Nice 4566 for $349! DOB?

[.455_Hunter]

Greetings,

One of my local gun shops has been an outstanding source for 3rd Gen Smiths. My 1006, 4014, 908 had already come from there, all at great prices. I love the tank feeling of my 1006, and had been thinking about trying to find a 1066 as a stablemate. Last week, this guy was hiding in the cabinet, and it will do just fine...

The mechanics seem to be perfect, with some holster wear to keep things honest. I really like the full hammer, plus the treat of non-MIM parts. I suspect it was an LEO or security company gun, given the wear and the rack number "386" electric-penciled into the magazine well.

No safe queen here! As soon as I get a couple of extra .45 mags and a proper holster, I fully expect it to become a potential HD & carry gun.

The serial number is TYW59XX. Any idea on a DOB?

Thanks,

Hunter

Thanks!

My 1006 and 4014 are in the same vintage.

I would have never guessed that while was I sitting in High School that S&W was making some of my future favorite guns...

I also have a 4014, if you are not aware yet, there were only ~500 of them made.

The size of the 4566 hits the sweet spot for me as do all the 4" SW 3rd gens. You got a very good deal on that one.

My M66 was made the year I graduated High School.
