I recently saw a new-in-the-box S&W M645 for sale. I had not seen a 645 previously. Massad Ayoob has an article on Smith .45s on page 60 of the November 2007 issue of "Guns" Magazine.

Ayoob says that in 1983 S&W came out with a stainless double action first-shot service pistol, the Model 645. He further says it looks like a Model 39 9mm with a gland condition. The 645 is a bit larger than a M1911 Colt. I think I will take another look at that 645, unless I get some negative comments on that model pistol.
