That really is a big beautiful pistol. In my opinion, Smith & Wesson got it right when they built the 4506-1. I own mine thanks to your direct influence! 
Question for you. Do you prefer the Hogues to the original nylon (Delrin?) stocks that came on the gun? Were Hogues dept. issue for you folks? I have never tried Hogues on mine, and always though they might make the pistol a bit too large for my hands. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: This 4506-1 (.45acp) was my duty gun for 20 years. It was preceded by a S&W Model 64 (.38spl +P+), and now my duty gun is a S&W M&P .40sw. I would still pick the 4506 as my favorite of the three. The only repairs were three trigger play springs and new sights. The trigger play spring only holds slack out of the trigger when cocked, it does not affect functioning. I wore out three of those springs due to regular shooting and dry fire!
