The limited “DVC” serial prefix affirms its commemorative status and nods to the IPSC motto, Diligentia, Vis, Celeritas. With only about 5,000 units produced, the Model 745 IPSC edition remains scarce on today’s market.
A matte stainless frame paired with a blued slide delivers the distinctive two-tone appearance, while the slide carries the IPSC 10th Anniversary roll-mark for quick recognition among collectors.
The 5-inch match-grade barrel with integral press-fit bushing and adjustable single-action trigger provide the accuracy and crisp break demanded in competition. An extended, checkered magazine release and fully adjustable target sights round out its practical-shooting pedigree.
Checkered walnut grips with S&W medallions complement the stainless frame and offer a secure, comfortable hold. The serrated spur hammer and manual thumb safety keep the controls familiar and purposeful.
