How about a Model 45

Here is the next installment of a friends estate that I am photographing, Model 45 and pretty nice condition no box or extras.

I've honestly never heard of a model 45. Somebody please educate me.

K-frame, fixed sights, .22LR caliber. Built for the USPS, apparently as a training gun for Postal Inspectors, etc. Also used by the Coast Guard and Boston PD, possibly others. Made from 1948-1978, SCSW says it was never cataloged. Unknown numbers but certainly a rare, valuable revolver!

The Model 45 is an M&P in 22 LR. It is often called the "Post Office" model as the USPS used these guns for training their postal inspectors. The are found in both 4" and 6" with the 4" more commonly seen. A scarce gun and interesting M&P variant.

Beautiful! Have wanted one for decades but, never been able to find a shooter.

David Carroll currently has the 4"w/box rated ay 99%+ and matching grips for $3500!

Pretty high for something that won't feed your family?

Certainly not interested in 22 revolvers, but always kind of wondered why S&W never made an fixed sight, M&P or model 10 type gun in .22LR. Guess they did, but most of us never knew it.

It is my understanding they were built as a training weapon for the USPS and some for the USCG.
