The Smith & Wesson Model 4506 is a semiautomatic pistol chambered for the powerful .45 ACP round. It is a third-generation pistol belonging to Smith & Wesson’s 4500 series and was produced from 1988 to 1999. The Model 4506 can also be used to fire the .45 Super rounds by using special springs.

The Model 4506 is very popular with law enforcement agencies because of its tremendous stopping power. The body of the pistol is constructed from stainless steel and is highly resistant to corrosion.

A variant of the Model 4506 called “Model 4506-1” is also available. This version features a round trigger guard unlike the 4506 where it is square shaped. It also features laser etching instead of S & W roll marks. Other than these minor changes, the Model 4506-1 is almost identical to the Model 4506.
