I have a few 45cal revolvers that I shoot regularly.

Pre Model 25 5 Screw Model Of 1955(6 1/2").45ACP
Model 25-2(6.0").45ACP
Model 25-5 unpinned (4.0").45LC
Model 625-2 Model of 1988(5.0").45ACP

I shoot the 25-5 and the 625-2 the most.I prefer the shorter sight radius.

The Model 625 4" Mountain Guns if you find one are highly sought after.They were made in .45acp and .45LC.

Revolvers made for .45LC can have their cylinder cut to accommodate moon clips for .45acp.

An unpinned 25-5(.45LC) made in 1982 and later have correct cylinder throat sizing.

The Model 25-7 is a beautiful looking 5" gun in .45LC but a few examples are said to be .45acp.

My recommendation would be a Stainless Steel 625 Model of 1988 or Model of 1989 and not a Model 25 Classic

They are all fine guns

I shoot standard velocity reloads out of all of them

.45LC with 7gr of Unique/8gr of BE-86 w/ 230gr LRN
.45ACP with 4.0gr of Bullseye w/ 200gr LSWC or plated Berry's 200gr SWC
