What could possibly be cooler than a M4506

[BMCM]

Hmmm....?

Well, how about two of 'em

My Postman brought me the #71 gun today. I imagine these two could have both been built the same day being only 31 digits apart.

I sure am liking these transitional guns...Going to be on the lookout for a 4566 now

Might have to start working on my dual wielding skills too

Cheers

First thing I noticed: spurless hammer on your original one!

Was that some of your customizing, Bill, or was it made that way to begin with?

Congrats BMCM!

Indeed, the only thing better than a 4506 is a brace of them! Regards 18DAI

Yup, that was my doin'. Even given the generous tang on those grip frames, I still get hammer bite. So my sole remaining NOS spurless hammer goes on the new gun. The #71 gun will also get an updated ejector, an R1 sideplate, and a few internal+exterior enhancements just like the #40 gun.

Cheers

I see your pair of 4506s.

And raise you a pair of 1006s.

How about an original 645? GARY

Looks good to me. The 5606 is my favorite 45ACP handgun. Here is what mine looked like - before the boating accident.

Looks like #40 also enjoys the wider, 2nd gen trigger.

Will #71 also be sharing that joy?

Old "big ears" is the best adjustable sight ever designed for a combat pistol.

Trigger?... Yes, if I can source another NOS 2nd gen trigger I'll swap it out. I much prefer the feel of the wider trigger.

Sight?... I Couldn't agree more about the backsight. Yeah those sights elicit some strong opinions but... Show me any other adjustable pistol sight than can survive being dropped on concrete from a couple meters and not be rendered utterly useless if not completely destroyed.

Even more betterer with an illuminated slide installed

Yes yes, there's a tritium front out there on the pointy end too

In my opinion ... the 4516 is way cooler.

How about a pair of them!

What's not to love about those 3rd gens.

 

[Borderboss]

A friend used to compete with a 745 back a loooong time ago. I thought that thing was pretty cool.

 

[jughed440]

Gotta love the transitional 4506s. Very good looking 3rd Gens, and scarce too.

This one has a "TEP" prefix (sorry about the blurry pic).

 

[BAM-BAM]

Had one years ago.... and a Blue 4505..........also a 4516 and a 4513 with the 6rd magazines........... but if I could only have one ....

I got to say I really prefer my round trigger guard Novak sight 4566.

 

[Bakebfr480]

Hmmmmmmm.......I lost count.......not a fan here! I do see them in LGS's cheaply priced at times. May pick one up to use as trade fodder!
