Is this the S&@ semi-auto .45 ACP from about 10+ years ago? IF so, a bro of mine with Denver PD still carries one, he out shoots the heck out of the younger cops with their Glocks, etc.

I still carry my 4566. It has been 100% from day one! I love 3rd gen S&W, all 9 of mine have been 100% from day 1 with out a single malfunction. Can't say that about my Glocks. Looka the the 3rd row:

 The S & W model 4566 is a double action semi automatic pistol in .45 ACP. It is of good finish and quality, and is of stainless steel manufacture. The model 4586 is the same gun, but in a double action only version. Both of these guns are identical to the model 4506, exept for the barrel and slide, which are both a inch shorter. These guns are exellently balanced combat handguns, and their slightly smaller statue makes them easyer to carry around all day than their bigger brother. These guns have a eight round magazine.(pictured is the 4586) Weight: 2.4 lbs (1.09 kg) Caliber: .45 ACP Barrel: 4.25 inch (10.63 cm) Action: Double Action / Double Action Only Range: 165 ft (50 m) Payload: 8 + 1 Cost: $ 790 Made in: USA |

The 3rd Generation S&W's are good pistols. I've had various models in a number of different calibers over the years and they have all been very tough, robust and reliable weapons.
FWIW, the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife issues the 4566 (or a very similar model), or at least they did as of a few years ago. |

They're decent guns, I own an older 4506 that I bought used and it's been problem-free.
But when it comes to CCW, if I'm going to carry a steel full-sized .45, make mine a 1911 every time. |

I've got a M4506 but I would never consider it a good gun to carry. Its simply too
big and heavy for anything like that. I do think its great as a nightstand gun since its reliable (they can feed empty cases so you know they feed live ammo extremely well) and, if taken by the police after a home shooting, there is no great loss if its damaged or never returned since Smith autos aren't worth much. You can buy them for a song since they aren't very popular. |

You may want to read up on the current price of S&W autos. Prices are going up as they are getting harder to find. |
