Default Night Sights

Lou NC bought the gun that way thats a Mepro front and rear night sight comb, Really work good at night or dark situations, for me though at this stage of the game, can't quite focus on the front sight during daylight conditions. Thinking about a gold bead up front.

625 “Pre-Mountain Gun” !
Springfield Armory Commemorative.
I will never figure out why S&W refused to make a production run of this gun !

Wow! What a collection sir! Nice 25's everyone!

I love the round and own 3 1911's and pack a Colt Commander. It's utterly accurate and so far has been 100% reliable as I had it worked over for function and reliability by my old friend J.D. Jones from SSK Industries. He does great work and if you have a Thompson Contender his .375 JDJ round and barrel works on any animal in North America. Took a nice Roosevelt elk with it up on Rasberry Island, Ak. and it went down with one shot to the shoulder years ago. With a ported barrel recoil is not bad. Off the subject, sorry.

My Springer .45 was accurized for Bulleye matches and will shoot a .75 group at 25 yards all day. What kind of accuracy can I expect for this round and revolver in the 5" non IL version? I shot a friends 6" and was not impressed with it's accuracy with WWB ammo. Should have tried some of my reloads as I'm sure it would shoot much better with the right load.

I really need one of the .45 revolvers as I have TONS of .45 ammo, but no revolver. Been looking for a 3", but just might go with the longer 5" lugged barrel as these babies look cool and the 3" versions are priced to high for me.

Thanks for the pics!

NavyFrank, Cropped Brazilian is a very interesting gun, know anything about it's history? Looks like something out of " Raider of the Lost Ark". Like it .My father was on LSM 371, in Tokyo Bay for the signing of the peace.

My meager pair.
A "-4" and a "-3".

Had another "-3" stolen from my home in Little Rock, AR back in '05.
I hope to have (BEN4742) returned to me one day.

WOW!! I never realized that I would get so many pictures of incredible .45 ACP revolvers when I started this thread. Not only have I enjoyed "the show", but I have also learned a lot about this incredible revolver platform! I now want to add an older model 25 to my collection!

Thanks for all the pictures to-date! PLEASE keep them coming!!

I just had a 4" Mountain Gun barrel installed on my Model 625-8....Now it is much lighter and easier to pack around:

Here are my two S&Ws. The top is a M25-2 with a 6 1/2" barrel and it is a great shooter. I used it in competition enough to want a 4" barrel version, so I made the bottom revolver from a M28-2 by reboring and rifling the existing barrel (Dick Nickel, deceased, did that) and installing a cylinder from a 25-2. Also installed a frame lug for a 25-2 and eventually reshaped the grips to better fit my hand. I did round the grip frame but prefer the fit of the square style, should have considered that before I grabbed the file!



This 45 ACP came back to me and I did not realize how much I had missed it.



Not a Colt, but an Italian replica. Good shooter but it will not replace the 28-2 as my American Express revolver.

Wow, you guys are making my mouth water! I had my hands on a 625 w/5" barrel for a few months that my brother so kindly loaned me. I had to give it back because I was considering going on the lam so I could keep it. Being of modest means, I have yet to get one of my own but I'm finally getting to where if I can find the right one, I might be able to pull it off. You guys are making me reprioritize, who needs cable TV?

How'd I miss this thread? I think I just wasn't dialed in to .45 ACP revolvers at the time it started. But a couple of months later I made an opportunity purchase of this 625-3, which I ran into on the consignment shelf after a trip to the range. In the last six months it has become one of my favorite revolvers:






I already had this really nice 1917 that I got from Handejector about three years ago in a Black Friday sale.



That gun and a Brand C 1917 went together with my Uncle Ralph's campaign hat for a WWI group:



And there is this postwar Brazilian that was kind of beat up when I got it. But after feeding it a a few new parts (crane, ejector rod, stocks), adjusting the end shake, and cleaning up some burrs and gouges at the muzzle, I now have a reliable shooter that enjoys responsibility as one of the HD guns around the house.

A one-of-a-kind that was made from a Brazilian 1917 Smith & Wesson. Somebody put on a 3 1/2" ribbed barrel and an FDL Wondersight and hard chromed it. The works are nice and tight and it really shoots and the price was right.

Thank you. I don't mind at all.

I am amazed that Ralph's hat and two battle revolvers nearly a century old could still be in such good condition. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have them. (I don't mean to imply that they are my uncle's guns; the only thing those items share is the WWI chronology.)

No 25-3 ?

I had mine cut for moonclips and used 250grains handloaded ACP.
Worked like a charm
Drilled and mounted a ramp and a red dot on it to.
Upset a few here in Sweden i might ad

Unfortunatly sold it some time ago.

Wish i could find a beater 1917 to use instead.
