Model 945 photos, please?

[sasu]

I am planning to buy a Model 945 Performance Center. There are not many photos of those on this forum. Would you care to post some?

I would also be interested in the level of accuracy to expect from this gun. My 945 would become a competition gun so every bit of accuracy helps.

You can find a photo of the Model 945PC on the S&W website. Of all the 45 ACP semi auto pistols I ever owned, the S&W 945PC and Pardini GT-45 were the most accurate and reliable right out of the box with excellent triggers. I used both of them in bullseye pistol and practical pistol matches. I finally sold the Pardini GT-45 but have kept the S&W 945PC. My gun consistently delivers 1/2 to 3/4 inch groups at 50 ft. with 185 gr. LSWC or 200 gr. LSWC. The only minus of the S&W 945 is that it does not use magazines or grips which fit the 1911 frame styles - a small price to pay for perfection.

Go to GunBroker and search for S&W 945 and/or Performance Center 945. You can get pictures and prices. Now is a good time to buy the high dollar PC 945s as the prices are depressed by the uncertainty in the economy.

I have three, wouldn't mind adding a 5" blued 945 with the wavy serrations (don't see too many of those around). Here's my three:

5" stainless:

4" stainless:

4" blued:

I really like the 945 model, and I'm sure you'll enjoy yours as well.

I need a 3 3/4" one but they're extremely hard to find and quite pricey.

Thanks! Your photos help me pass the six months or so while I wait for the gun. I live overseas, you see...

Tom, what's the story with your middle 5" blued model? I've never seen a 945 with straight slide serrations before...fishscales, yes, and wavy serrations (ala PC1911), yes...but never straight. Is that a one-off custom order or...?

IT is a black 945-1 from Lew Horton in 2002.

Interesting. Thanks for posting -- I thought I knew every variant there was of the 945 model, so it was great to learn there was (at least) one I wasn't aware of.

Here is a 945 (no dash)

Accuracy? This is the very 1st sight in target I shot, many years ago. It only gets better from there.

The 945's with the hex head grips screws... after market or did they come that way at one time?

I'd like to replace the slotted screws on mine.

 

[at-home-daddy]

Two of my three have the hexhead, and all three are stock.

Beautiful Tailgunner. Couldn't you find a lower serial #?

I just DROS'd a wavy seration in the BAM00xx range.
