Default 5" 625 Classic .45 Colt - worth the chase?

I know of a 625 Classic in .45 Colt with a 5" barrel that is unfired and in the original box. The only little snaggle is that the price is $895 so I'll have to sell something else to get it (probably a 6" 27). Does anybody out there have one of these and if so - how do you like it? I love the cartridge and 5" barrel revolvers so there is no question about whether I'll be shooting it or not - of course I will. How about some opinions on this, they will be appreciated.

So far the 625-3 Stocking dealer Special has eluded me.
They are scarce, but NOT rare. There were quite a few made.

Bigger than a Mountain gun, but smaller than the P.C. 625s with the
slab side barrels.
Probably the ideal Stainless Smith in 45 Colt.

Anything under a grand for a prime example is a fair price and should be pursued.


The only thing finer would be the model 26-1. But these ARE rare.


Good luck
Allen Frame

Allen-Frame,

Is the 26 just a tapered barrel 25, and I suppose it could be argued it is kind of a "pre-Mountain Gun"??? I didn't know these were even made.

I'd have to agree with the rest on this one. Seems like a pretty good price for an unfired with original box gun. I'd love to find a shooter grade example, but have never run across one period.

Go for it. I picked these two up in 2007 after searching for years. One dealer had two of them and I bought them for $500.00 each. The one on the left is my shooter, and the one one the right is my safe queen. There were only 1500 made, and I have two of them. Only 1498 left to go...LOL. The gun is amazingly accurate and balanced. You will love it.

I sold an ANIB 625-5 Classic with 5 inch barrel to another member here in January for a price a bit north of $1,000. S&W only made 1,500 of them.

If it would have had the standard barrel configuration, with just the ejector rod shroud like a regular Model 29, this gun would have been perfect for me and I would likely never have let it go.

<If it would have had the standard barrel configuration, with just the ejector rod shroud like a regular Model 29, this gun would have been perfect for me and I would likely never have let it go.>

A friend of mine had a 25-7 that was an impressive shooter. As I wasn't a big fan of unfluted cylinders and a matte finish, I was hoping Smith would make a stainless version of the 25-7, as stainless steel revolvers were coming on strong in the late 80's. They never did, but the 5" full-lugged barrel does balance well on the N-frame + the 625-5 came with my favorite .312 combat trigger. I liked the 625-5 so much, I picked up a 629-4 with the same barrel length. Seems like Smith brought their A game to the table when they were broaching the barrels for the 45 Colt offerings back in this time period. I've never had a chance to shoot a 25-9, but the 25-7 and my 625-5 don't just group, they leave one big hole in the bullseye at 25 yds. They hang right in there with a 625 chambered in 45ACP!

Basically, yes. The original would be The 1950 Model .45 Target Light Barrel. It was a .45 ACP. In 1957 it became the M26. SCSW 3rd says "To rare to estimate value."

The M26-1 was made as a commemorative for the Georgia State Patrol 50th anniversary in 1987. 800 were made, 760 were commemoratives with the GSP markings. 40 were made without the markings. These were chambered in .45 Colt.

It has always been my feeling that the 25/625 Mountain Guns, and the other tappered barrel/adj sight .45 revolvers made in recent years should have M26/626s, but apparently S&W (Safe-T-Hammer) doesn't see it that way.

Q: Forum, should I buy gun X.
Forum: Of course! You should buy any gun, always.
;-)

I have no idea if that is a good price. However, *if* the price reflects that it's a "never-fired" gun then you could likely find a better buy somewhere else. You'd be paying extra for something you do not value and will remove that value the minute you buy. If I were to buy one, I'd look for one that has all ready been shot and priced accordingly.

Default 625 Classic .45 LC accuracy

I bought mine new in February 1984 days before the Brady Bill went into effect. Paid $ 365 for it. Took it to the range and with factory loads at combat range (7 yards ) and resting on the hood of my pickup. After sight adjustment it put 5 rounds inside a quarter sized hole. My wife has since appropriated it and calls it her "punkin roller'.

Hi Mike. Welcome to THE Smith and Wesson forum. I hope that if she calls the revolver her "punkin roller" that she doesn't also refer to you as "her punkin"...

I ordered 3 of those when they first came out . Two of the 3 had consectutive serial numbers so I kept those two and sold the other to a friend .
Cylinder throats are right at .452 and the chambers are at a perfect .480 which make them shoot beautiful .
Mine are #'s 1427 and 1428 out of 1500 made .

Divorce would surely follow.

Serial # SDS1253
And I bought it NIB in '94 not '84. It had sat in the display case at Gart Bros. in Grand Junction for almost 5 years.

Mine is 45ACP, and one of the first made. It shoots beautifully and is a real confidence builder on the range for those who come shooting and haven't had much exposure to big-bore revolvers. I expect I will add another 625 to the herd somewhere down the road. For an unfired gun of this model, the price seems fair.

You guys crack me up. 2 years ago EZMUnnY asks if he should buy this gun....
and you are still telling him he should.

We never did find out IF he 'pulled the trigger' .

Basically, I collect .38s/.357s but I have ALWAYS wanted a Model 25 in .45/c so, YES, I'd be all over that if it were me.

I have sold guns in the past in order to buy other guns; lots of us do that!

Allen guess that is what happens when you don't pay attention to the details! (like the date of the 1st post)

Maybe EZMUnnY will see this and give us an update.

A few weeks ago I posted a WTB for a 25 and/or 625 in 45 Colt. It took awhile but two forum members stepped up. One with a 25-9, 4", blue, in the box. It appears to be unfired by the original owner, his son, or the most recent owner. Another forum member offered a 625-5 SDS, no box, gently used but not abused for $865.00 shipped. I'm going to shoot that one!

So the 625-5 SDS Colt is kinda a grail gun for me. So I brought this post back up, anyone know of one around?


Almost had one but the Member decided to keep it another year or so....

Just a "Super Fun" local shoot put on by the Lake County Deputy Sheriff's Association to generate funds for community projects and youth programs. This was the 5th year they've put on this shoot and every year the courses change and Good Folks and even better Friends come from all over the area to have a great time making smoke and ringing steel. I got spanked this year in the L/E division (Chance...I'm coming for ya next year my Friend!), but I squeaked by in the Revolver division and the 3-Gun match. The best part of the day was when my Buddy LLoyd took the Senior division AND the "Top Gun" trophy home!!! He's been training hard to get that trophy and it shows. CONGRAT's BUDDY!!!

Here's what a HAPPY S&W 625 Classic Looks like...



...and this is the S&W 45Colt I'm going to shoot next year (I just swapped the target trigger out and put in a combat trigger. I think the Target hammer held me back in speed this year, so I'll see if this trigger will help make a difference)...


THANKS AGAIN LCDSA (and ALL the local businesses who donated raffle items)... We had a BLAST!!!

If I wasn't actively looking for another particular type of pistol right now, I'd jump on this. The .45 Colt is an awesome cartridge, and I love 5-inch barrels.

I own a 4" model 25-5 and it's my favorite firearm in my favorite caliber. I'd jump on this one in a hot minute! That stainless 5 incher looks gorgeous.

I have one of the 629-4 5" Classics and really like it. I would love to find one in .45 Colt!

BTW, our Nframes are going through the roof pricewise.....
