625-3

This was basically alluded to previously but not spelled out. Bottom line...on the internet 45ACP revolvers command a premium. Especially the even less common older ones. On the internet the prices for these revolvers is flat-out insane. Here is why....
Across the land in local dealers far and wide, 45ACP revolvers are an anomolily. Most people either want a traditional revolver in the traditional calibers, or for all that weight, they want a magnum caliber. The moon-clips make them even odder.
In local markets 45acp revolvers can sit and sit and sit. A dealer who is selling on the net, or familiar with the competition circuit will price them at a premium. A local-yokel FFL can very easily have a 45ACP revolver priced to move since everybody skips it.
Until the JM 625 model came out, that was the basic trend of 45acp revolvers over the years. Niche market. Never sold a ton. Hence not a ton made. Factor into that a reputation from sometime in the past when model 25's in 45acp sometimes were horrible in regards to accuracy. These opinions exist to this day in old-timer circles.
You want a 45ACP revolver in a "coveted" configuration? Get off the net and hit the gun shows and every new gun-shop life brings under your nose.
You'll find your 3" 45 revolver at what you will think is a steal.

is the 610 10 mm more costly because it is more desirable than the various 45 acp revolvers or because less of them have been made. just curious

Hey Everyone, I came across this thread about the model 625's. I have a 625-6 in 45acp. I was hoping to find out some info on the revolver. The serial number is CDD70** I was wondering when it was built. Thanks for any help..Ray
