4506 on Duty - Part 2

[BongoBoy]

This was a great post for me for a few reasons...not knowing anyone in law enforcement, I just assumed you didn't have any choice at all about what you could carry, and would have assumed that, even if you had a choice of firearm, caliber was totally out of the question.

In any case, I only recently became aware the 4506 existed, and found a few offered at gunbroker--one of which looks to be outfitted with the very same Hogue sleeve on the grip. So, I'm here to learn a little bit about the model. Don't really need a single stack 45 that could do duty as a yacht anchor--but there's a lot of things I don't need that I would like to have.

Remember it's totally dependent on the individual department. LAPD is pretty liberal when it comes to duty guns. From what I understand NYPD is strictly 9mm, but 3 choices.

Some department require officers to carry off duty, some discourage it. Again every department is different.

Love these 3rd Gen Smiths and it's pretty heartening to see a big city cop rocking the big stainless iron in the age of Glock Perfection™ smothering everything else. Wish more departments had dug their heels in on keeping them then we might've gotten more of the late CHP-style TSWs.

Hey guys sorry for being MIA for a while. Been dealing with a lot at work and personal life. Also working on writing a post on the 4506 for CCW and some mods I've done to the gun for carry. Your support here is always appreciated.

Can't speak for anybody else but mine is working out spectacularly

Now I need a lefty Kramer #2 for the other one

Cheers
