Maple Desk
Everyone likes my guns, but nobody ever says anything about my figured maple desk that I use in the photos. I guess thats a subject for a different thread. Thanks for the complement.

The 4513 Recon is unfired, so I don't think I can answer that. The 4563 CQB has a great DA/SA trigger.

trigger pull
The reason that I ask is because I wonder if a pistol with a bobbed hammer would be set up differently considering that most first shots would be made under the DA pull (as opposed to being able to cock the hammer first). Maybe I'm overthinking the situation (a first!) and all pistols in a series share the same parts.
Thanks,

I'll be picking up my NIB 4566TSW tomorrow and will probably post a few pics of it. Do you have to have an album within the forum to be able to post a picture without the little thumbnail photo? I've tried posting a photo before just using one on my computer and it's always posted as a stamp size thumbnail.
My new Friend
I went to the range today and picked up my new 4566TSW. Not wanting to wait later to shoot it, I had brought my G19 Glock for a little practice and brought some 45 ammo to try in the Smith. I broke it down, oiled it a little and worked the action and loaded a magazine with some old Federal 185 gr fodder. It shot good and I was pleased.
Next, I had some 18 year old Corbon's in the 200 gr Speer variety and decided to shoot most of them up since they were getting old. The first 15 did good then suddenly I got a nose dive jam, cleared it and then went on to try it again. Several shots later with this same ammo I had a fail to fire and upon recocking the hammer after waiting about 30 seconds to see if it was a dud, I tried again and no go. I proceeded to try and just eject it and the slide was frozen. No way I could clear it so I called for one of the range guys and he couldn't clear it either so, he takes it to the gunsmith and after waiting about ten minutes he comes back with a case and bullet in his hand.
There was no powder in that round and the primer sent the bullet barely into the lands and froze up the entire gun! I was hacked off that after paying premium money for CorBon, even though it was some while back, and never thought I'd get a dud from such a reputable company. I'll be cautious from now on about this company. I've shot many rounds of this same ammo years ago with the 4506 and never had any failures-especially one like today.
At any rate, I brought the 4566 home, cleaned it up and thought I'd show a couple of pics of my new found friend even though we didn't start off good.

OK so I love my 629-1 a lot,but the M&P .45 re taught me why I like a .45 semi-auto.....guess what a local pawn shop had? and what got traded?
Count me in the 4506-1 club!
Little beast can shoot too!

Way to go!! They may be big and heavy but "IF" they ever fail, you can always cause blunt trauma to the BG, no problem I think you'll love it more and more as time goes on-I did mine. As the BG said in Dirty Harry-"My, that's a big one!"

Right now I have it shoved in a cheap Uncle Mike's IWB holster and I really don't notice it's there,a bit of weight perhaps,but it's comfortable.
My M&P is a great gun,but it's going to be a "house" or "woods only" since I have the TLR-1 clamped on it.
The 4506-1 is going to be my "all the time" pistol with ether the Pug or 642 as back up.
BTW the titrium sights still glow enough to be usable,so that's a plus.

Thought everybody might enjoy these, I love the 3rd Gen Smiths, I have the 4546 listed for sale right now but after I took it out tonight and was handling it, I think I'm gonna keep it and sell my H&K USP instead.
Anyway here they are, a 1006, 4546, 4506-1, and 3913
