Thread: Used S&W 4516-1

    Used S&W 4516-1

    Just cruising the web and found this. Passing it along. I've bought from Bud's before, but they wouldn't know me if I walked through the front door.

    In the desert, looking for water.
    Those are great guns. Hard to believe they have that many of them.

    Funny how the gun in the photo is stamped 4516-2.

    ETA: I might be a sucker for a 4586 (or better, 4546) at the right price, but I've owned enough third-gens to judge the right price at somewhat lower than Bud's is asking for these. Just my personal assessment. The reader's may be different.

    That's why I shared the link. I am a fan of the 3rd generation S&W semi-autos. Perfect, no, but my love for them started somewhere in 1978 when I bought my first generation model 59 blued. I really want a 4506.

    Not very bright but does lack ambition
    I had to choose between a 4516 and a 3913 when they both first came out, and picked the 3913. It wasn’t the wrong choice, but in retrospect I should have found a way of getting the .45 too. I think they’ve been outclassed since then (I’d take a G30S over a 4516 hands down every time,) but they are iconic.

    Yeah I saw that one too. Def a -2 in the pic. You can tell by the longer beavertail. Who knows whether it’s actually a 1 or 2 they have in stock.

    I think the -2 also has a dual recoil spring setup vs. the -1… Which may be considered to be more reliable?

    And since we’re on 3rd gens…

    I actually just scored this bad boy off the Smith forum:

    Don’t have it yet. But from what I hear, the PC 3rd gens are excellent.

    I had a 6906 9mm that I bought new. Wish I had it back.
