Description:

This is a high quality pistol that was designed as the ultimate police backup/defense weapon. It is a manually operated 5 shot repeater. It measures only 5.2 inches long, 3.7 inches high and 1 inch wide. Chambered for the 45 ACP cartridge it is possibly the smallest 5 shot 45 caliber pistol ever produced. Although it appears to be a semi-automatic, it is not. The slide is manually operated after each pull of the double action trigger. This pistol is made of special tool steel and they are virtually handmade. This is an extremely limited production pistol with only about 600 produced. The right side of the slide is marked "CAL. .45 ACP" behind the serrations and "STD. MIL. SPEC. CTG. ONLY", the left side is marked "MOD LM-4/PATENTS PENDING" ahead of the serrations and "A.D.C. WACO, TX." behind the serrations. Fitted with smooth hardwood grips. With a softcase, 1 extra magazine and manual.

Rating Definition:

Very good as cleaned/polished, there is scattered minor pitting overall and some scattered scratches. The grips are excellent with some scattered minor marks. Mechanically excellent.
