The 4506-1 is a recoil-operated, DA/SA design with an ambidextrous slide-mounted safety/decocker, a firing pin block, and a magazine disconnect. It uses a spurred hammer and a smooth curved trigger, giving the shooter a traditional Third Generation control layout.
The slide features an external extractor and vertical serrations, with fixed low-mount 3-dot sights set in Novak-pattern cuts for a clean, snag-resistant profile. The front sight carries a single dot, and the rear uses a two-dot arrangement.
The frame and slide are stainless steel with a matte stainless finish. A one-piece wraparound black synthetic grip with the S&W logo provides a solid hold and completes the classic Third Generation look.
Chambered in .45 ACP with a standard 8+1 capacity, this full-size pistol uses a 5 in barrel and measures approximately 8.5 in overall, with an unloaded weight of about 41 oz. It was manufactured in the USA.
