Used Smith & Wesson 4506 45 ACP Stainless 8 Round Capacity Early 1990s

The Smith & Wesson Model 4506 is a full-size, stainless steel, semi-automatic pistol introduced in 1988 as part of Smith & Wesson’s third-generation pistol lineup. Chambered in .45 ACP, the 4506 was designed to offer durability and stopping power, making it a popular choice for law enforcement agencies and civilian shooters. Its rugged stainless steel frame and slide provide excellent durability, while its 5-inch barrel delivers improved accuracy.

This model features a double-action/single-action (DA/SA) trigger system, offering a smooth double-action pull for the first shot and a lighter single-action pull for subsequent shots. The pistol includes ambidextrous safety levers, a magazine disconnect safety, and a firing pin block, providing multiple safety features for the user. The 4506 also comes with an 8-round magazine, offering a respectable capacity for a .45 ACP firearm of its size.

Due to its weight and solid construction, the Smith & Wesson 4506 offers excellent recoil management, making it easier to control during rapid fire. Though discontinued in the late 1990s, it remains a highly regarded model for collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate the craftsmanship and reliability of third-generation Smith & Wesson pistols. Its robust design, safety features, and chambered-in .45 ACP make it a classic choice for those seeking a full-sized defensive or duty pistol.
