The 4513TSW is a compact, single-stack .45 ACP with a 3.75-inch stainless barrel and 7+1 capacity, offering a balance of power and size in S&W’s metal-frame Third-Generation lineup. Its DA/SA trigger system includes a slide-mounted safety/decocker and a spurred external hammer for versatile operation.
This example carries the early TSW bolt-on dustcover accessory rail retained by two screws. That feature distinguishes it within the TSW family and provides a practical mounting interface consistent with early-production 4513TSW pistols.
Construction highlights include a matte stainless slide over a natural/light gray aluminum-alloy frame, front-strap checkering, and a one-piece wraparound textured synthetic grip. The slide shows rear cocking serrations, beveled edges, a lowered and flared ejection port, and an external extractor. Fixed low-mount dovetail sights are fitted, with a Trijicon-marked front blade and a low-mount rear notch.
Factory provenance elements are present, including the blue hard case with label noting product code 404551. The label code 2318 indicates production in 2002 on day 318, aligning with the 2002 manufacture date. The slide is marked "45 TACTICAL" with the S&W crest, consistent with the TSW series.
