Call up smith and Wesson customer service, they are very helpful and short hold times. You can get the number off the website and they will give you info based on your serial number.

4566TSW= .45 Tactical Smith & Wesson
Approx production dates 2000-2004 (could be newer).
Model # indicates:
45=.45ACP
6=non standard barrel length (probably 4.25")
6=stainless steel frame and slide
It is a "full size" (FS) "Traditional double action" (TDA)
The product code and serial # if you have it, will let me zero in on the specifics, including the production date. That is the only uncertainty I have.
This info is from the SCSW 3rd edition. I just looked it up briefly, but it should be pretty accurate. I can look a little more carefully if you have any questions or doubt.

No it is not, good catch. Helping a brother out with some info.....
The West Virginia State Police selected the Smith & Wesson Model 4566 TSW pistol and has received 750 pistols chambered in .45 ACP. The Wyoming Highway Patrol selected the Smith & Wesson M&P40 pistol and is currently in the process of transitioning its officers over to the new duty firearm.
West Virginia State Police After evaluating competitive firearms, officials within the West Virginia State Police Department chose to continue using the Smith & Wesson 3rd Generation
Model 4566 TSW metal frame pistols. The new firearms ordered by the department feature two new enhancements over the previously issued side arms. As requested by the department, the new pistols feature a Picatinny-style equipment rail for optional accessories
and a Melonite® finish for increased durability.
With the deployment of the new pistol, Department officers are currently using Smith & Wesson products for both their pistol and their patrol rifle duty firearms.
The West Virginia State Police issued the following statement regarding the new firearms:
“The West Virginia State Police Department has selected the Smith & Wesson 4566 TSW pistols in addition to the recent procurement of the Smith and Wesson M&P15 patrol rifles. Smith & Wesson’s Law Enforcement support team has been exceptional in the understanding and insight provided for the selection of these weapons for the West Virginia State Troopers. The West Virginia State Police expects to maintain this professional relationship with Smith & Wesson to ensure that its troopers are adequately equipped to help ensure the safety of the public and the law enforcement officers themselves.”
