Ive never tried the two hand thing actually, But slingshotting is just so fast and natural, of course on a cz or p210 or other narrow slide gun it may be hard.

I've never tried slingshotting the slide

S&W should make versions of their .45 pistols (such as the 4506, 945, and 4566) that accept 1911 magazines. they would sell alot better than the versions that require you to buy mags from S&W and S&W only

I haven't compared the two but I think it would alter the grip angle.

I though mec gar made mags for the smith series?

I have only seen factory ones also, at least for the 4506 guns. Since they were used by LE's for while, surplus mags are around. I bought a group of 4 to save money.

I have yet to do it on any of mine by accident and I usually slingshot my pistols. I have to intentionally try to do it, in order to engage the safety. If you have a good enough hold on the slide, it shouldn't be a problem.

If you want to do a true speed reload, just drop the empty mag with one still in the chamber. Then you don't have to fool around with the slide.

Seriously, are we gonna have to discuss this again?

Modifying the 4506 to be more apt to 1911 fans is pointless too since S&W makes 1911s now. Mec-Gar doesn't make a 4506 mag though, but 4506 mags are not that uncommon with the magic of the internet either.

Its my preference, it doesnt need to be debated. But neither does 1911 vs glock but those threads go for ever....honestly i dont like manual safeties on DA guns.

All you would really have to do is make the grip a little shorter. You can already use modded 1911 mags in a 4506, but you get lesser rounds and you have to physically cut the mags

I wish smith would bring back some steel da/sa autos, but now everyone wants polymer.....

Magazine for 1911: Everyone makes them, easy to find

It isn't a mod to make the 4506 appeal to 1911 fans, it's a mod for people who want a handgun that will work no matter what but like the option of being able to go to any gunstore in America and buy a magazine for their handgun

While I'd rather trust used S&W mags, if you got to have new. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=222003964

Id like to see a camp carbine type gun again. Wood and blued or stainless. Give it a nice classic look, but be able to use common mags.

A ruger deerfield made to take desert eagle mags would be awesome too.
