625-3 I Don't Want.......

[CH4]

Are the .45ACP models more desirable than the .45LC models?

Yes, as Rick said the 45 acp is more desirable in the 625. In addition to my 3 and 5 inch 625s, I have two Mountain Guns in 45 Colt, 625-6 and 25-13. I appreciate all of them equally.

It got to the stage that in one of the shooting sports (not IPSC) the 5" 625 was banned because it fitted into the "commercial box parameters", and then out shot all of the other types (read mainly 1911's) so it had to be a 4" barrel to compete. Simply put, the other guys hated being beaten by what was effectively a stock revolver. I still enjoy shooting my early 5" with either moon clips or my own reloads in 0.45 AR. Dave_n

I'm not a competition shooter, but I remember when this happened. Used 5" 625s started showing up for sale at very reasonable prices as the guys sold them off to buy 4" guns.

I picked up a nice 625-2 with a Millett site at a very good price. I bought it even though I already had a 4" 625-3 that I purchased very reasonably before the rule change.

I still have them both and I doubt I will ever sell them.

I bought a 5 inch 625-6 in .45 ACP in 1999 to shoot as our club was just getting interested in shooting that particular match. Alas, the rules changed, I safed the gun and just got it out to shoot this spring. Poor thing waited 20 years for some action. I've put about 500 rounds of AR ammo through it this spring and a couple hundred ACPs. Its all MIM inside, but no lock and it shoots pretty good!

I see that you already have some interest.

You're too late! It's mine!

This came in a group I bought, any ideas on value ? 4,75" barrel. In .45 cal - not sure which.... Ugly grips - not sure if it came that way or not.... Any value opinions ?

I certainly have been enjoying it! I ditched the Pach's right after I got it and put this beautiful set of Culina combat stocks on it.
