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.

4506: At the most, $600

S&W1911: $900-$2000

Magazine for 4506: Pain in the ass to find, most available are used, S&W is the only game in town

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.

Again, they aren't a pain in the ass to find if you look on the internet. Do a gunbroker search or go here:

If you've never been to Midway USA, they are a pretty well know gun parts supplier and they regularly have stuff like those mags. Hell, they're on sale!

Eh, my point still makes sense with that. You can just buy a good old 1911 and take 1911 mags rather than buying a 4506 (which isn't that common anymore to begin with) and converting it (especially when, again, it's not that hard to get ahold of 4506 mags). Yeah, S&W 1911s are more expensive, but there are other 1911 makers that charge less with a similar degree of quality, and even so some people don't really care about the price. S&W has also announced a change in their 1911s and that they will be priced more modestly than that, or at least that's what I read in Guns and Ammo.

It also won't happen because S&W ants you to buy their mags so they get money, rather than aftermarkets, and it makes less sense when you think about getting a 1911 that takes 1911 mags, as well as most if not all other common 1911 parts as opposed to a gun that just receives the magazine and has no other commonality, as well as a different battery of arms, the DA/SA, which has fallen out of vogue (because k9870 is afraid he might actuate the safety and the gun will fail for him oh noes).

It's a solution to a problem that does not exist since, again, 4056 mags are not that uncommon, and even more problematic in that the gun just wouldn't sell anyway, not when there are 1911s on the market that people want and no mass desire for the 4506. The market has ceiled its fate.
