  Welcome to the forum......
  
  The model 645
  Blk checkered nylon grips
  serrated ramp front sight with red insert and white outline rear
  .365" trigger
  weight 37.5 oz
  
  The model 4506
  wraparound grips with either straight or curved backstrap
  front sight is white dot post, rear is Novak fixed or adjustable sight with 2 white dots.
  trigger is .304"
  weight 41 oz
  
  There were less than 200 known guns marked 645 but with 4506 features.
  These would be worth a big premium to collectors.

  The hammer/trigger/sear geometry were redesigned on the 4506; this was really needed, as the poor trigger pull on the 645 makes accurately shooting difficult. Even professional gunsmithing can do little to improve the trigger pull on the 645.
  
  KY Imports recently offered the 645 (police trade-ins?) for $380.
