Can I See Your S&W .45 Autos?

[Wyatt Burp]

Being a sixgun fan I didn't own a practical, modern, reliable, autoloader. But I wanted one. It had to be 9MM or .40, D.A., and achieved classic status already just because I like cool stuff when I can afford it. So I got this 39-2 with box and papers for $400 which is way less than the brand new stuff out there. I bought Executioner elk bone grips while waiting ten days for it.
Now I'm interested in a S&W .45. I know these will be more modern but I was wondering if you folks can show me yours, especially if they have any fancy touches to personalize it for you. Thanks ahead of time, everybody. Here's that 39 -2 I got and posted here before. To me this is the ultimate in a 9MM. Let's see your big bores. Compact OR full size.

@Black Sheep,

I am in love with your 645. I couldn't afford one when they came out...I was in college then and owned a Model 59 and a 659...and no one would consider trading those for one at the time. I now have a 4506 but would enjoy a 645 like yours...phillips screw on the right side and all.

My S&W 45s...

My 645 has an allen head screw on the ambidextrous safety (SN# TAK 17XX) The darn thing would never stay tight until I put a little blue loctite on it.

My recently acquired Chief's Special 45 has become one of my favorite CCW pieces. Hard to imagine a compact .45 Auto that is more accurate or easy to shoot. Wish I'd have purchased one years ago before I tried and hated several other compact .45's!

Here's my 2 945's. One 5" and a 3", really nice guns. I actually bought the 3" to carry, got hot on the model while waiting to pay for it as I put it on layaway at S&W Retail store. I did my usual web search on it and found the 5" model on GB and bought that one too. Very nice to shoot, but then I realized the 945-1, 3" model was a little expensive and nice to carry concealed.. So hence the SW1911's came into the picture, have to do the whole family portrait soon.

Howdy Matt!

Hi Matt,
Nice 39.
I have had a couple of 645 and 4506's that I put a lot of rounds through and loved them. They proved very reliable for me.
One of the assets of a 1911 style has over them is the slew of .22 conversions available for them.
I can pull the slide stop and replace the upper in seconds and have another option for my woods walks.

Thanks
Mike

Had plans to get a 945 but got sidetracked big-time on revolvers.
Local gunsmith made up the left hand safety for me on the 745, I'm a southpaw.

Take Care, Kevin

Here's my 4566, once issued by the Rome, NY PD. It's a pleasure to shoot and, like all 3rd gen S&W's I've met - thoroughly reliable and combat accurate. It weighs ~ 1/2 oz. more than my 1911 Colt 45.

Nice pic's guy's.....I'm still on the hunt for a 4566tsw so I can join the 45 S&W club.

This is what used to be my 4516-2. Like everybody on the forum, I sold it in an act of stupidity. It was a great pistol.

My 4566 with decocker only, an flush hammer. She will get a regular hammer.
