S&W 4567
does anyone on this site own a model 4567? i have searched everywhere for information on my weapon but have only come up with 1 paragraph.. from what my dad told me it was one of 1500 made? is this a true statement, and is it worth holding on to

I had one. Had to sell it to feed the divorce attorney. Very nice variant of the 4566. I liked the two tone finish and my preferred spurless hammer.
IIRC there were only 1200 made in 1991, and then a run of "Classic Series" 4567's as well. Don't know how many of those were done. The only difference between the regular 4567 and the "Classic Series" was that the classic had a tacky gold colored "Classic Series" laser etched on the right side of the slide.
Nice pistol! Hope this helps. Regards 18DAI.

They were suppose to be Lew Horton specials, 1,236 made in '91, a 4566 with blue carbon slide, night sights and bobbed hammer. There was also a 5967 made using the 6904 slide.

I have one as well. Picked it up a year or so ago from a local gun shop that actually had two of them. Supposively that had been used by a local police agency. Mine has some wear on the slide but it is decent shape for what I paid for it. Serial number is not 10 ( i wish), but 10xx.

I believe the sight maker (probably Trijicon) will replace the vials for a lot less money. Call them first. If I remember correctly, the gun owner shipped the slide to them.

Also, the standard catalog says "limited production of 1,236 in 1991." ANIB is worth $700, Exc $550, and VG $425.

Check "tooltech gunsights" in MI, they can relamp your sights for about half the cost of new ones.

your seial number is blocked out in on picture but not the other? just wondering why seeing as i did not block them. i take it the lower the older when it comes to the serial numbers correct? and if so yours is pretty close the the last of the kind.. i have had about 3 or 4 different numbers on how many were made

Whoops, oh well. I usually like to blur out any serial nmber I post but no biggy. And yes you are mostly right about serial numbers. The lower the number usually signifies older the production date of the gun but not always. Especially when it comes to S&W revolvers where the numbers can be all over th palce with no rhyme or reason. Anyway, the number of production I posted comes from the S & W standard catalong which are probably the most reliable numbers you can get for production number. So truly these original production 4567's are pretty rare. And technically I think they are also called the 4567-NS per that same S&W catalog.

Mine is serial # thc 73xx. I bought it a few months ago at a pawn shop. it is in pretty good shape, some light holster wear. I will eventually send it to S&W for a re-blue on the slide, and send the sights back to trjicon for new lamps at the same time. I need to get about 300 more rounds through it first.

I purchased mine in 1991 or 92 and was told by the owner it was one of only three in Louisiana that time. Mine has a three digit serial number. It is my primary defense weapon and was my packing piece for a number of years. I have the original grips as well. It is a shooter first and is the only auto that I have never had a malfunction on regardless of the ammo I have put through it. I am certainly not afraid to touch up the holster wear with Perma Blue touch-up pen. Its not perfect but but looks better than bare metal.

4567
i bought my 4567 brand new in '91 s/n TFP0263 still have the box and paperwork, owners manual and even the rust preventative paper it was wrapped in and the cardboard that held it in place in the box. most reliable gun i have ever owned. it can sit idle for years and shoots right on the money when you pull the trigger. it's still all original.

The last and only 4567 I saw was at a gun-shop in Central Maine. Believe it was priced at $750 and came with only 1 mag--probably still there.

I'm brand new to the S&W family and just picked up a used 4567 at a local dealer here in NH. I debated over lots of new and used pistols, but because I have large "man hands", I wanted something with a bit more heft. I settled on the 4567 because it just feels "right".
I love hearing all the positive reviews and good stories about this pistol. This is my first, and I'm off to an indoor range on Wednesday to start getting comfortable and familiar with what I hope will be an old friend for many, many years. Comments and suggestions for a n00b are all welcome and appreciated.

I recently joined an indoor range (xmas gift from wife) so that when I get rained out I can go shoot. I also introduced my grown daughter to pistol shooting last week and she was more comfortable with that big 4567 than anything other than the vulnerable S&W mod 10 and keeps the bullets in the black. I am so pleased with it I am now on the hunt for a 5906.

another 4567 owner
Now retired, I decided to chek the history of my 4567 I bought off a retired Seal in 1991. Carried it fulltime till retiring. It stayed with me into Kosovo in 2000, and Iraq in 04. Its never failed me, but didnt like fact few good lasers were designed to fit it
The original Trijicons still work, and monthly service has kept it like new, and its #151 of production...its still on me almost 24/7...wife has some say ya know...and its still my preferred weapon at annual quals so I keep my certifications in state and federal levels
👍🇺🇸

Thanks for sharing your long-term relationship with your 3rd Gen 4567 and welcome to the Forum. I still have my first love (4567) in the safe beside my bed, but since I purchased it in 2012 -- Wow! Six years goes by fast! -- I've given it several stablemates: SW1911 Pro, 645, SD9, M&P9c, M&P Shield, as long as several non-S&W pistols: a Wilson Combat Tactical Elite and a Desert Eagle 50AE.
A partial "family photo" is below:
Continue to enjoy your awesome firearm!
