I have an unfired 4596 and can't find any info on what these are worth. Can someone look this up in the blue book. I have the box and goodies that it came with.

I searched around on Google and can only find that someone tried to sell a used one for about $675.00 a few years back. Less than 400 of these made by Lew Horton. Are you going to fire it?

pics?

Joe, I don't see a 4596 listed in blue book, could it be a 4586?

 

Tony..........

Tony it's a 4596 Lew Horton did a run off of less than 400.

From Supica & Nahas: .45 ACP. This was a 4506-1 frame mounted with a 4516-1 slide & barrel w/Novak lo-mount sights.

 

They say: ANIB = $725 / Exc = $525 / VG = $450

 

Keep in mind that this was published in 2006. However, most price guides tend to be optomistic and with the passage of time, these may be more viable estimates now than they were then. Good luck Joe.

 

Adios,

4596 is the 1990 era Lew Horton designed all steel semi auto, a full size single stack .45acp frame mated to a 3 3/4" slide from the 4516 model for concealability. Supposedly a great gun, like most S&W steel guns are... but it battles directly with commander style 1911s and never caught on. Some people liked the safety location, I never could get used to it on the gen3 S&W autos, the safety/decocker was confusing in stressful situations. Up for fire, donw for safe, more down to decock. Plus the DA pulls were less then great, the SA pulls were good though.

 

Try the S&W forum for info... I dont recall ever seeing one for sale on a forum. I would say the worth would be about +/-$700 to a S&W collector.

That's the dilemma with the 4596 it's not for sale frequently enough to gauge a price. I pm'd a guy on S&W forum looking for one and he said the same thing.

Thanks Jeff and Tony you guys are great!!!

 

BTW it sold on Gunbroker for $1426!!!!

Damn! Thats some money making right there! Bet u wish you had a stack of those. lol
