I have a S&W 4505 , and I was wondering if anyone here knows how many were produced? THX Brent |

The model number would indicate a blued pistol, if I recall, but I never heard of the one you have. The "06" in 4506 would indicate a stainless model, an"03" usually an alloy frame, the "05" as in yours would be steel. I will look it up when I get off "work". Failing that or some other future comments, I would call S&W in person. |

Some more information for you, gunnagitcha. The 4505 was manufactured in 1990 and discontinued in '91, not a long production run, explaining why I never had the pleasure of even seeing one. Seems like the going value is about $100 less that it's stainless twin, the 4506, according to the Modern Gun Values book. |
| As far as I can remember, there were 1200 of the 4505 pistols produced. Most went to LE sales, I believe. I don't know about the value being lower, if it's in good shape. From my experience, value is about equal to a 4506 in the real world. There are folks that want the 4505 because of the limited production. The ones I've had were extremely accurate out of the box. |
