OK. I want three of those! I'd pay up to $1000 for one without even a second thought..at that point the price is still less than a 1911 and we know the 4506 will work.
I'd like them to be de-cock only and then have the de-cock lever pop back up like the Beretta 92Gs.

Oh yes, a pop up decocker would be the cat's pajamas!
I would buy minimum of two, easy.
S&W are you listening?

Wringing hands in anticipation.
Make a scandium framed 4506....melonited of course....NO RAIL....checkered front strap...I'll take two.
With as much profit as they make off the tupperware guns, I don't see them bothering with any other pistols........unless a serious flaw in the M&P reveals itself.
Ruger might make something folks want though.

Very nice!
Has anyone ever converted a 4500 series grip/frame to 645 configuration?

Oh man! That is tooooooo sweeeeeeeet!
I would love a Scandium framed 645 fitted up like my Shorty 45. I would sell whatever I had to get two of those.

S&W put all of their eggs in the polimer basket many moons ago and would prefer that demand for the 3rd generation guns would fade into the sunset. However, many police departments standardized on the 3rd generation guns and S&W is still supplying them to distributors that supply those police departments. You will find no advertisement for them and they sell for upwards of $900.00.

Great to hear, I still qualify with my S&W 4506-3, along with my Dept. Glock!
S&W should listen and bring back the 4506!

Anything new on the 4506 and LAPD!
I have not had contact with my LAPD counterparts in some time.
Our firearms guy contacted the LAPD firearms section to try and get a copy of the class syllabus. They said they would get back to him. That was six weeks ago.
Last word I heard was there were quite a few - and more than initially expected - switching to the 3rd generation pistols from the Glock 21 and Glock 22. More from the Glock 22 to the 3rd gen 45.
Of course, the Glock fanboys are calling this "a step backward." Whatever. Having shot and observed many Glocks during qualifications over the years, I disagree with them concerning "Glock perfection." Regards 18DAI.

I sure would like to see that course if you get it. We're always looking for new firearms training courses.
This is what happens when you drink the cool aid. In their eyes, there couldn't be any other pistol that anyone would want to stake their lives on. The fact that so many would be willing to carry a weapon that was "discontinued" years ago shows that glocks are not the be-all and end-all of pistol design.Last word I heard was there were quite a few - and more than initially expected - switching to the 3rd generation pistols from the Glock 21 and Glock 22.

S&W needs to wake up and listen, not everybody wants a Glock or M&P, the could still sell many 3rd generation 4506's. The should still make yearly limited runs, I would bet money the would sell out quickly!
Maybe they are being allowed to change because of problems with Glocks ? Like triggerbar/safety plunger issues,causing failures to fire, recoil assemblies needing to be constantly replaced, so the gun will function,hence the new assemblies on new glock that wont fit on the older models.Rails being torn out of the frames,barrels being shot out ,magazine follower and spring problems ,just wondering if they have had any of these type issues and of course Its probably not Glock fault.

I would pay double suggested retail for one of those as described!

I have experienced large frame Glocks that will fire all day long with a quick hammer trigger press and will fail to fire with a slow controlled press. the safety plunger is a battering ram for the firing pin!!!!
of course the fix is the +trigger bar...usually
