$375 .00for the 4526 .are you going to convert 40 or 45 mags for your 10 mm conversion
?

That's a steal of a price.

I'm starting to get into a bidding war on GB for a s&w 4536. Only 736 made for one year in 1991. Comes with original box and goodies. It also appears to be in 95% or better condition. Just checking none of you goons are bidding as well.

Not this goon. Good luck.

I’ve got both 40 and 45 mags. At this point, I don’t have a solid answer. Has your research indicated a preference to using either?

search the blue s&w forum their is a person that does the complete conversion , mags and chamber. 45 mags just need the lips shaped .40 mags need the spacer removed from the sides and back ,spot welded removed on the side.s

Sounds like the 45 mags would be easier.

I'd prefer the import markings on the barrel as it's easier to swap out but not a bad deal. They also have 910's and 915's for 309 and 319.

You've had some good luck in recent days. How's the finish?

Like people say these 3rd Gens are addictive. Went in to a LGS to look to see what used things they had and look for a scope for my AR. While looking at scopes I hear a guy say what "What model is this again? Its a 457." Boy did the ears perk up. After the trade was done I asked if the gun was up for sale and I was interested. Looked it over it was a 457 with no wear marks or scratches and looks like it had hardly been shot. Long story walked out with it for $325 two mags and the blue box. If I had been 5 min later in the shop I would have missed the chance on the deal so figured it was fate. This now has added my third one to my collection. Newark NJ PD 6946, Early California Highway Patrol 4006 and now this 457. I have to stop this insanity before my wife finds out. Though I think would still like to pick up a 3900 or 1000 series still. LOL

The 457 is one of my favorite third gen models. Congrats on a great buy.

I got 2 would love to carry one but both are around 95%. Gotta keep that finish which wasn't that great to begin with.

Who is ready for a conversion project?

Step one and two moving along.

 

[1775usmarine]

This should be good.....On that note I won a crdc laser for a 3913 for 40 off of ebay.

 

[PLANEMECH]

Yeah, It has no wear marks on it and I am hesitant to carry it myself. But since it so new I just have to carry it some. I'm sure I will go back to carrying my Shield as EDC anyway since it is lighter.

Since I'll probably be out of the buying game for a while with a kid now I've been thinking of trading one of my 457's for another 3rd gen on my list of comparable value. The only bad to that is one is roll marked the other laser etched.

I'm hoping to get into the garage soon and finish my 5906ssv clone. I still need a spring but numrich has them and I get my 10% for being a c&r holder.

Funny how projects get held up over a minor item. Glad I am not the only one!

Yeah I turned the pistol over to do something and the levers fell out with the springs. I only found one.
