After literally 2 years of looking, I finally got my hands on a S&W 4505. I really want one with the square trigger guard, curved grip and adjustable sights but this one will have to do for now. I'll continue the quest for the perfect 4505 with this one tucked into the safe.

1200 made in 1991 only, I think, and man are they hard to find. This one appears to be fired very little and included the original box.

The older 3rd Gen S&W autos are pretty much indestructible, heavy, reliable, heavy, durable, heavy and they'll feed anything. Did I mention they're heavy?

I'm not fond of the magazine disconnect safety but I can easily remedy that problem. I'm a real fan of these guns now though when they first came on the market I didn't like them...I was a lot younger and pretty new to guns then and didn't understand a lot of things in life. Now I know better. I have a 4506, too, that I really enjoy shooting.

The majority of those style S&W pistols, always seem to be Stainless, and i've never been a huge fan, but I must say, that Black looks real sharp. Nice find!

Congrats, nice looking gun. It doesn't even look fired in the picture. You will have to tell us how well it shoots.
As I recall, to deactivate the mag disconnect you just have to remove the spring under the rear sight.

Correct. There's a little plastic, spring-loaded detent under the rear sight. Push the sight to the side, remove said offending piece of plastic and spring and done.

Honestly, I don't think I've seen a S&W 4505 before. I like it very much. Great find. It's almost hard to find a good picture of one with the square trigger guard as you described.

They are hard to find. I saw one in my shop several years ago but I couldn't talk the owner into selling it to me. I'll keep looking.
