S&W 4505

[S&W44]

I just bought a S&W model 4505 today and was wondering if anyone had any information on this model.It looks like a blued carbon steel version of the 4506.I've never seen one before.
Thanks

In that particular S&W numbering scheme (they had many) the last number "6" means stainless, "5" means blued carbon steel. So the 4505 is the same as the 4506 except for the material.

Thanks.I called S&W,but all they could tell me was that this model was only made in 1991.I couldn't find out how many were made.
