Forsmithers,

I have been looking for a 6450 for along time.. If you ever think about trading or selling that beauty PLEASE let me know first.

VERY VERY VERY nice auto....
 
My RSR 6592 that I picked up a couple years ago. This is the best shooting gun I have ever had. Never misfires and shoots like a dream.

I just had a 4690/9mm given to me. This is my first handgun and have been around long guns my entire life. I have shot hand guns, but never been an owner.

The gun feels great to me and is in very nice condition. I broke it down to clean today and will be looking to buy some ammo soon to take out to the range and get used to.

I only have the one clip and holds 12 rounds. What options do I have for clips and where do I get them? Also what holsters will work and where should I get them? Is this considered a M&P? (Military & Police ? ? ?) I do not see much on the internet about these guns, and think this is the place to find the info I need.

BTW, what are your thoughts of this model, good and bad points? I see there were 293 made, seems low but fewer were made of other models. I am not sure of the value of this gun compared to others in the list above. I am not looking to sell it, but curious of what I have.

Thanks in advance for your help and inputs,
Mike

My 1999 RSR 945. I have the original laminated grips, but here it has some custom Hogue checkered kingwood.

I gotta know. What is RSR an abreviation for?

RSR is a national distributor of sports equipment. They currently go by RSR Group. The RSR "transitional" guns were made with some leftover 2nd generation parts and new 3rd generation parts. My 6450 above was a 645 slide and barrel on a 4506 frame. Since these were not true 2nd or 3rd generation guns they added a digit to what would have been their 2nd generation model number. The post above with the model number decoding is most helpful in figuring out the various model numbers.
 
How can I find out what parts my 4690 are made of?

I called RSR and they don't want to talk to a non-dealer. Bummer ! I went to a local gun dealer and he said right away that it looked to hold a clip from a 6906 and verified with his own personal clip. He then led to saying they are VERY hard to come by. He is looking into it right now.

I personally did not like this guy. He was very "well this and well that" and when I asked for a value, he went to his book and said he could not find anything. I believe that, as I already had someone look it up and they did not find it either. He then told me he got his SS 6906 for $250 and my 4690 was at most $350. I did explain that there were only 293 made, and he said that did not mean much.

Looking at the RSR web site for clips, the mag for a S&W 6906 looks exactly like my magizine. I pulled the part number (MGSW19351) and began searching for them and only found 2 places that had them in stock. All the rest were sold out and could not be backordered. I am thinking this is the right magizine, but would love to know for sure before ordering.

Is there any info that can be shared with me to help ensure I am looking at the correct part?


Thanks in advance,
Michael
 
The 4690 is just the predecessor or "prototype" version of the 6906 if I recall correctly. If you do a search on RSR guns you'll find a thread that was made not too long ago on them.

The gun should use any and all parts that the 6906 does.
 
RSR transitionals are basically third gen frames with second gen slides, mags for either a 469/ 6904 or 669/ 6906 will work....
