Can any one help with my 4605-1 date

[Rvulcan500]

Hello,
I'm new here this is my first post. I recently picked up a S&W 4506-1 and I was wondering where can I go to find out when it was made. The pistol came without mags, original box, and manual so I bought 3 promags and to my surprise they work great. I cant afford OEM mags yet.
The serial number is VYW67XX
thanks in advance for any help
Ric

VYY comes back to 1996. I can't seem to find a VYW. I am confident somebody with better info will dive in.

Thank you for the welcomes. I traded a Canik
Tp9sa for it. I think I got the better deal!

Welcome, the 4506 has a strong following here. I would say that you did get the best of that deal. Glad the Promags work, call yourself "Lucky".
