Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Model 4506 is a robust, all-steel semi-automatic pistol that exemplifies the rugged engineering and duty-focused design of Smith & Wesson’s third-generation handgun lineup. Introduced in the late 1980s, the 4506 was chambered in .45 ACP and built to meet the demands of law enforcement and military users who prioritized durability, controllability, and reliability over lightweight construction. Its full-size stainless steel frame and slide add substantial weight, which helps tame recoil and contributes to its reputation for smooth, predictable shooting. The 4506 operates in traditional double-action/single-action format with a slide-mounted safety/decocker, allowing the pistol to be safely carried with a round chambered while providing a long, deliberate first-shot trigger pull. It feeds from an 8-round single-stack magazine, reflecting its era and emphasis on grip comfort and reliability rather than high capacity. The pistol features a 5-inch barrel, fixed three-dot sights, and an ambidextrous safety on many examples, along with wraparound grips that fill the hand and enhance control. Known for exceptional mechanical longevity and the ability to digest a wide variety of .45 ACP loads, the Smith & Wesson 4506 earned widespread respect among law-enforcement agencies during the transition period from revolvers to semi-automatics. Today, it is appreciated by shooters and collectors alike as a classic service pistol—solid, accurate, and overbuilt—representing a time when duty handguns were designed to last a lifetime of hard use.
