Just here to give you guys a performance report on the S&W Performance Center 945 lightweight compact with 3.75 in. barrel. I and a couple of my friends went to the range on Friday, and we could not believe what we experienced with this gun. To get right to the point, this is the most accurate gun any of us have ever shot, and we've shot 'em all, including HK P7's, custom Brownings, Glocks, and Sigs. We couldn't believe a .45 could be that accurate out of such a short barrel. It was like a magic freakin' wand of destruction. The rounds went right where we wanted to put them. It was simply amazing. The gun was also sighted perfectly to point of aim. Unfortunately, we were only able to fire about 200 rounds through the gun as we had a bunch of other guns there, but there were no malfunctions of any kind. Reliability is the single most important aspect for a carry gun(accuracy being a distant second), so this was positive. We didn't get a chance to test it with hollowpoints, as the range didn't have any in stock, but we'll test it with Hydrashocks, Cor-bons, and Golden Sabers on the next trip. I'm also going to wait to clean it until after the next session. I want to test it with the hollowpoints while it's still dirty. The recoil was brisk, but manageable. It was almost as if the gun recoiled so fast, one didn't have time to be bothered by it. It's as if the recoil impulse was over before it really registered. Needless to say, the gun came back on target extremely quickly for follow up shots. Once we got the hang of it, double taps were right on the money. It was actually kind of scary. I had ordered the gun directly from Camfour(apparently, the only available source), and was told by one of the salesmen that I would love it. They were right. As I'm used to the Glock 19(my carry gun), and thus having 15 to 17 rounds at my disposal, I'll have to get used to the single stack mag which only gives you 7 to 8 rounds, depending on which magazine you're using. Wish it were a high capacity, but the gun was so good, we all had to cut it slack on this point. The only negative thing that happened was the wood grips coming loose, but some lock-tight on the hex head screws should fix this in the future. Hell of a gun.
