Smith and Wesson 4506
The Smith and Wesson 4506, a full-sized stainless steel DA/SA auto chambered in.45 ACP, is a 3rd generation DA/SA. This model was made from 1988 to 1999 and replaced the 2nd generation 645. My 4506-1 is shown with a round trigger guard and three dots sights. An earlier version had a squared trigger protector. As an option, adjustable sights were also available. The Smith and Wesson 4506 is an “traditional” double-action, recoil-operated, locked-breech pistol. It uses a Browning High-Power type locking mechanism that is integral to its barrel. The 4506 can only accept 8-round magazines. It features a 5″ barrel with a slide-mounted safety/ambidextrous decocker. Mine comes with Hogue wrap-around grips. Although they are thinner than the original polymer one-piece wrap-around grips, they are still hardy and a bit slippery. Hogue grips are bulkier than the original polymer, one-piece wrap-around grips. But who cares? The 4506 is not practical for concealed carry due to its large size and weight. The 4506 is a great range or house gun and it’s not too picky. It has happily ingested every type of ammunition I put in the magazine. This pistol is available in bulk at our shop.
More about the Smith and Wesson 4506
The 4506 is a beast. It is so massive that it is almost comical. It’s the first thing you notice when you lift it up. It’s huge! It is also heavy, weighing 3 pounds when fully loaded. It’s actually only slightly thicker than a 1911, and slightly heavier than the full-size 1911. I can assure you that these small changes make a huge difference. I have a full-size stainless 1911 IWB that I have carried and it has been fine. You’ll feel like you have an engine block in your pants if you do the same with a 4506. When I am at the range, it is open-carried in an old police retention pouch. This rig is used to test any new gun belt. I can test the 4506 to see if it won’t buckle.
According to some sources, the reason the 4506 was bulkier was because it was built on the 10mm 1006 slide/frame design. This pistol was also over-built, even for a 10mm.
