ejector Also the ejector rod can unscrew some and bind things up. I think t hey changed to different direction threads on one of the dashes.

Jughed440. I'd like to buy the lot. I have paypal. But I don't see how to PM on this site. I'll keep looking to pm you. Figured it out. Pm sent.

That is too bad. I was by there this afternoon and asked about it. It is of course just as you said. I decided not to take the 4506 they were holding for me. Very dirty with green slime inside. Seemed in good mechanical condition, but I could foresee significant cleaning time.

I live near there in New Hampshire. I believe they will do a transfer to your ffl if the gun is Mass compliant. I've heard the help speaking to Mass residents and got that impression. Might be worth a phone call to the gun Dept to inquire.

Yeah. Something special about the 45xx. I especially like the no dash large trigger guard. But I carry a Glock 9.

As has been stated, inspect the extractor. If sat replace extractor spring and brush out the chamber with a brass brush and solvent

shoots good Yes, Ethang, it shoots good. Just like all the other third gen .45's. The square triggerguard seems to be appreciated by only a few.

I came full circle and finally came back to a 4506 no dash I got one with adjustable sights when S&W first brought them out. I really liked it, but the curved backstrap was a little large for my hand. So I traded it off before I found out about the straight backstrap grip. In 1995 or so I...

I carry my 638 in a front pocket more than anything else.

I PREFER the square trigger guard too. More room inside.
