OVERVIEW

Offered here is a Smith & Wesson Performance Center Model 945 chambered in .45 ACP, serial number CFR0068, presented in excellent overall condition with two factory Model 945 magazines and a Smith & Wesson aluminum presentation case.

The Model 945 represents one of the more distinctive semi-automatic pistols produced by the Smith & Wesson Performance Center during its early years. Designed as a premium, hand-fitted .45 ACP pistol, the 945 combines several familiar 1911-inspired features with Smith & Wesson’s own design architecture, including single-action operation, a frame-mounted thumb safety, grip safety, external extractor, and linkless barrel system.

This example is the desirable compact 4-inch configuration with a blackened stainless finish contrasted by polished stainless accents. The distinctive Performance Center slide treatment, skeletonized trigger, finely checkered wood grips, and contrasting polished components give the pistol a purpose-built custom-shop appearance.

Serial number CFR0068(2-digit) places this pistol among the early CFR-prefix Model 945 examples associated with this Performance Center configuration.

CONDITION

This pistol came from a well-established Smith & Wesson collection and appears to be in new-in-box or exceptionally close to new-in-box condition.

The blackened finish, polished stainless accents, grips, controls, and slide surfaces present exceptionally well with little evidence of handling. The magazines also appear very well preserved.

The aluminum S&W case remains with the pistol and presents well overall with a few storage marks.
