I shoot Bullseye and have for way too many years to recount. The Colt Gold Cup was my "go to" pistol for years but it now takes back seat to my 945. The Colt is still a nice gun but, in my experience, the 945 is more accurate and more reliable. That's all I needed to know and was enough for me...

Are these great "old school" pistols or what? You will not see their like again.

Great original post and a great response. Compared to all the so-called custom operations out there, I consider the Smith PC guns to be the best bargains of the bunch, bar none.

You will love the 945-best .45 ACP semi-auto pistol ever made. I'd like to get a third magazine for mine. Anybody have suggestions as to where you can get them the cheapest? Thanks.

Would you consider the 945 a "pure" third generation pistol, a variant of same or a bastarized version?

palo 2219: if your brother was an "MP" in the Air Force, he was an AP (Air Police as opposed to Military Police). I wouldn't worry too much about the "black hole". Chances are good that Smith will have it shipped to them on their dime-insured.

It may well be a "high maintenance" pistol but I wouldn't call it "finicky". If your clean and lubed 52 still malfunctions after having installed a new recoil spring (and I know you don't want to hear this), I'd send it back to Smith and let them sort out the problem. Life's way too short to be...

HKSmith, we have three things in common that I know of: we're the same age, we both live in Ohio and we've both experienced the same malfunction from our 52s. I've shot Bullseye competitively since the early sixties, starting while shooting with the U.S.AirForce Air Police team and as late as...

Thanks Stones. Any idea as to how much they cost?

Other than the factory, who's selling magazines for the 945 and at what prices?
