"The third generation of the Smith & Wesson Model 645 double-action semiautomatic pistol, chambered in .45 ACP, was a hit with law enforcement in the late 1980s."
"This new second-generation of semiautomatics was meant to replace the 4500 series of guns, and it came with major improvements. Constructed entirely of stainless steel with a low-luster, bead-blasted finish, the Model 645 was perfect for the sportsman or for law enforcement duties.
That was back in 1985, and partnered with the Model 745—a single-action version with a carbon blue slide engineered as an IPSC competition gun—they were instant hits ...
Still looking for ways to improve the gun, in 1988 the company introduced a third generation of double- action semiautomatics, complete with new serial numbers. The gun shown here is one of those.
The company built the new generation with ergonomics in mind by machining a slimmer grip frame complemented by a new wraparound rubber grip rather than the two-piece one on previous models. Additionally, you could choose between a straight or a curved backstrap."
