About the Smith & Wesson 4567

The Smith & Wesson 4567 is a full-size semi-automatic pistol chambered in .45 ACP, introduced by Smith & Wesson in 1991. It is part of Smith & Wesson's Third Generation semi-automatic line, offering the proven .45 ACP cartridge in a modern double-action platform that combined the stopping power favored by .45 enthusiasts with the operational advantages of a DA/SA trigger system. The pistol features a steel frame and a steel slide, providing a durable platform designed for years of reliable service in both duty and civilian applications. With a magazine capacity of 8 rounds, this pistol offers ample firepower for defensive applications. competing against established .45 ACP platforms like the 1911 and SIG P220, these pistols offered higher capacity and double-action operation that appealed to agencies and shooters wanting modernized .45 ACP duty guns. With a 4.3-inch barrel, this pistol balances concealability with ballistic performance, providing near-optimal velocity and a practical sight radius for accurate shot placement. Weighing 1100g (38.8 oz) empty, this pistol provides enough mass to dampen felt recoil while remaining practical for holster carry and extended range sessions.

The extremely limited production run of just 2,500 units in a single year makes the 4567 one of the most sought-after third-generation Smith & Wesson pistols among collectors.
