I'd also like to see pics of the Jovino custom. That nickle 25-5 is a really nice looking 45. Here's my 45 snub. One of the 103 625-11s made a few years ago.

Some very nice guns indeed. When it comes to 45 ACP and short barrels I'm partial to my M25-14
When it come to N Frame Snubs I think the 45 ACP is the best choice.
Unless you already have a Fleet of 357's, 41 Mags, 44 Mags, or 45 Colts.
If so, you can taylor your chosen calibre loads for your favorite caliber to your N frame Snubby...
However, the 45 ACP S&W Snubby, with its full moon clips, is the fastest to reload, and easially controlable with any factory ammo.
I really like my 325 Night Guard...

Here is a simple pic of my 625-3 3". Love this revolver.
25-14
Best .45ACP carry gun I have. I even got the matching serial in nickle and then another with the serial # reversed.

Okay, here is my .45 Colt (and .45 Schofield, .45 ACP, etc) 'snub nose' - a 2.75" barrel. It weighs <30 oz - and recoil with .45 ACP/Colt is fine with the OEM boots shown alongside my Governor below - which sports Hogue/S&W .500 Magnum X-frame monogrips:
Whatever size savings the 2.75" barrel provides is quickly lost with that long cylinder. S&W has a Galco holster made for it:
And, here it is with my 24/7 EDC - a 642:
Okay, that isn't fair - the 642 weighs a hair over half what the Governor weighs - and can easily be pocket carried. Not so much the Governor! Still, it hits coincident POI/POA from 7-12 yd with it's fixed tritium Night Sight and either my 250gr Speer GDJHP .45 Colt, 240gr LRNFP .45 Schofield, or 230gr FMJ ball ammo in .45 ACP. And - if needed - it'll handle 2.5" .410 shot shells. My only 'snub nosed' .45!

Here's mine.
Started life as a 5", barrel changed so I could use it for IDPA.

My in the woods carry
Here is my 325NG with it's Lobo 1-SL pancake holster and the Federal 230 grain Hydra-Shok's I carry in it pretty much every time I am in the woods.
It is light to carry and the holster fits very well.
Cheers,
Rick

Here's my hard chromed Behlert 25-2. You guys have seen it a bunch of times, but, since you asked....

It's a Bowen Rough County rear sight with V-notch. It is my night guard. I switched the sights out because it hit about seven inches low at seven yards with 230 grain loads when I bought it with the original sight.
I took this picture after I installed the sight last year.

I have not posted a pic of mine, so here it is a M625-10.

I like that sight a lot, I have a 327NG that shoots low, that might e my solution. How does it match up to the big dot front sight?

It works out well for me. It's like dotting an "i" with a big dot. I rest the front sight in the V.
I like it. All of the loads I shoot out of my 325NG use 225-230 grain bullets, so this has made my POI match my POA. Of course, YMMV.
Cheers,
Rick
