Default I need two 25's: .45 ACP & .45 Colt..

Hi, please help me with my education..

I "need" a Model 25 in .45 ACP with an about 6" barrel.
I also "need" a 25 in .45 Colt, also with an about 6" barrel.

What are the model names/dashes to look out for?
I've learned that the pre "ABC1234" type serials may have large throats and that one might want to avoid those.

How rare/common are the ACP/Colt variants?

I'm willing to settle for a 625, but I won't back down on the 6" - have the 625's been made in longer barrel lengths?

I realise that it's possible to mill a .45 Colt for .45 ACP - but I want two guns, not one

Probably the most common you will encounter and for sale will be the 25-2 (1955 Target Model in both 6 and 6.5") for ACP and the 25-5 for Colt.
The S&W 125th anniversary commemorative was 25-3 chambered for the Colt but with shorter cylinder of the -2 ACP.

In the model 25 guns an odd dash number should be a 45 colt and the even dash numbers 4acp. Many available in 6" some in 6 1/2", some in 4" and a few in 8 3/8" Fine caliber(s).
