Fastbolt write that book!
I agree, having owned almost every model 45 they made. The early 4513TSW is my favorite. And my favorite handgun. Out of all of them. Regards 18DAI
While I don't mind sharing some of the interesting odds & ends I can remember being told by assorted folks at the factory (only one of whom I think hasn't yet retired, and he's gotta be very, very close to pulling the plug), trying to organize some of the stuff into some sort of a "Things I Was Told" book might annoy S&W (the corporate folks). Dunno.
On the other hand, if I do finally get serious about publishing a book, it's a lot more likely going to be a distillation of the 1400-odd pages of material I was writing back in the mid 90's and early 2000's.
It's a "manuscript" mix of personal experiences, observations, thoughts and memories from my lifelong martial arts interest, up until that point, at least. It's unfinished, and it really needs to be brought up-to-date for the last 16+ years of my thoughts and practice in the arts.
It's also been salted with my thoughts and early years of serving as a LE firearms instructor. I started blending the firearms training stuff into the martial arts stuff as I was realizing the impact and synergy of my arts training with my own firearms training, as well as using some of the diagnostic methods to look for problems in shooters that went beyond the simple "stand this way" and "grip it this way" techniques used by instructors.
That gun teaching stuff also needs to be brought up-to-date to include the experiences and reflections I've gained since the middle 90's/early 2000's.
My real preference, though, has always been to try to write my own fiction, which would lean toward sci-fi/fantasy.
In the meantime, I just take up bandwidth and clutter up internet space on some of the gun forums, where my blather is worth exactly what people pay to wade through it.

Long as you don't make the mistake of thinking I'm some sort of "expert" on this stuff.
When I think about all the stuff I don't know, it boggles my mind. Then, there's all the stuff I don't know that I don't know ...

And the stuff you don't remember if you knew it or not . Seriously , if you ever write the book , I am going to ask you to sign it . Sounds like it would be VERY interesting reading .
I'd certainly buy a copy (signed would be nice).
Just an observation to pass along...i have a 6 round mag for a PC 945 (I'm guessing it's for product code 170184 shown on pg. 462 in SCSW #4) with the 'vertical' indentations that CS45 mags have.
Maybe they started with CS45 mags, added the extra mag release slot, and branded them for PC??
The 7 round mag on the right with the rounded baseplate is a spare that came with the Shorty 45. Its original PC logo stamped mags have standard baseplates.

Put me down for a copy as well!
Signed, of course. 
++++++++++
p.s., Please make it out as follows: "To my special friend TTSH. When it comes to 3rd Gens, you are Da Man"!
Thank you!
(Doesn't have to be exactly 100% true, does it?)
