucked out on it instead, so 18DAI.. I don't need one of those! Lol
