Smith & Wesson Model 45
The S&W Model 45 was made from 1948-78, a period of 30 years. Do any of you Smith collectors know exactly how many were made? They seem to be awful scarce.

Jeez, I'd expect you to be answering this type of question, not asking it

LOL!!! Unfortunately, I don't know the answer. But I still think the .22 M&P is a cool gun and I don't know why Smith dropped it.

Standard Catalogue of Firearms sez,,,
Quote:
And that after that there were approximately 4,000 more made for various organizations. All I know is that they don't come up for sale very often,,, Last one I heard of was about a year ago,,, It went in auction for $2,300.00. Best substitute I can do is a Model 18 Combat Masterpiece,,, Like a Model 45 but with adjustable rear sights,,, And a combat style ramp front sight. Okay, okay,,, it's only similarity is that it's a K-frame in .22 LR. Aarond

Personally, I think Smith should bring this model back, but WITHOUT the ILS.
