S&W 645 Tune Up

[jstanfield103]

I have always Loved S&W handguns. I have not had one in several years due to the money they cost (Budget Problems), so I always bought Ruger (P90's & Mark III) I sold my p90 a few years back to help me buy a S&W Model 41 (WOW what a great target pistol) will never get rid of it. I now wanted a 45 for home defense, and to keep with me while driving. I was going to buy another Ruger P90. But after searching much, I came across the S&W 645. I really like the 1911 model but I do not like a single action gun,in fact I hate them (had one, do not like to carry cocked and locked)so a 1911 was out of the question, but the 645 is the perfect gun in my eye's 1911 style with the double action. So I purchased one on GunBroker and yes it cost me too much but I got the one I wanted. My question is, a gun that old (1985-1988) should it be tuned? I did tune my model 41(1960 model)with all new springs, ejector and extractor. I was looking at Wolf springs for the 645, but do not see a 645 listed on their web page, will the 4506 have the same recoil and firing pin, extractor springs? I will have no idea how many rounds have been through this gun.
Any advice or info will be much appreciated, everything I have read about the gun is positive, I have read no negatives what so ever (except weight, no problem, not to be a hip gun anyway).
Thanks in advance
Jeff

Shoot the gun as is for 500 rounds then decide. Someone has already made several alterations...sights, porting,grips..makes me wonder what has been done internally.

Now you can watch The Shield on DVD and have the same gun as Vic. I l like the way 645's shoot.
