Understand I’m not a lawyer nor have I played one in a movie the things I talk about in my videos are strictly for conversation or entertainment purposes only!
Love these big old pistols in 45acp. Thx for sharing and supporting Matt
Thank you so much for watching. I also have a love for these pistols.
45, the lord's caliber.
It sure is my friend. Thank you
Phillips head screws look weird on a firearm.
Yeah. Total eyesore. Not sure what they were thinking, especially on such a classy pistol. I'd have changed the entire design to eliminate the screw, or at least use a more sightly screw. Hex or torx security or something like that. Anything but a Phillips head.
Lol it sure does. Thank you for watching and helping out Matt
Only some of them have that. Mine has an Allen screw. They are also notorious for that screw backing out and becoming loose. I was watching to see if it happened to him
@@davidbliss3220 How many round do you think you put through the gun before the allen screw became loose? I have the allen as well and it's still solid.. but idk if I'm lucky or of I just haven't shot it enough
@@Th3Downz mine loosens up after a few magazines. I have since put lock tight on it, but haven’t had the chance to shoot it since I did. I’m glad yours doesn’t do it. It’s a common problem
Got a 4506 and love it! Wish they still made this one, it's a good one,as good as Sig or HK. Definitely a classic and a keeper.
Have 4506 and smaller 4516. Tanks. Used to carry the 4516 with a giant belt. Great guns.
Yes they are
That is a great gun. I would not mind having one of those myself.
S & W 1006 10 mm also very cool gun!
That was one of the best .45 acp guns I ever owned, I carried that gun in law enforcement back in 1988 thru 1995 when we switched to the Sig Sauer P220 .45, I should have bought that gun.
I love that story. Thank you for your service and Thanks for watching.
The 659 & 645 are beautifully finished & built like tanks. Never a problem.
Yes they are. I love old 80's and 90's Smiths
Thank you for helping Matt and family
I am glad that I could help. I hope this all ends well for him soon.
Wish they still manufactured them
They won't as it costs way too much to make, compared to polymer. Every 80s child should have one.
I recognize you from my channel. Thank you for the continued support that you show me.
@@stoegerstewie8351 I agree with that statement. Hopefully they can find away to produce these again at a decent price. Probably not though
Thanks for helping Matt. Also a good video, Love those 80s and 90s Smith & Wesson auto loaders. I like 40 and the 4006 is just such a fun gun for me.
Thank you so much for the positive comments. I hope Matt gets thru this soon.
Just bought one today can't wait to take it to the shooting range
Might be something related to the effort and difficultly required to make something.
Paper and polymer are easy to get, plentiful, are used in extremely cheap and nasty products. Stuff like zip lock bags and Federal Reserve notes.
But stuff like gold, steel, forged alloys, silver, titanium and the like take a lot more effort to mine, refine, shape, and finish. Maybe with age comes wisdom, understanding what real assets are.
Was thinking earlier today, why have we accepted the use of pieces of cheap paper as currency? All they gotta do is press a 'print button' and it devaluates overnight instantly, with very little effort except some cotton and tree pulp and some ink. Paper is cheap and abundant. And on top of that the USA pays interest for the use of each and every stinking piece of that paper.
What if people were asked to ascribe the power of goods/service transfer to pieces of limestone? It's laying everywhere on the ground, why don't we use that instead? It's too easy to get! Right! And paper is too!
Gold is very difficult to get, takes a ton of time and energy and effort to create coinage and bar. It cannot be devalued with the press of a button.
Very interesting, Thanks for watching
I like the 645 a lot however finding one in decent condition is difficult. There is new guns on the market that are awesome too that have the same look and feel as the 645. I went with the Kimber stainless Custom II. Same size as the 645 except its a 1911. Awesome gun! You cant ever go wrong with a 1911 especially with all the parts and magazines available for them. Finding 645 mags is very difficult. In fact any of the old S&W mags are hard to get. Because of that I recommend some of the other new guns. For example the stainless SAR 2000 is an awesome high quality gun that is extremely cheap plus it can use CZ-75 mags and has that nostalgia feel to it.
Thank you so much. I have 2 SAR pistols and I love them. I will have to check out the 2000.
As we age we appreciate what we took for granted in our youth.
Well said my friend. I could not agree more.
Great video. Thanks for supporting CRS
Thank you for helping as well by watching and giving me this opportunity.
I love the Old School S&W auto pistols and have many in different calibers. In 45ACP have the 645, 745, 945, 4506 and 4516. Great Guns
Yes sir. I have a 1006, 1066, 645, 5906, 3906 and 2206. I love them as well.
Beauty but not practical for conceal cary. Maybe with a sholder holster
I agree and that is how it was carried mostly back in the day
I have one of these and when I bought it I knew nothing about S. Crockett carrying one. Why is it always mentioned? Who GAF about Sonny Crockett? I wanted adjustable sights on a 1911 in .45. I haven't shot this in years(!), but it's my gf every night.😉 I had to adjust the rear sight all the way up to get it where I wanted it to aim...putting the front sight on where you wanted to hit instead of below like most guns. I just looked at the receipt: $490.60 w/o tax. Bought in February, 1988.
Thought it was a 1911. Miss Miami vice:)
No doubt Thank you for watching
Then theres us old farts that never went polymer in the first place. Finally accepted aluminum frames.
I just got a great 1911, in 45cal, Oriskany arms. Super sweet...from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 🤠
@@billallen4793 nice
@@subterfusion4005 it's so nice...lol I'd never heard of this manufacturer before, but it's tighter than a high dollar Dan Wesson or Wilson Combat. I've never been a fan of 1911's because my grandfather's experience with that model during WW2 while he was in the pacific. He hated his, and said it was the least accurate weapon he ever fired. If he ever ran out of ammunition his plan was to throw it at the Japanese, in hope's of finally hitting something with it! LOL 😆 this is the same guy who drank torpedo fuel ⛽! I asked him if that might have been the issue with his pistol accuracy, so one smack on the back of the head later, we'd gotten back to working on whatever was being built at the time. I miss that old man... R.I.P. J.P.HOBAN...from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 🤠
@@billallen4793 thats a great story. Im glad you got a great 1911 even if ole Pap wasnt a fan. Sounds like he earned the right to his opinion.
@@subterfusion4005 yeah he was a wheel gun fan, but I like ANYTHING that makes noise...lol
I remember when this gun first came out. First ever semi auto in 45 acp made by s&w. I
Had to sell mine back in 2017, but I've been scouring the net for one lately.
If Smith & Wesson did a limited run of 645's I'd be the first in line.
I have dipped into the polymer realm before but always preferred all metal . I feel like you and guess I'm just getting old. Im only 38 but feel and have the taste of "older". I don't mind carrying full size and weight and like I mentioned prefer it. I mostly go to smaller or gun and pawn shops bc I like the older stuff. It just feels and looks better and moat of the time made better. Just look at the wood difference from the last 20 years. Its so cheap and fake now unless you get a very high end or custom. I like those 3&4 series Smith's personally and they do look very similar to a 1911 but beefier. Very cool find and rare as well. Appreciate you adding to help Matt's channel. Appreciate the video man. 🐍🇺🇸
I appreciate all the kind words and you are also helping Matt by watching. Thank you so much.
Bought mine new in 1986, has been my bedroom pistol ever since. Still have the box and paperwork. I put Pachmayr grips in it which made it perfect. Mine has the fixed sights.
Was fortunate to snag a couple of 645s from pawn shops. A Cadillac of 45 ACP pistols! All stainless steel and no fiddly accessories and switches to get in the way.
I like it! That looks like a heavy hitter. S&W made so few guns like that. I don't know if it was Glock coming along or what, but they stopped making them too soon.
I agree with you. I am hoping that they might bring some of them back.
Man, that's a real nice handgun.
How does it stack up to the 1911 in terms of handling?
It is very comparable to the 1911 in my opinion. I just love it because its a little unique.
It's basically a 1911. If you're going to spend the money get a 1911.
It was made 4yrs not 3 count the years 85,86,87,88 lmao
I have the brother to this very gun. Mine is absolutely identical. Great shooter for sure.
Keep em coming 👍
Thank you for the support and you are also helping Matt.
That is a pretty gun.
Thank you very much.
I own this gun , need a Barrel having a hard time finding parts for the 645 S/W any help would be appreciated, thank you 😊
You try eBay? I got a 5906 a few months and that’s were I go to find parts.
I will look around and get back to you. Thank you for watching and helping out Matt.
I had a smith wesson 4506. It reminds a lot of this pistol.
Sure is a beauty!
Great video 👍
Thank You for helping Matt and family
Thank you so much and I wish Matt all the best. I am also a fan of his channel.
i have sitting right beside me it belonged to my dad it was passed down to me but i still carry it , i call the dinasor and it's a bit heavy but i like it very much
I have one of these on a rope in the bow of my boat! Really holds her fast in a gale.
That is too funny. Its a beast but a true classic.
She’s a beaut!
Thank you so much and Thanks for watching and helping out Matt
My old police partner has 4 of these !!
Jealous, Thank you and your partner for your service.
Beautiful weapon!!!
So what shoulder holster was used? "Miami Vice"
You got me on that one. I can visualize it but I do not recall what brand it is or if they ever said what it was.
The original holster was a ted blocker, but Don Johnson didn't like it. He was custom fit a jackass holster ( now Galco Miami Classic ) by the owner of the company who flew to the set and custom fitted it for him.
@@jimt1914 Great info, Thank you for sharing.
Never mind he just said that!
Hell yeah 👍
Thank you for watching and helping out Matt
Carried it on the Job for 22 Yrs. Loved it. Switched to a M&P .45 while everyone went over to the 9mm several times in my career. Finished with a .M&P 45 and a .40 for backup. Still keep it around for Home protection, target shooting and showing off the great firearm 😄 It was replaced by the 4506 which had over 20 changes to the firearm if I remember correctly. .
I got mine new in '85 to carry as my first duty auto loader on a small city police dept in Alaska that you had to buy your own gun and qual with it.. Then I went over to the Troopers, and back to a wheel gun, and a few years later to a county dept outside Wash DC, and still with a wheel gun until they went with Beretta 92s and later Glocks in 9mm and then .40. You could buy your duty Glock and carry it so I got my Gen 2 G17 that saved my life a few times. I STILL have my 645 though! A great shooting gun that will feed anything-including empty brass cases. It never had any issues in the years I carried it and it really feels good in your hand. Its a pretty accurate auto out of the box. In all whats not to love? A really good video on this cool pistol, piece of history, and Crocketts go-to blaster!!
Thanks for doing the video
There you are again. lol Thanks for the continued support
@Gun Locker 75 you always have Interesting guns
@@waterhead1359 Thank u
Hate that slide safety
$$$$
Thanks
Tolle Waffe, ich habe auch eine.😊
Thanks so much for putting this gem on here..I have this same gun
I had one of those years ago. Looking for another one! Awesome pistol!
the weapon of "Sunny Crocket"! one of the most popular and sought-after pistols on the market! I want them! greetings frank
If I'm not mistaken, a version of this gun was used in the last 3 seasons of Miami Vice.
You might be right. I have found many conflicting stories about what seasons this gun was used in. Thanks for sharing
So what and who cares?
how does this compare to a CZ? both guns seems to lend toward the heavier, well-built style.
It is in the same ball park but closer to the 1911. The CZ has that lower slide that rides inside the lower but both solid well built guns.
Imo quality steel guns will hold more value over polymer.
You can 3d print polymer. Steel is a little different lol
