Smith & Wesson’s Model 845 Stainless is a .45 ACP third-generation semi-automatic pistol with stainless steel construction, a satin finish, adjustable rear sight, and checkered black grip panels. Marked “845 Model of 1998” on the slide, it is presented in its original Performance Center case.
For collectors of modern Smith & Wesson pistols, the Model 845 holds a distinctive place in the company’s late third-generation lineup. This Smith & Wesson Model 845 Stainless is marked “845 Model of 1998” on the slide and is presented in its original Smith & Wesson Performance Center case.
Built on Smith & Wesson’s large-frame third-generation semi-automatic platform, the Model 845 is chambered in .45 ACP and features stainless steel construction with Performance Center refinement. Its satin stainless finish pairs brushed slide flats with bead-blasted frame surfaces for a subtle contrast that highlights the pistol’s machining and clean lines.
The pistol uses a traditional double-action/single-action operating system and is fitted with an adjustable rear sight assembly for precise point-of-impact adjustment. Checkered black grip panels, an extended beavertail, and the full-length dust cover contribute to the model’s characteristic handling and profile. A precision-fit stainless steel barrel is visible through the ejection port, with a polished chamber area contrasting against the matte stainless exterior.
As a late-1990s Smith & Wesson design, the Model 845 reflects the company’s continued development of all-metal service and sporting pistols during a transitional era in American handgun design. For enthusiasts of Performance Center pistols and third-generation Smith & Wesson firearms, it is a notable example of the period.
Included with the pistol is its original Performance Center case, adding to the completeness of the presentation.
