    Finally shot my 4506...this thing is a laser...

    I had a Sig 220R; a fine pistol in every way. But I ended up keeping a 4506 as my TDA 45ACP. Among other reasons, I never could quite get over Sig putting the slide release where the "frame safety" should be.

    Holster Trick for 4506 and 1006 owners

    Thanks for the info. A RSR paddle holster (with the finger release lock) for a Sig 220 would not accept a 4566. However, a 511 kydex holster for the 220 does hold the 4566 tolerably well. Good enough for an IDPA match, I think.

    CDNN 4566

    That's a darn good price for a all-stainless steel, reliable 45 Auto. Made and serviced in the USA, to boot!

    .22 conversion for 1911's

    Hmmm...I had a Marvel Unit 2, which is not their "bullseye" version and more comparable to the Kimber or Ceiner. I seem to have had better accuracy than mentioned here for the Kimber. Not S&W 41 accurate, but pretty darn good. It was ammo sensitive, however -- both to brand and whether or...

    A bump for Friday.

    WTS S&W 5943

    5943 in good condition. Flash chromed hammer and trigger. Has the "short" pull DA, but will not double strike (slide must "precock" the hammer some). Some holster wear and dings; slide will rattle if the pistol is shaken vigorously. Dead night sights. The combination of DAO (slickslide) and...

    WTS Winchester 1886 Extra Light

    I have a LNIB Winchester 1886 Extra Light. This is the Japanese-made modern version with a rebounding hammer and tang safety. This is NOT a take-down model. Some don't like a Japanese-made Winchester, but you cannot fault the workmanship. I bought it new, put a Lyman receiver sight on it and...

    Is the .45 GAP round dead?

    i think Glock tried very hard to keep the slide dimensions the same (in order to use the same holsters) but in the end couldn't quite do it. But as mbinky states, the frame is same size. If I had a hankering for a 45 caliber Glock, I'd consider the 45GAP. I've shot the 21 and it does well...

    Is the .45 GAP round dead?

    (Sigh) The 45GAP puts 45ACP ballistics in a 9mm grip frame. That is its reason for being, and it does that. It is true that the 45ACP+P has better ballistics, but that is really beyond the intent of the 45GAP. People gripe about the 45GAP mag capacity, but it is equal to or better than any...

    4506-1 purchase

    If you like it, you did good. Look around, what is available currently that is forged and machined stainless steel? Has a stellar reputation for reliability? Has a factory in the states that backs their product? How much are all-stainless 1911's or Sig's? Or even stainless 357 revolvers...

    Weaponlight for 4006TSW

    My M3 won't fit on my 5906TSW. I suspect if I really force it, I might get it to click but may damage it. The M3 fits a Sig 220 and Beretta Vertecs without any problem. Maybe the Streamlight is a better fit? I think it has different adapter plates.

    Miami Classic Shoulder rig

    Not to me either. The ad hadn't been changed in 16 days when I PM'd; it must have been gone some time in that interval and the ad simply not updated. Good deal for someone! :)

    LEO use of Smiths...???...

    Interesting thread. I stumbled into a 3rd gen S&W not to long ago when I was made an offer I couldn't refuse on a 4006. When I took it home and stripped it to clean it up a bit, I was floored by the quality of the construction. Forged frame, forged slide, lots of detailed machine work...

    hammer hole?

    I have a hypothesis that the hole would allow the hammer spur to break off if the pistol was dropped on its hammer onto a hard surface, but still leave a functional "spurless" hammer. An intentional weak spot, if you will, so that the hammer does not break off cleanly near the hammer pin and...
