Very nice!

Since we are talking about triggers and all that, does anyone know what the DA trigger pull for the 4506 is? I can't find any info anywhere about it other than people stating that it is simply "heavy"

Probably varies but most da/sa guns have about 10lbs first pull, just buy a pull gauge for yours.

I have exactly $15. Seriously though, every time it is mentioned online, it is only listed as "heavy" which could mean anything from the guy just has weak hands or the trigger is close to that of a Nagant revolver. It's hard for me to guage it because I have pretty strong hands and most triggers feel light-medium to me

That is an absolutely beatiful gun though. I hope you nail a deer with it

i wish i could upload a better pic to do it justice.

If it's a later model, and anything like a later model 5906's trigger, it's trigger is probably relatively heavy compared to a Beretta, SIG, CZ patterned guns like the Jericho 941, or even an earlier generation Smith. You can't say whether or not a trigger is good/bad/light/heavy though unless you have something to measure it against, so you saying it's medium in pull weight without evidence or a comparison means pretty much nothing. I've handled, dry fired and fired most all of the modern wondernines, and the 3rd Gen Smiths I've gone through were probably the heaviest and worst of the double actions. It wasn't worst by a wide margin, and by no means was it "bad", but other patterned guns were certainly better in the trigger department with regard to weight, play, smoothness of pull and breaking. I certainly don't regret the 92SB/5906 trade with regard to their triggers, that's for sure.

Oh yeah, as far as weight numbers go, I've got no idea, I've looked for pound numbers for plenty of guns and they aren't listed anywhere, but numbers and trigger comparisons are both scales of measurement, so my input stands.

My 4505 in DA is lighter than my 92FS. I would say it's about the same weight pull as my P220. The P220 being more mushier though. The 92FS while heavier seems to be cleaner than the other two. The 4505 is kind of gritty. My 4505 was made in '91 (the only year). 92FS made in '92, P220 - '95.

I've been looking at maybe buying a trigger pull gauge, but other things first on the list.
