625 .45ACP

[SuperMan]

Except for .41 Magnums...

... .45 ACP S&W are hard to beat. If I was down to one gun and could not reload this 625-7 would be the gun I would want to own... Because I never shot it enough it now resides with a friend who has a modest collection on 25/525s and he would sell it back to me.

I did however keep one 625 mountain Gun that is one of my favorites to carry...if I carried a .45 that is.

Also had one of the SA Commemoratives but that went down the road also...

One can also shoot .45 Super from these with no ill effects... The tech at Buffalo Bore shoots them all the time from his 625 and he said that BB has a whole clientele who are S&W revolver owners who love the hot rounds...

Can't get any more all-around than that...

As the others have said price wise expect to pay in the high $600s for a typical 625 to $700s for the Mountain Gun to a grand+ for the PC guns...especially those without The Hole...

I shoot the BB 255gr HC FN and 185gr HP out of my 625-3 3". They are pretty snappy But nothing like the 335gr BB HC out of my SS BH Bisley. BTW, if you don't reload yet (like me), Double Tap makes a 335gr round that is about 1/2 the $ of BB for a box of 50.

625-2

There are two of these at Whitetail Outfitters in Christiansburg VA. The owner has a super sweet collection of SW revolvers and even has a 25-2 to round out a collection.

I paid a premium for my 5" 625-2...

That was $800 not including shipping but it was in perfect condition and was worth every penny. I don't regret buying it for a moment and would never sell it. The word is out on these guns and prices reflect this. The -2's are by my reckoning in the greatest demand.

As everyone can attest to, it's an incredibly accurate gun.
