I was in the market for the 4506 until I read about the TSW differences. I really don't like the light rail but if the newer TSW model, the 4566 TSW in particular has a tighter lock-up, beefier design and more accurate then it interests me despite the light rails.
Does the 4506 have a barrel bushing like the 4566 TSW? I'm willing to put up with the rails if I can get a better designed and more accurate pistol with the 4566 TSW.
Also, does it come with the trigger guard lock? I noticed some S&W autos have that damn trigger guard lock below the trigger , but I don't see any in the picture.
Also, is that a 10 round mag or just an 8 rounder not seated all way in the picture?
Also, California DOJ has both the 4566 non TSW and TSW models listed and even the 4506. Though I know that there is a 4506-1 version out there so I'm not sure which one the CA DOJ has approved since they usually approve the latest design. Are the 4566 TSW still in the first engineering production without any dashes yet?
Does the 4566 non TSW not have the enhancements of the TSW version?
Would you recommend the 4566 TSW over the 4506 or P220ST?
I want something accurate, reliable, and durable.
