My father was heavily involved in IPSC competition, and gunsmithing for the same purpose during the late 70's to early 90's. Our present location in NW Arkansas is a hotbed for pistol-smithing to this day (Wilson Combat, Guncrafter Industries, Nighthawk Custom, etc.). I was competing and working on pistols before I could drive a vehicle! One thing dad always said of the Smith 745 was that they were solid, accurate, and hefty. He preferred the 1911, but he kept an open mind and tried and worked on many designs. He said that heft of the 745 really kept muzzle climb down when running a course of fire at high speed - to the point that a compensator wasn't needed. Of course, a compensator works better with higher pressure cartridges than that those exhibited by the .45 ACP (like 38 super, 9x21, 9x23, 40 S&W, etc.). Anyways, nice gun. Thought you'd enjoy the rambling story!
