  • Smith and Wesson only produced this handgun for 3 years, but it will always be a classic due to it's appearance in Miami Vice. It is built like a tank, feels good in the hand and will cycle anything. Thanks for watching.

    I love this gun. I have 2 of them. One I bought new in the mid 80s and found another in a local gun shop about 10 years ago. I was a Miami Vice fan, what can I say :)

    I shot the S&W 745 (single action version of the. 645) in the early to mid 1990s in IPSC competition.
    I'm a huge fan of the 645/745/4506 and love Miami Vice.
    The 645/745 is such a reliable pistol. It really would even feed empty cases. I also proved that many times at the range.

    Love 2nd and 3rd Gen Smith pistols. I have the 659, 6906, and 4006. Was on the hunt for a 645, but that has been put on hold.

  • @johnroberts6695

    Yes, S&W salesmen back in the 80s would demonstrate the feeding characteristics of the 645 by racking empty cases into the chamber of a 645. And the S&W 645, in my view, is one of the finest, if not _the_ finest, .45ACP ever made. It has all the great features of the .45ACP Colt auto without the propensity to jam. If you don't have a 645, git one, by gum!

    • @kyfirearms
      @kyfirearms  Před rokem +2

      Awesome. I read the stories but wasn't sure if it was true. As you see, I tried it and definitely true. It is a great gun and probably best 45 acp ever. I wish Smith would go back to some of these models. Thanks again for the comment 👍.

    I know this is an older post but I just saw it and had to respond.
    I love my 645. I bought it new and carried it back in the 80s on an Alaska small city pd while assigned to the Troopers. It was the first time anyone carried anything other than a 1911 and wheel guns on the city dept (you had to buy your own guns) and had an issued revolver when I was hired by the Troopers. Kwik story: I had an intoxicated person walking in the road during a blizzard and when I approached to speak with him about *pedestrian safety* he pulled a very nice, sharp and LARGE bowie knife on me saying he would not be taken alive. After seeing reason after I pointed my 645 at him and putting him in protective custody to sleep it off the next morning he told me it looked like he was looking into a 55 gallon drum when looking down the barrel from the wrong end of the 645. We got along fine after that. Police are supposed to keep you safe and protect you besides arresting if you do bad stuff. Its the way it was in Alaska.

      @@kyfirearms good old Tubbs and Crockett, and the 10-foot Florida Alligator. I was a teenager and enjoyed that series very much. I even was able to spend a little bit of time on one of their movie sets and I got Sonny's autograph and photo. He signed it on the hood of his personal Ferrari Testarossa that he drove in the series. My parents took me to Miami for the weekend, for a getaway and our hotel that we stayed at was right where they were filming the series that week. It was awesome. They're bringing back Miami Vice and Crockett and Tubbs are playing in the show. Echo

    The first 3 rounds in this video is why LVMPD in Las Vegas stopped issuing this model handgun. The flame coming out of the barrel of this gun was so damn huge, if you got into a gunfight at night you’d be flash/blinded after the first round! Great stopping power but tactically if you fired this gun in a dark environment you’d be flat out blinded after the first round because of the muzzle flash.

      Should be around 600. If it comes with original box or extra magazines, probably 7 to 800. Some are more collectable than others, so it may vary. Hope that helps.

    Where can I buy after-mkt. stocks(side panels) for this gun? Are all 1911 panels the same? The stock panels come way up and I don't know if that's out of necessity or what. They have good grip, but they look kinda cheesy if you ask me. Bought mine 2/88 for $490.
