945-1 report Hi! I guess I told you already that I took the 945 to my gunsmith in order to improve trigger pull and a few other minor issues. I also had the firing pin block removed, first because it was not correctly fitted and thus was riding on the firing pin even with the grip safety fully...

945-1 finally arrived, tested and given a few finishing touches... Hi there! Afew weeks ago I recieved my 945 and test fired it. Accuracy seemed to be ok so far. However, I hadn't tried various brands of ammo and the trigger left a lot to be desired. On the other hand, the fit of the barrel...

Ma, have you seen my ol' 45, lately? I strongly advise against having guns (loaded or unloaded) lying around your residence. Why? Lateley there have been reports of burglars using night vision devices - at least here in Europe. Who do you think is going to find your gun first? You still being...

BME mounts Thanx! Found BME's website, checked out their slide mounted weaver rai for the 945 PC. However, even BME admits that this mount is for target loads, only. I should have mentioned that I hardly ever use target loads in my guns... I'm pretty sure the mount could take the beating - it...

Hi! Has anyone got any experience in mounting a Docter Sight or a similar dot to a 945 PC WITHOUT drilling holes? Here's what I found, however they don't seem to make it for the 945 PC: Semi Auto Pistols I'm also not sure it this kind of construction is sturdy enough to withstand a lot of...

S&W's reply Hey, I got my reply today! Here's what they wrote - actually, that's all they wrote: "Hi, the 945 is a very accurate handgun, I'm certain you will be completely satisfied with its accuracy and reliability." End qoute. B.t.w., I totally agree that there shouldn't be any major work...

Indeed! You drop your hard earned cash -- you want quality in return! Rough chambers don't necessarily lead to bad accuracy. However I take such things as symptoms for sloppy craftmanship in general. Rough chambers are a bugger to clean, though. In severe cases combined with hot loads they...

rough chamber, quality and legal issues That looks like the drill on the lathe was either blunt, out of center or driven in with the wrong speed... I've seen a lot of this over here: Germans used to be known as a people who admire precision in all kinds of metal-working arts. However, having...

Letter to S&W Now, that's funny -- here's what I wrote to S&W today: Hello, I have just ordered a new 945PC with a 5 inch barrel. Now, reading the S&W forum and other sources (internet, reviews in magazines), I get the impression that there's no other S&W gun that's more controversial than...

Well, that's a good question... If you tend to look at the bright side of things, then maybe these pistols aren't subjected to factory accuracy tests because they don't have to? Because they ARE accurate? I can't say, yet -- as I said, mine hasn't even arrived, yet. However, these guns DO look...

Hi there! My first post ever... I'm not too much of an internet guy, anyways. However, sitting here (Germany), waiting for my own brandnew 945PC to be shipped... About accuracy: I've only once ever shot a 945: Slide to frame fit had some lateral play, the rear end of the barrel rattled in the...
