Finally

[NY Chamorro]

finally got to the range to shoot the S&M 4506-1 I picked up, has about the same recoil as my Glock 43 9mm. I'm really going to love this gun...Was thinking about not shooting it, since it hasn't been shot ever, but how could I pass up the opportunity. Boy am I glad, what a great shooting 45, even the Mrs. had a go at it.

Congrats, They are excellent .45's and built like a tank to last more than one lifetime.

Nice. A solvent soaking dish is your friend.

I also own a model 4516-2. It's the mid size version of the 4506.
Also an excellent S&W .45 and an absolute pleasure to shoot.

Nice, I just ordered the hogue grips for mine.
the only gripe I had, was the 8th round was pushing out the sides of the mag.
