The Smith & Wesson Model 4566TSW, often referred to as the “.45 Tactical Smith & Wesson,” is a scarce semi-automatic pistol chambered in .45 ACP with notable law enforcement provenance. Originally issued to the West Virginia State Police, with an estimated procurement of around 750 units, this model represents a specialized evolution of Smith & Wesson’s third-generation pistols.

The inclusion of factory night sights enhances low-light usability, reflecting its intended duty role.
A distinguishing feature of the 4566TSW is its integrated accessory rail, allowing for the attachment of tactical lights or other equipment—an upgrade over earlier service pistols of the same lineage. The checkered synthetic grips offer a secure and practical interface, contributing to consistent handling under duty conditions. Mechanically, the pistol operates with the proven reliability of Smith & Wesson’s semi-automatic action systems, making it both functional and historically significant. Due to its limited production and direct law enforcement association, the 4566TSW holds strong appeal among collectors, particularly those focused on police-issued firearms or late-era Smith & Wesson metal-frame designs.
