SW 4691?

[jrw113]

Was on Glock Talk in their guns for sale section and came across a gentleman selling a SW 4691. Never heard of one. His info states it is a transitional model to the 6904. Something like 200 made. Any input?

Not sure of the count but they would actually be 469-1s'. There are several variations between the 2nd and 3rd generation guns. Some have the dovetailed front sights, some have a one-peice grip.

Could be. The box shows 4691 and the stamp on the frame says the same. Doesn't appear to be a - in/on either. But your explanation does explain things a little better. From the pictures it looks like a dovetailed front sight and one piece grips.

The 4691 was made up of 2nd and 3rd gen parts for RSR in 1990 and had the RSRxxxx serial numbers.

Besides the full-sized models, there was also a 4690.
There were half as many 4691s made compared to the 4690.

First off, thanks to JRW113 for being intrigued enough by my GlockTalk listing to get me to (finally) join the S&W Forum.

snw19_357 is exactly right. What I have is a 4691 with Serial # RSR14xx.

Searching this forum for '4691' I found a late 2010 thread titled "Mod 6592 - RSR 3299" where in post #7 a user gives seemingly credible info for several 'transitional' RSR models including the 4691. For 4691 it says 153 were made within serial range RSR1294-RSR1468.

I put it for sale on GlockTalk because I frequent there. In next short while I'll also list it for sale here if I can figure out the system.

'Why' I've been asked......I'm shooter not a collector, so it might be more valuable to someone who will appreciate it's rarity. And it will be priced that it makes it worth my while, and if it doesn't sell then, oh well, back in the safe.

mod 4691 rsr1422 frame stamped 23009 c

my father in law got this in a trade. I do some gun work so he ask me what it was. and how to clean it. so here I am n can't get it apart. could somebody help??????

Coinguy, if yours is typical of other 2nd and 3rd generation S&W semi-autos, they're easy to take apart.

1. Drop the magazine.
2. Push the slide backward until the small cutout on the left side aligns with the rounded end of the magazine locking lever. Holding the slide in whatever way will allow you to keep the cutout and lever aligned, press on the magazine locking lever from the other side (where only its end is visible, protruding from the side of the frame), and then grasp the lever from the left side of the slide, and pull the lever out completely.
3. This will allow you to push the unlocked slide forward and off of the pistol completely.
4. You'll then see the main spring and pin (careful taking it off so it doesn't go shooting off into space), and the barrel, which can be easily removed from there.
