Smith & Wesson 4506

[Aqualung]

As far as handicapping, i beat enough of the autofeeders while shooting revolver, so i'm not worried to much

Hmmmm, I'm not a bad wheelgunner either (shot a 121.25 on an IDPA Classifier practice session yesterday with my S&W 66 snubbie). Maybe we can race our revolvers some day.

I've taken a close look at mine and don't see any sign of that. However, I have sent an e-mail to S&W asking about that being an issue.

Got an answer back this morning from Steve Roach, S&W customer service concerning a question of frame cracking on the 4506 ;

Hello Johnn,

We have not heard of this being an issue with that model at all. Hope this helps.

Regards, Steve.

Hey! nice to meet another wheelie!

Ive got many of the stainless steel smiths, they are big robust and accurate, 5 inch and 4.25 inch versions

Built like a Russian tank - reliable and accurate too, great guns.

love my smith's have 4506-1 4566 & 1066 love them all but shoot more with the 66's shorter barrels

I regret selling my 4506. Shot great, good SA trigger, very accurate, fit my hand very well.

I have one and picked up a couple of spare mags for it at a local gun show a while back.



I took it to the range to scare the spiders out of the barrel last week, for the first time in quite a while. A guy at the club that I used to work with expressed a definate interest in it. I may end up parting with it as I also have a custom 1911 and a Kimber Super Match II.

If your gonna sell, you might get a good dollar if listed on the EE.

True enough but I've indicated to the guy at the club, I'd give him first 'kick at the cat'. I've got a High Standard Supermatic Citation he's interested in as well, so.............. .

Question, is the backstrap on yours straight as it appears to be on the photo in the signature line of your post? Or, is it curved as mine is as seen in post # 29?

 

[GunGuy34]

ah ive spent enough money lately, ill stick with my colt 45 for now.

 

[hunterhenderson]

mine is straight, i have curved ones as well, prefer straight

The straight backstrap along with the round trigger guard were the last changes S&W made on their 3rd gen large frame pistols from 1991 till the end of production.
