One of my favorites!
It's actually a 5", correct grips and a super accurate wonderful shooting pre-lock, pre-mim revolver. Try it, I bet it will become a keeper!
Around my way 750-800 without box and papers.

I just have way too many guns, traveling more, less time to take care of them. This is a beauty, if fired, it was very little !! Are the grips right for it ?

Do a quick search for 625-3 and you will find ALOT of threads here. It's a .45 ACP and is designed to be used with full moon clips.
Early issue with the problem Pachmayr grips. The grip screw interferes with the main spring. How could that be you ask ? Well the factory just never even considered such so those Pachmayrs didn't last long. The story behind this was interesting but not mine to tell.

Wow, I would get rid of it as quick as possible. Send it to me and I'll dispose of it properly for you.

I owned one of those with the Pachmayr grips once. Solved the mainspring interference problem by drilling holes in the correct places then relocating the screw/nut. I filled the holes in the grips with some black RTV compound.

Not really down on it, but started an inventory today, 153 rifles, 63 pistols and counting...... Plus all the ammo, bayonets, etc, etc, etc... Too many toys....
maybe a $1000 if it was LNIB & had everything and you find the right buyer... it will sell... easily

Here in CT, it would get put in the counter with $1000 on the hang tag and it'll be gone in a day.
Pre Lock N-Frame that shoots 45acp?
$1000 all day.
Mine is a hoot.

I am sure that you are getting PMs on it with offers already.
Maybe someone will offer you a good deal that you can't pass up.
The Pre-Lock 625s are not too commonly seen like some other S&Ws.
If you are looking to sell off stuff, this Forum does have a classifieds section and the members here are really top notch folks.
I'd be happy to drive up to Volusia and take it off your hands for you!
Sounds to me like you are just getting started
.You may want to consider selling off a few other pieces to keep what obviously has several people drooling. Personally, I am not that hot on stainless or nickel guns. My 45acp is the blued 25-2.

Mostly a collector of battle guns. Used to have many many S&W's, now maybe just a couple others.

I have no idea what that means Diesel....
Been sitting here sipping coffee, finally Googling this orphan pistol, lots of info and posts about them, guess a lot of people like them. Also have a Model 10 short barrel, in box , will have to post that one later. Maybe someone will want both !!!

Surprised at the valuation but who knows at $1k. Consider selling in the classified ads here. They would be bought by fellow collectors who appreciate them. Start higher end then gradually adjust price if you want. Just an idea. Best, TH
If you don't like the Pachys (I didn't like them on mine, which I bought in early 1989) you can change them out easily.
Here's how mine looks right now (without having been cleaned from the last firing).
As others here have said, these are magnificent guns in every way.

drop the Pachmayrs, get yourself a Hogue Fancy Wood grip w/o finger grooves and with striped cap and you will find that this is probably THE FINEST target revolver of your 63 pistols. If not, make someone else happy. They sell for about 800 - 1000 € over here in Germany - if you can find one at all.

If you shoot it, you'll never sell it!

This is a fact. I have two of these 4" and 5". They are so much fun to shoot I am planning on selling off my 45 automatics. I need a 3" to complete the trio.

They look much better with the wood grips !!! Still not a keeper though....
