Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Model 945-1 Performance Center is a masterfully crafted .45 ACP semi-automatic pistol, designed for precision shooting and competition. As a product of the Smith & Wesson Performance Center, this firearm showcases meticulous hand-fitting and attention to detail. It features a 5-inch stainless steel match-grade barrel, enhanced with a titanium-coated spherical barrel bushing that ensures superior accuracy and durability. The barrel ramp is hand-polished for smooth feeding, and the beveled magazine well facilitates quick and efficient reloads. The stainless steel slide and frame are bead-blasted for a sleek matte finish, while the polished slide flats create an elegant two-tone appearance. The slide-to-frame fit is exceptionally tight, a hallmark of Performance Center craftsmanship. Functional front and rear checkering (with the front strap checkered at 30 lines per inch) enhances grip security, and the fish scale-style slide serrations provide a distinctive aesthetic while improving handling.

Aimed at serious competitors and discerning shooters, the Model 945-1 is equipped with a skeletonized match trigger that breaks cleanly at 2 ¾ to 3 pounds, with zero overtravel and straight, linear movement. The upgraded Wilson Combat adjustable rear sight pairs with a dovetail-mounted post front sight, ensuring pinpoint accuracy. For enhanced safety and control, the pistol includes an ambidextrous frame-mounted thumb safety and a grip safety integrated into the short beavertail, allowing for a secure and natural grip. This particular example comes with nine 8-round magazines, making it well-suited for extended-range sessions or competition use. With 10 cataloged variations, later models incorporated a round-in-chamber indicator cutout for added safety. The Model 945-1 remains one of the finest hand-built pistols from Smith & Wesson’s Performance Center, blending reliability, precision, and competition-grade performance into an iconic package.
