S&W 645 - Am I loosing my sanity?

[BigBoy99]

I bought my first S&W 645 about 3-4 months ago. Really a super gun. In fact, I liked it so much I bought another! At least I can justify it because now I can have one in each hand. One of my idiosyncrasies is I detest plastic or rubber grips. All of my S&W hand guns have to have wooden grips. (The original grips are put in labeled baggies for the purest who likes original grips.) The grips on the two S&W 645 are from Hogue and are checkered Coco Bola wood. To me, it makes them look really cool.

Perhaps I think I'm sane now but if I buy a third one, then I guess I could be considered to be crazy,

645

No when you buy the 3rd your a serious collector.

Two is merely prudent. When you get above four you are getting strange.

A friend of mine owns a 645 which he purchased new in the 1980s. Out of the box, the trigger was a little rough, but after a couple hundred rounds, it really smoothed out. Very well-made gun. Hope you get years of enjoyment from yours.

Those guns look great Bill. I just bought one from a forum member here to replace the one I foolishly sold back in the late 80's. Only thing I never liked was the red ramp front sight. When I saw one for sale that had a different front sight it was an omen. Had to have it.

Really like those grips. May have to visit Hogue's web site. Thanks for posting the pics.

Nice 645's! I have three at this time. I just could not pass up he last one for the price. One of my favorites for the range.

Nice guns.

I am pretty happy with the one that I have. Although I need to find one with the straight back strap as I prefer that. Mine has the curved back strap.

Alas, I don't have a 645, but there are a couple S&W pistols I have more than one of.

Three 39's (one is a no-dash)
Two 639's
Two 52's
Two 745's
Two 4006's

They're like kids, you love them all and they are similar but different in their own way and you have a connection to each of them!

I agree with Sevens nothing wrong with having multiples of the same gun (especially 3rd gens)

I have:
4-3954's
4-4014's
2-4054's
2-4516's
2-4556's
2-4596's
2-5903ssv's
2-5905's
2-5926's
2-6944's

But just 1 645 & 745...645's are great guns...more the merrier

Cheers!!!

Congrats on a couple of fine looking 645's. Keep buying them and be known as a 645 collector.

It looks like you are wanting to become a member of the "have you ever bought 3 of the same gun club....."

 

[lawdog530]

Good God man!!! You have Smithitis really, really bad. You need insurance coverage around $1M to protect all the pistols in your collection from fire or theft. Or you could send some to me and I'll keep them safe for you!

Certainly nothing crazy about this accumulation.....and three isn't crazy....it's merely sufficient

 

[flagman1776]

I still have my duty 645...

and another one I picked up last year.

"Am I losing my mind?"

Yes.

Don't fight it. It's easier that way

Instead of claiming one for each hand I think you should consider this: You have 8 possible trigger fingers and only 2 triggers..... keep shopping

Nice pair!
