S&W 4567

[Chefjon]

I'm brand new to the S&W family and just picked up a used 4567 at a local dealer here in NH. I debated over lots of new and used pistols, but because I have large "man hands", I wanted something with a bit more heft. I settled on the 4567 because it just feels "right".

I love hearing all the positive reviews and good stories about this pistol. This is my first, and I'm off to an indoor range on Wednesday to start getting comfortable and familiar with what I hope will be an old friend for many, many years. Comments and suggestions for a n00b are all welcome and appreciated.

Thanks Jon! I can already feel the obsession welling up inside. I've been all over, up 'n down the Smith & Wesson website as well as drooled over the http://smith-wessonforum.com/smith-wesson-semi-auto-pistols/78699-post-pics-your-smith-autos.html thread on this forum. This is gonna be fun ...

I purchased mine in 1991 or 92 and was told by the owner it was one of only three in Louisiana that time. Mine has a three digit serial number. It is my primary defense weapon and was my packing piece for a number of years. I have the original grips as well. It is a shooter first and is the only auto that I have never had a malfunction on regardless of the ammo I have put through it. I am certainly not afraid to touch up the holster wear with Perma Blue touch-up pen. Its not perfect but but looks better than bare metal.

I recently joined an indoor range (xmas gift from wife) so that when I get rained out I can go shoot. I also introduced my grown daughter to pistol shooting last week and she was more comfortable with that big 4567 than anything other than the vulnerable S&W mod 10 and keeps the bullets in the black. I am so pleased with it I am now on the hunt for a 5906.

I thought Denver PD issued 4567's in the 90's.

Sorry to drag up an old post but they were on the approved list, not issued.

Now retired, I decided to chek the history of my 4567 I bought off a retired Seal in 1991. Carried it fulltime till retiring. It stayed with me into Kosovo in 2000, and Iraq in 04. Its never failed me, but didnt like fact few good lasers were designed to fit it

The original Trijicons still work, and monthly service has kept it like new, and its #151 of production...its still on me almost 24/7...wife has some say ya know...and its still my preferred weapon at annual quals so I keep my certifications in state and federal levels

Thanks for sharing your long-term relationship with your 3rd Gen 4567 and welcome to the Forum. I still have my first love (4567) in the safe beside my bed, but since I purchased it in 2012 -- Wow! Six years goes by fast! -- I've given it several stablemates: SW1911 Pro, 645, SD9, M&P9c, M&P Shield, as long as several non-S&W pistols: a Wilson Combat Tactical Elite and a Desert Eagle 50AE.

Continue to enjoy your awesome firearm!

I love the two tone look. There's been one for sale on GB, for like, 6 months. For $1200.
