4513TSW Questions

[Fastbolt]

Hello, is there any way I can put a set of Hogue grips on my 6 round 4513?

You'd have to modify the Hogue panels for the 4516/457/current production 4513TSW.

I did it for a couple of guns. Not pretty, since they were just being used for "working off-duty " 4513's, but they worked. Someone who took their time to finish off the cuts and exposed edges could do a much better job. Mine was just one of those quick, late evening "good enough for gov work" efforts. They worked fine for us, so I never got around to doing it over and making them look better.








Oddly enough, after using them for several years I recently decided to remove them, and I like using the gun better without them nowadays. Go figure.

The 3913TSW pre rail that I bought a while back has the same soft of modified grips. I haven't decided if I'm going to put the OEM ones I bought on or not. If I do, I'll probably give them the K&G Boot Guard treatment as mentioned in another thread somewhere in this sub forum.

grips

Hello and thanks for all the great replies and pictures. Always nice to have so many respondents.

Like Fastbolt I've used the cut down Hogue rubber grips for some time on my 6-round 4513TSW's. Thanks Big Dog!

I did take them off last week and reinstalled a brand new factory OEM grip. Thanks Fastbolt!

While the OEM grip does take a little bit away from the 4513's controlability using the Hogue grip, and causes me to loosen up my groups - slightly, it does restore the concealability of the 4513TSW. Regards 18DAI

I, too, prefer the factory grip on mine.

Took my newly-purchased 4513TSW to the range for the first time a couple of weeks ago. "Skinny" exceeded my expectations. Three full 6-round mags of .45 230 grain ball at 7 yards yielded the results shown here. This one has factory grips as shown, and I won't be changing a thing.

Nice shooting! I hope I do half as well when I take my new to me 5903TSW & AR to the range. I'm waiting on some standard Novak's to replace the dead night sights.

funny how each one looks a little different - one-sided decocker, red dot under the decocker, flush mount 6 round mag, my 7 round sticks out, still all are super guns!

My brother told me he thought that mine has Trijicon sights. That possible?

I have the factory grips on all of my 3rd Gens, even my CS9

We do have the Trijicons on ours Martya. Technically, they are Novak Low Mount night sights with Trijicon inserts.

I can't thank you enough for putting me onto mine. Great plain clothes 45. Best regards, 18DAI

I have found that a lot of times on pistols that have been cleaned using the sonic dip method the red dot comes off in the cleaning. I bought some bright red automotive touch up paint & carefully put a small drop in the hole. It looks brand new.
