When did something happen regarding your S&W semi-auto that could qualify as a miracle?
Ill start with my own story. Today I received my cell phone deposit refund , and it was a rather large sum of money that was returned.
Thus I walked into my local gun store on the hunt for a more concealable firearm than my set of double stack 9mm pistols.I walked in thinking id be buying a Bersa 380. Some might know where this was going, but I sure didn't at the time. As I lay eyes on the gun case I notice two S&W's with bobbed hammers, one of them stainless.
The tag said "S&W 4566, 3 mags, box, $399.99"
I compare the two pistols, and realize the S&W is better built, with a larger caliber, and is a single stack which is just the ticket for better concealability.
One 4473 call in and cash transaction later I walked out with my shiny new to me 4566, which on later discovery not only had 3 mags & Novak night sights but came with an unopened Wolf recoil spring, sealed in the plastic. Gun doesn't seen to need it as I was able to put all the rounds fired right on the can outdoors at the 3 yard distance give or take, very soft recoil.A Beretta 92 shooting +P has worse recoil than this sweetheart gun.
She's worn, but has clearly had a better home than most S&Ws her age. I intend to uphold that legacy.
Speaking of care, I get home to discover that it fits like a glove in my Galco Beretta 92F shoulder rig.What more can a man ask for.
Fresh from all that good news I called the gunsmith toiling on my 5906's bum extractor for an update. He just completed the project today and range tested the firearm, so she'll be in the mail en route back home after tomorrow.
Oh, you want pictures? Ask and ye shall receive.On the topic of asking, can anyone here date code my 4566, serial # TDM73XX?
With the 2nd round fired through it today.
And the 2nd Mag destroyed the can .
