Ok, some of you S&W gun nuts... Tell me why this is so special. Im loving the look, but is it worth them big bucks? http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/...75654_757900_757896_ProductDisplayErrorView_Y Jim
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. Jim
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. Jim
The 2 , I own. Nothing fancy, the Ar has never been fired. The pistol is dead on accurate, good squirrel gun. Jim
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.
