Just wondering. I have two Model 46 in transit...both marked on the right rear of the reciever "AFPG".
Anyone ever letter a USAF model 46?

Mr. Buick, nice to see some 46 fans. Only have one that lettered to Gil Hebard, a dealer in ILL. Nice find.

Please post some pictures! You probably know that the AF PG marking stands for Air Force Premium Grade and was stamped by armorers at Lackland AFB. They have tuned the guns for competition. The letter will probably look like this. I've obliterated some of the SN since it is not my gun.

Thank You!
Many thanks for the replies! Just what I was looking for. Here are some pics of the two guns from the sellers website. Condition is not N.I.B. but I like that they have the two different radius cut slides and two different front sights. My good old Dad was once a cadet at Lackland just before the Air Force Academy opened in Colorado.

Nice M46s. The Air Force also purchased 7 inch guns.
I hope that you will letter your pistols and post back here with the information.

That is interesting about the 7" guns. I have seen some 46's in photos that are stamped "U.S." on the frame. So many variations within this small run of pistols. I'm looking forward to firing these .22s. I know that the non radiused slide pistol should only be fired with standard velocity ammunition. Does anyone have a favorite brand?
