Default SPF: Perf. Ctr. 945-1 5", like new & priced to move! (WA)

(Sold Pending Funds)

I really hate to sell it as this S&W Performance Center 945-1 .45ACP is likely the most accurate gun I own, eclipsing even my Baer Concept V (at least in my hands). But I already have two other 4" PC945 models and since this one doesn’t seem to make it to the range very often, it’s time to free up the stable a bit and let it go.

With a ship date of 11/25/02, it has been a flawless performer through its 725 total rounds. Fit and finish are perfect, just as you’d expect for a handfit Performance Center handgun. The trigger is somewhere in the 3 to 4 lb. range (I don't have a scale), and is just as crisp, clean and glassroad-breakable as my Baer. This particular gun has never been carried and has been meticulously cared for…it is a safe queen that is essentially as-new.

For those not familiar with the PC945, it’s a hybrid of sorts of S&W’s third-generation guns with the 1911 (though certainly leaning more towards the latter than the former)…in my mind, it addresses all the shortcomings the 1911 arguably has. Range time will never be more fun than with this gun.

Left side:



Right side:



Slim profile grip with undercut trigger guard & beautiful checkering on the frontstrap:



Incredible slide-to-frame fit:



Nice bore with Briley bushing (can just barely make out, the gold ring peeking out toward the back) to ensure phenomenal accuracy:



Adjustable rear sight by Wilson Combat…quality parts throughout.



If you’ve never owned a hand-fit Performance Center gun, you’re in for a real treat.



Gun comes with S&W Performance Center aluminum hardcase (the numbers have never been set), two S&W 945 mags, manual and other associated paperwork. Retails for well over $2K, asking $1050 + $50 shipping (private party to your FFL via UPS overnight, an $85'ish value). No trade offers, please…am saving up for a new motorcycle next spring and need the cash. I can be reached via PM and email through this site.
