Model of 1989

[silicosys4]

How many S&W's models were marked "Model of 1989" or "Model of 1988"? Which ones were roll marked and which ones were laser engraved?
I know the early 625's were roll marked 1988 and laser engraved 1989, the 627's were, and a run of Model 25's I believe.
I have a 625-2 laser engraved 1989, and a 627-0 roll marked 1989, so I'm confused as to when roll marks changes to laser engraving.

I have a Model of 1989 625, too. I don't know why, but it's among the guns I shot best.

I don't believe anyone knows for sure how many 625-2s & 625-3s were made, but the transition from rollmark (-2), to laser engraving (-3) occurred in ~1989.

I have a 625-6 5" 45acp Model of 1989 with full underlug.
I don't see this model listed online. I was wondering when this was manufactured?
It's a very accurate revolver as well.
Also wondering if it is ok to shoot 45ACP+P ammo in it.
Thanks in advance !

Take this with a grain of salt, but number one we need the serial number and picture's help to tell what year it was made.
Basically we're just a bunch of Neanderthals and we get visually excited from pictures here on the forum…….
It could very well be made in 1989, because there was the model of 1988 that was before that, I don't think that there was any model of 1990 that I remember seeing, but it could've been made then. Also I don't think that it being a Model 625-6 would be correct to the Model of 1989, it should be a 625-2 or 625-3, but I may be wrong My wife tells me I am quite often.

I have a 625-6 5" that came directly from S&W to my FFL in early July, 2001, if that's of any help.
