I know this is really the Holy Grail, but I carried a Model 25 in the early 80s as a Deputy US Marshal and fell in love with the cartridge. Still have that Model 25 4” from then, however I just don’t want to carry it while hunting.

I’d really like to find a 625 3” that is accurate enough to kill snakes and possibly a 4 legged critter at moderate ranges. I love carrying 3” S&W revolvers in the field like my 696, 624 & Model 66 3”. I still have a 45 Colt 3” as a bucket list acquisition while I’m purging so many of my other guns from my collection.

Need a shooter, not a collector. Willing to put some smithing into one if needed and the price is reasonable.

Please let me know what y’all may come across that suits the bill.

Darn itches sometimes just need to be scratched!
