That's the gun I want very badly but will never have.
I never thought that I would find one, but I walked into a gun shop years ago and there it was. Did not have to think too long. If I could pull my pistol from a holster and fire as fast as I got my credit card out, I would be a combat shooting champion.

Good price, I paid a little under $500 in the late 1980s for just the M45-2, no box.

You shoot your Model 45's?
Sometimes you can even get the box.
Enjoy,

I saw one for sale about 10 years ago at $1,100. Last one was a couple years back priced a little north of 2K. I COULD buy one, but I won't. I can't justify spending that kind of money on a toy.
Of course, I did drop 3K on an RM (that everyone now says is worth no more than $1,500). But for a 22, I'll just shoot my 22 CM and pretend it doesn't have adjustable sites.

The longer tube makes up for the non-adjustable sights. Looks pretty good that way also.

I agree, no way I would pay the prices asked today for one, but 30 years ago the prices for most S&Ws were very reasonable.

I love these and would love to find one at I price I can afford. For now, the closest I can come is it's competitor from Hartford, the .22 Colt Official Police. (Please forgive me for using the C word here). This is a hoot to shoot and surprisingly accurate despite having fixed sights. My .22 O.P. is a dual-tone from 1952 with original Coltwood plastic stocks:
