I don't own a 1911 or a Glock, but I do own a 4506.

Quoted: Quoted: Why are you hiding the SN? Nobody else would want that piece of shit.  Count me as one of the guys who would. The S&W 4506 is one of my all-time favorite handguns. Accurate, reliable, and durable. They are vastly underrated handguns. Heavy as hell, but that just makes it more fun to tune somebody up with. I've worked on quite a few Smith autos, I worked for a department that issued two different kinds. The ones between the M59 and the M&P are crap. The XXX and XXXX arent' quite as bad as the Sigmas but they really do suck. If I have to use an old Smith auto give me a 39 or a 59. |

Wayne hear is a dying breed, he knows these 3rd gen S&W ruled the holsters of I bet 75% of Police officers in the 1980's through 1990's who carried auto guns They're outstanding pistols. I have a 908 that runs like a champ. Surprisingly soft-shooting, too, compared to most 9mm+P compacts. The accuracy isn't fantastic, but it's more than good enough. I love the trigger. Other than that, what can you say? It looks good, so there's that, and the construction is rock-solid. Oh yeah, and they're only $300-400 on the used market, depending on model. Put that in your 1911 pipe and smoke it.

You're really calling someone "to ignorant"? 2. Use of the proper terminology is important when it can cause confusion, but I don't believe anyone would ever understand a "jam" to be anything other than a malfunction. Further, "jam" refers to a specific kind of malfunction, so the term arguably communicates more information than your alternatives. This isn't like improper use of clip vs. magazine, where the terms refer to different things; it's more like referring to a slide as serrated vs. grooved. |

Highly under rated pistols. I love my 4506. I would like to pick up a nice condition 4566. Most of the haters have never even fired one. It is much easier to regurgitate internet mythology than to go out and actually shoot the real deal. And yes, I also own two Colt M1911's, and my 4506 is the better shooter.

They're OK, I guess. I had one a few years ago but just couldn't seem to grow to like it. I stuck with my 1911 instead.
For my money if you want a .45 get either a 1911 or a Glock. There, I said it, either one is a good fighting pistol. |

Goodoleboy, I had a 5906 (a different animal , I know) that I put untold thousands of rounds through. It ran like a top ALL THE TIME. There's a lot of Smith hate in this thread, but don't worry about it. Enjoy the new gun! I would maybe have an extra extractor handy, though. Hopefully you won't need it.

my rock island armory 1911 tactical has never failed me. round count is probably around 750-1000. i attribute the reliability to the gun not being super tight in fitting and metalform 7rd mags.

I want a 1911 but afriad to get one that it seems they are more bad makers of 1911's than good..I dont want a super cheap one, but dont want a high dollar gun either..Seems the 1911 has evolved into a piece of shit by some makers, and some kept it reliable..Not sure as the expsensive brands I hear are crap and the cheap Rock islands are more reliable.Im so damm lost in 1911 shopping I get headaches when even thinking about it and getting advice will run from users of cheap Rock islands to guys who insist a $1000 gun will be the only reliable 1911's.. One day though Ill own one |

I've got a 4553 TSW, 1076 and a 3913. All are Glock type reliable with any ammo, accurate, built like tanks and have excellent sights and triggers. In fact, the 4553 TSW, which is my daily carry, has a DAO pull that can rival the better S&W revolvers I've shot and own. Of course it's starts at around 1/3 cock, but it's still light and butter smooth. The worse thing about the 3rd gen S&W guns is how hard it is to get holsters and accessories, S&W just made so many different variations that no holster maker has all the proper blue guns.
