    4506-1 vs. 1911 compatability

    Yes, that‘s true, it‘s very uncommon here. I hope there‘s no need for spare parts. But from what I read here and elsewhere it should be a really tough gun. It seems mine has received a makeover of the trigger. It‘s very crisp, dry and after a long pull with continues, very light force, you feel...

    4506-1 vs. 1911 compatability

    Hi everyone! Just to give a short reply: I bought a 4506. It was owned by a hunter and used as a backup gun. Well, „used“ is the wrong word. It will have it‘s second mayden voyage in a few days.

Since there are the above mentioned restrictions in buying guns, it would be nice to have a conversion kit available. Due to traffic jam...

    Good morning! I am already on the road now to check out a 4506-1. Condition is described „as new“, the dealer said it was most likely a „hangar queen“ (to stay in my terms...). As it is quite hard here in Germany to get more than two handguns, a lot of us are looking for bigger calibers with the...

    „Moin“ from Germany

    Hello everyone! I just joined this forum to find out a little more about S&W guns. Just won‘t hurt, I thought. Of course there are also a lot of 1911‘s out here, talking about the pistols. But also there‘s not a lot knowledge sometimes. Here we don‘t have the same traditions and often other...
