These were, I believe, the last run of 3rd Gen guns Smith ever made Around 750 total A few dozen overruns made it to the S&W performance center shop in Maine. Those being insane money online. I am in WV, so am very familiar with these. Original silver finish guns were carried for a long time. They bought this last run and then changed over to Glocks a couple years later Never had a chance to pick up one of the black Melenite guns. Found this one in local classifieds online It turns out the WV Public Service Commission piggy backed the contract and got around 30 for their armed guards (mainly retired State Troopers I’ve been told ) They didn’t pay the extra few dollars to get the agency name engraved This is probably one of the rarest 3rd gens ever made. The WVSP guns still pop up on GB for >1500 price range. Didn’t get a box, and only one mag, but I’m tickled to get it  I quit school in elementary because of recess.......too many games --Riff Raff-- | ||

That pistol is representative of one of the best models and type ever produced. Gen 3 smith semi autos are awesome. I had the performance center version of that pistol, the CQB, (I actually had a couple, one stainless all steel and one all melonite with alloy frame, but neither had a rail) and those DID have the Briley bushing. Great find ! | |||

Beautiful 4566TSW! I didn't know there were any overuns from the WVSP order. One scarce pistol! I love my 4566s. Enjoy that fine 45! Looking forward to your range report! Regards 18DAI 7+1 Rounds of hope and change | |||

That is phenomenal. I felt happy to get one of the CHP all steel 40’s they put on market a few years back but this is waaaay better. Nice score. | |||

That is well worth the wait | |||

Its a shame the current company calling itself s&w doesn't make that Melonite 4566TSW today. No reason they can't. And it would sell. Regards 18DAI 7+1 Rounds of hope and change | |||

That is a real beauty and I am very jealous. I used to own a 4506 back in 2003 that I mistakenly sold and I regret it and my 457, I wish I had both them back. But this 4566TSW? This takes the blue ribbon. Laughing in the face of danger is all well and good until danger laughs back. | |||

Nice Score. I have a two-tone 457 and a 4054 (only 157 made). PC | |||

Neat! I really dig the third gens with integrated rail. That one in particular is awesome. | |||

So jealous. I’ve been looking for the right 4566TSW for several years now. Enjoy that pistol, and I’ll call dibs if you ever want to get rid of it. Thanks for sharing. “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” | |||

That is the best 4566 I’ve ever seen, I would have not been able to resist that one.. | |||

DAO? I don't see a hammer. Is the decocker, safety only? The WVSP 4566TSW has been a holy grail for me and I'd love to get my hands on one before my time on this planet expires. | |||

Beautiful pistol! I have one of the WVSP 4566s, but never knew your variant existed. | |||

That thing is awesome looking. | |||
|
| I swear I had something for this |
Metallica summed up my thoughts perfectly, “I’m madly in anger with YOU!!!!”  Every time I find one of those guns, the price goes too far into orbit for me, but congrats for finding one. | |||
