NOW UPDATED with Pics: “Late Model” 4506

[Frank Black]

That's a real nice pistola right there.
You gonna tote it in an old school leather shoulder rig?

LOL!

Well, that's certainly possible since I already have a well-worn, mid-'90s Galco SH for my S&W 1006. Both being 5" guns, fitment shouldn't be an issue. Same for the mags, I assume.

Pics of my minty M645 and the newly-arrived M4506.

Old School is still cool.

Frank Black -- very nice! Did you replace the original grips or did it come to you that way? It's currently wearing hard-to-find grips from a frame-mounted decocker model.

Thanks, Todd! Yes, you are correct. The arched 'decocker' grip on the 4506 in the picture will be going on another frame-mounted decocker pistol. I have the 'correct' grip for the 4506.

I have never heard of anyone having magazine issues.

Personally I think you got that one for a great price. I currently own a 645 and a 4546. Both are terrific guns. I have read about all the different magazine options, but my two guns have NEVER malfunctioned no matter what variation I use. If I come across a gun like your's, with the rounded trigger guard, it will cost me some money. I much prefer that look.

Congratulations on a great purchase.

With any of the third generation .45 acp guns.
