Sweet!
Was that a DIY job?
Enquiring minds want to know...

The 5" 25-2 is a cut down custom job. It has a narrow smooth trigger and a Performance Center action job to go with it. It shoots very nicely, but I tend to feel the blued finish is more delicate than the stainless, so the stainless guns get shot more. The 25-2 is semi-retired.

A couple of years ago I picked up this 625-4 .45 acp with the 5" full underlugged barrel. It shot great, but it was just too nose heavy for my taste.
Wanting a lighter gun, I found a Mountain Gun barrel from Midway USA. I sent my gun to Frank at LSG Manufacturing in Texas. LSG has been an authorized Smith & Wesson warranty station for 32 years so I knew they could do the job.
The gun had a matte finish while the barrel was a bright stainless. To get the two parts to match they had to bead blast everything which resulted in a finish that could pass for factory. I am more than pleased with how Frank at LSG handled the work on my gun.

You ever decide to put that on the market, I'd like a PM/email. How are the chamber dimensions?

How about a .45acp Heavy Duty

I'll see that and raise you one
The throats are .4560" as measured with my pin gages and my internal mic. My 625PC measures .4522" with the pins and mic and my 625PC measures .4515". They all shoot the same: very well. The 25-2 originally had fairly bad chamber alignment. After I fixed that, it shot very well. I suspect the .45 ACP/AR stuff shoots well even with the large throats because the large pistol primer in the tiny case propels the bullet thru the chamber throats into the forcing cone before the gas pressure gets high enough to cause blow-by. Good barrel, good chamber alignment overcomes large throats. At least that is my guess. Does not work in .45 Colt.
Bought this 4" at a recent gun show. I wasn't really hunting for a 4", and that's why i walked right into this one. It came with the box and the original Pachs...now wearing some Combats.
...and the same 3" posted earlier in the thread.

I now have my Bowen project gun in hand. It was a 629-4, which I had converted to 45ACP. Bowen did all the cool stuff he does to a conversion. I just got it Thursday night, and managed to get a few rounds through it Friday. No photos yet, and I am not sure when I will get to shoot it again, but I am looking forward to it.
