A classic 45 auto design with modern features.

This was a duty gun issued by the agency I worked for. I fell in love with it and made arrangements to purchase it when I left. I am not sure if Smith ran these through the performance center but it is the most accurate 45 I have owned. Breakdown does require some hand strength but beyond that you are left with only a few pieces to clean. The 4563 has an aluminum frame/steel slide and the 4566 is all steel, felt recoil is about the same.

Take the classic 45 government, drop the barrel an inch, add double or single action, ambi safety/decocker, an equipment rail, one extra round and a few less parts and this what you get.
Slim, flat design makes this a powerful conceal carry piece. Good, decent low light level sights, a non glare stainless finish round out this overbuilt pistol. You can count on it to go bang and hit what you aim at.
