Welcome, a 625 is a N frame that is chambered in 45acp.

The original Mod 25 and the 25-2 are 45 ACP, and the 25-5 was in 45 Colt. The 625 is the newer stainless version. The original Mod 1917 a WW1 revolver was in 45 ACP, as well as it's clone the Brazilian Model of 1937.

Also, the more recent model 22-4, fixed sight .45 ACP, with a 4 or 5.5" barrel (the latter very similar to the 1917 Army).

I take they are all N-frames
really like shooting my 29-3 and 27-2
will they also have the same sights?? white outline rear red ramp front??

Nels, here's a thread that you might want to look at, if you haven't already seen it.

They are all N frames. Some will have ramp sights, with or without the RR, and the rear sights may or may not have the white outline. The target guns with 6+ inch barrels will generally have the patridge sight, as do most if not all of the 625s, at least with longer barrels.

S&W currently still makes a 625, 325 and the Model 22 of 1917. Also, the Governor will fire .45 ACP and LC. A few years ago, S&W made a model 21 (.44 spl) and my personal favorite, the model 22, which I hope to find one day. For awhile, you could get the Model 21, 22 and 1917 in color case hardened steel options. Although the original models of these were never color case hardened. There's a model 22 on GB right now that looks similar to this:
