Is a Mod 25-2 close enought?

Mine is a 6in model ( made 1982) Love mine. Great target gun 45ACP is a great revolver round. ( See American Handgunner article this month)

What's not to like? This is my first five-incher, hopefully not my last...........

 

[10mmauto]

which caliber

Anyone have one in .45 Long Colt? I'm looking at a used 625-3 4" and when I called Smith they said it was .45 LC. The barrel says 45 Cal Model of 1989. How else can I tell which caliber it is?

Thanks.

 

[toroflow1]

Yep, I like em, both 3" and 4":

Kinda fond of this one

625-3 with polished flutes...

10mm if it has model of 1989 on it it is a 45acp.

 

[ralph7]

i had one and it had what was to me, excessive frame/crane tolerance (slop).
i have seen more than one of this model like that.

not knocking your guns, maybe yours are tight.
just noticed the quality control during this guns production was spotty.

I have two 625's - a 5" Model of 1989 625-6 and a 4" JM Special 625-8. Both are in .45 ACP and are two of the best shooting revolvers I have ever owned (and that has been a bunch). They have become, in the last three years, my two most used revolvers.

If yours are like mine, you have a DANDY!

I cast my own bullets and shoot a Mihec clone of the H&G #68 200gr SWC at target velocities, mostly. However, I also have a NOE mould that throws a 250 gr Keith (454424 Lyman clone) which is suitable for deer hunting (you can safely and easily get 900+fps which equals or exceeds the original .45 Colt load with a MUCH better shaped and more effective bullet). The original .45 Colt was spec'd to shoot through a horse at 100 yards (U.S. Army standards), so that is pretty good company.

The cylinder throats on both of my revolvers are right at .452". I size my bullets at .452" for a perfect fit.

Good shooting!

Yup!
Top one is a "-4"
Bottom one is a "-3"

 

[WFR]

Yep, I like em, both 3" and 4":

Ken,
I'm loving that 4" 625!
One of these days!
I'll settle for a 5" 625-3 or 625-4.

I sure like my 3" M625-3

Affirmative. Excuse the 627...

Those stocks are... well... ostentacious! But in a good way!

 

[ColbyBruce]

I have owned this one about sixteen years.

 

[Maximumbob54]

This is one club I joined with a little reluctance. But it only took one range visit to know I made a good decision. This is yet another one that I'm sure is capable of better accuracy than I can give.

I guess I'm due for a new set of Ahrends for this one after seeing some of the nice wood on some of these...

 

[Mack]

Yup!

Is the top gun a -3 or a -4?

I hear ya! I was really looking for a black/gray laminate grip but Nill only makes the wacky blue laminate so I went with that. They do feel and fit superbly.
