Im loving the look, but is it worth them big bucks?

That is an awesome lookin' 1911...but that price is a down payment on a new Jeep.

It's pretty to look at. But not 4 me. I can buy a AR & a SR1911 and dinner with that price lol

My LGS has both models 4" and 5" in his case for $1200 each.

I think thats one of the best looking pistols ever.

I would be interested if they shoot as good as they look.

I actually own the very first S&W .45acp semi-auto platform made in 1985...the Model 645. It wasn't a true 1911...as it was a double/single action pistol. The Model 745 was their very first single action 1911 venture...

A little trivia on the M645...

The S&W M645 was used in Miami Vice by the character Vice Detective Sonny Crockett in seasons 3 and 4 of the TV series.

Journalist Hunter S. Thompson took his own life with an S&W M645 on February 20, 2005 after battling numerous medical issues.

I can understand why they used it in the show, its darn purty.

Beautiful gun,

Must be a good reliable shooter too, suicide for sure.

Smiths have such a great reputation,dont think you could go wrong with any one of them. I only got 2.

I own four...

M645....45 ACP
M659....9mm
M629... 44 Mag
M13..... 357 Mag

The 2 , I own.

Nothing fancy,
the Ar has never been fired.
The pistol is dead on accurate, good squirrel gun.

The Scandium Alloy frame is one of the reasons for the high price.

I have a Smith and Wesson 1911PD with a Scandium Alloy frame.
