Like the last poster said, you can use a spurless hammer from a 6906, but you will have to change it's shorter strut for the longer one on your 4506 hammer. I set my 4506 up that exact way. Plus the top of the hammer is serrated, so thumb cocking is possible by starting the hammer back with the...

This was a widespread "fad" or "mania" back in the late 70s, early 80s. Mostly prompted by fears of civil lawsuits with plaintiff's lawyer screaming "MAGNUM." My Dept fell under these stupid rules for several years, in spite of warnings of lawsuits by Officers (or their survivors) should they...

I changed my 4506 MIM hammer to a bobbed "stainless" from a 6906 I picked up cheap from Gunbroker. All I had to do was switch the longer 4506 strut to the 6906 hammer and it was a drop in fit. Bobbed hammer is serrated on the top, so it's still possible to CAREFULLY cock for a single action...

To be considered a robbery, there has to be a physical confrontation between the perpetrator and a victim. Break into an unoccupied bank when closed and steal, it's a burglary. Go in to a bank when people are present and confronted, steal from them using "force or fear" and it's a robbery...

Joni, I think you may be a winner. A high primer, in a cartridge adjacent to the one being fired, slamming into the recoil shield, COULD possibly detonate and being blocked by the frame, the bullet would cause the kaboom. It does appear that more than one cartridge detonated. Possibly with...

Or maybe cut the expense of high polished blue or nickle finishes, leave rough, matte finish, call them "TACTICAL" and raise the prices. ;)

Actually, it is an overrun from a MOSSAD contract. Like most Middle East writing, it is SUPPOSED to be read from right to left, NOT left to right, as in the Western World. Even rarer, it might be one of the Golda Meir Signature Models, with her likeness and signature engraved on the inside of...

Sometimes the exact same item will vary in value, according to the same person, depending on whether they own the item in question, or are looking to acquire the item. "One man's trash is another man's treasure..." Or the Gunshow Version: "Junk turns to merchandise, not by a "magic wave of...

I installed a 6906 spurless hammer in my 4506. Had to switch the shorter 6906 strut for the longer 4506 one, but other than that it was a drop in fit. With the serrations, it can be still cocked for single action, by slightly pulling the trigger, then thumbing it back the rest of the way, AFTER...

Those springs have plungers underneath them. Both plungers interact with 3 levers in the frame, two on the right and one on the left. The left side lever is for the magazine safety and the right side ones are the firing pin safety lever and the decocking lever.

Back in the day (70s-80s) both Bianchi and Safariland marketed holsters of this design. I had the Safariland version and carried a 2 1/2" Model 19 (later a 66) in exactly that manner. Under right arm for right hand draw. Reason? Worn that way, one can place their hand on their hip...

I have a 4506 R3 and I stumbled across a NOS (New Old Stock) 4566 slide on Gunbroker. Ended up getting it for the minimum bid $100+$9 shipping. Found a NOS barrel at Midway on closeout for $68. A quick call to S&W for a recoil spring and guiderod. Barrel and slide are an earlier version, with...

Back in the day, Pachmayr made a one piece wrap around grip, with a seperate backstrap insert for the Model 39 among others. (The 1911 is still produced today.) Check Gunbroker. I found and purchased two NOS sets for my Star PD (also long discontinued) for a quite reasonable price. They, like...

That's exactly it. Perfectly normal. Magazine disconnect lever and ejector combined.

I kinda sorta have a 4566. Month ago or so I was browsing through Gunbroker and ran across a NOS complete slide for a 4566. Starting bid was $100.00 and no reserve. Why not? Got it for the starting bid. Now what? Turns out Midway had a closeout on a NOS 4566 barrel. $68.86. Bought the...

The major stigma of the Sigma, is the reputation they earned from the first generation models. First impressions, good or bad, can last a long time.

Someone is confused. Maybe me? Do you have a Model 52 or a Model 952? Which one was the Tech referring to as "no adjustments for the owner?" I'll admit I've never been inside a 952, but I owned a 52 a couple of decades ago, and there WAS some adjustment available, though I don't recall the...
