Built with an all-stainless slide, frame, and barrel, the 4506-1 delivers the durability and balance associated with S&W's Third-Generation pistols. The matte stainless finish complements its utilitarian design and resists glare.
The dash-1 revision incorporates strength updates associated with the 10mm Model 1006 lineage. This example has the rounded trigger guard and a full-length dust cover without an accessory rail, both consistent with the -1 configuration.
Its DA/SA operating system uses a slide-mounted safety/decocker, with additional safeties including a magazine disconnect and a firing pin block. A checkered magazine release, spurred hammer, and external extractor round out the controls.
Fixed Novak-pattern Lo-Mount 3-dot sights provide a clear sight picture, with a front blade featuring a white dot and a low-mount rear with two white dots. The black one-piece wraparound synthetic grip with a straight backstrap offers secure purchase on the full-size frame.
Chambered in .45 ACP, it has a standard 8+1 capacity and a 5-inch barrel. The pistol measures approximately 8.5 inches overall and weighs about 40.5 oz unloaded. Markings include "Mod. 4506-1" on the frame and ".45 AUTO" on the barrel hood. Made in the USA.
