Last laugh scores Model 645

[galilman121]

So in another thread on 1076's I had posted:

A buddy of mine stumbled on to a estate sale where both a 2nd Gen 645 and a 1076 were being sold for under $500 each. He was wagging the 645 under my nose and failed to see the 1076 (s/n TFP24**), so I snatched it before he knew what had happened. He is always cash poor so I know in six months to a year he'll be selling me the 645 and then I'll have both. hahaha

Only way this would have been a happier story is if I had gotten the 1076 plus additional mags......but if wishes were horses, 1006 series mags would be plentiful.

Fast forward to today. My buddy was strapped for cash and I acquired the Model 645 from him. Life is good

Awesome deal. 645 is one of my favorite pistols, and my favorite .45

I love buddies that can't handle their finances...

He had it less than a month, and I had offered to loan him my spare 645 (stainless steel baseplate) mags, but now I have the pistol to go with my two 645 mags.

I just need to replace the Pachmayer grips with a set of factory S&W ones. I don't like the looks or the feel of Hogue or Pachmayer grips. I have a small box now of ones I've torn off my 2nd and 3rd Gen pistols.

I'm still waiting to find the flipped over Cartel cash truck where I find cases of 10mm 3rd Gen mags stashed under boxes of money.

" Wait what? They left the cash but took five cases of Smith Wesson 1000 series magazines???? Get on the Gringo gun forums and start watching the users posts!!! "
