After searching for at least a year, I finally located a fine specimen of the exact pistol I've been seeking...a Smith & Wesson 4506-1 with functional, adjustable tritium sights. :dancingbanana



This replaces the one I sold years ago (which I've been kicking myself for ever since :doh). I tried to find a pic of Don Johnson packing one, since his character Sonny Crocket carried a 4506 in the final season of Miami Vice, but I had to settle for a pic of Denzel Washington from Training Day.



I don't know how he carried two of these cannons in a double shoulder rig...at 42 oz. empty, just one of them weighs enough.

Now just try not to get into trouble the next time you shoot it! :rolf

Love that gun. Makes me want to replace the compact 3rd gen. I had for years and sold to a friend a couple years ago.
Now that is an awsome piece.
How did you like it at the last IDPA match? Looked nice.
4506-1

Wow! That was my second 45!!! What a great gun!!! I had alot of fun shooting paladins w/ it.
I have been wanting another but have not been able to find one w/ the configuration I want or in good shape!

Nice find!!!!!

The gun functioned flawlessly, but I still need a little more trigger time on it to get a better feel for it. It has just about zero recoil, the darn thing is so heavy. :thumsup

Because I am such a gun and movie geek, I found some more examples of the S&W 4506 in cinema...

Keanu Reeves' character Detective Tom Ludlow used a fixed-sight variant to blow away three Korean gang-bangers in Street Kings.



Kristanna Loken's T-X character took a 4506 from an LAPD officer in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines and used it to terminate several future resistance leaders.



And of course, Michael Chiklis' character Detective Vic Mackey regularly carries a 4506-1 in The Sheild.



:D
