Description

This lot features a Smith & Wesson M&P45 semi-automatic pistol chambered in .45 Auto, designed as a full-sized duty sidearm. The pistol is equipped with a 4.5-inch stainless steel barrel and a matching stainless steel slide finished in black, featuring distinctive wavy cocking serrations at both the front and rear. The black polymer frame includes a textured grip for improved handling and is fitted with a Picatinny-style accessory rail, an ambidextrous thumb safety, and an ambidextrous slide stop. Three-dot iron sights are mounted to the slide for target acquisition. The firearm comes complete with its original black plastic Smith & Wesson hard case, two metal magazines with polymer baseplates, two additional interchangeable backstraps, a safety and instruction manual, and product registration paperwork. Key markings include the Smith & Wesson logo and “M&P 45 STAINLESS” on the left side of the slide, with “SMITH & WESSON SPRINGFIELD, MA U.S.A.” on the right. The barrel is marked “45 AUTO” at the breech. The serial number DTS9475 is stamped on a metal plate embedded in the frame. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.


Condition report:

The pistol displays visible surface oxidation and rust on several steel components, most notably within the slide serrations, on the thumb safety, the slide stop, and the rear sight housing. The black finish on the slide shows light handling wear and thinning at the high points. The polymer frame is in good condition with minor surface debris near the magazine release and typical light handling marks. The bore is bright with strong, well-defined rifling. The action appears to function correctly when cycled by hand, and the magazines seat and release properly.
