One of the nicest 645's iv'e seen.. Great purchase.
Great looking 645. I just replaced the safety with one from a 4506 as I did't like the look of the screwed on safety lever. I just have to find some original matte factory grips like your and I will be set.
My 645 - obtained from my Father in law, who passed away recently, and like him - it's a classic..
I had one that had Novack fixed sights installed. Just for fun one day, I loaded a magazine with empty brass just to see if it would feed. It did. Every single case. I've never seen a semi-auto straight out of the box do that before.
I carried it for a few years as a duty weapon. I sold it about a year after I was involved in a shooting incident with a guy who thought he was going to kill me. Like a lot of things I've sold over the years, I wish I had it back. The serial was TBL-9433. Who knows, I may run across it again some day.
