S&W 45acp Revolver Search

That price is high. I bought a 625-8 from Gander mt. last year for $600 .It is one of my fav , guns and goes to the range almost every time. My Grandson likes it so much I had to promise it to him when he`s lod enough.

I recently bought a like new 22-4, 4 inch with the case hardened looking frame. Paid $600. It's the most accurate revolver I've ever owned and I've had a dozen or so over the years. No need for adjustable sights. It's perfect with 230 grain RNL

I agree with you. The frame is real color case hardened by Doug Turnbull.

I paid $565 for a 625-3 4" with box and tools last summer. I like it a lot but wouldn't give $1,100 for it.

What R*E said is about the low price to buy at. The prices have dropped alot these dats since last years gun scare with congress. But,,,, you might try 500 or as low as $435 to be your lowest offer.

I have a JM and it is a lot of fun to shoot.

A handful of EZ moonclips makes for alot of quick shooting.

The 45Super loads from Underwood take this gun to where it can really perform in the woods and yet you can still plink w/ ACP's.

The SA trigger is crisp and light and a joy to have.

Pachmayr decelerator grips are soft and cover the backstrap.

North Mountain has moonclip holders for your belt.

You won't be sorry.

I also have a 625 JM. Have changed the grips several times. I shoot it more than any other revolver I own. I like the RIMZ poly moon clips. Easy to use, no tools required. S&W brand very good also. Bob

Don't mean to hijack this thread, been following with interest. I'm in the market for a .45acp revo if anyone finds a good deal...

Fwiw, my wife loves her 25-2!!!

Agree sounds high, however 45 revolvers are addictive.

Which revolvers are not addictive?

My 625 with 5" barrel is my go to gun for all type of competition. Easy to handle against paper or steel from anywhere from 5ft to 75ft rapid fire. The 625 is quick and easy to reload using full moon clips. I also use a model 19-2 combat but if I had to gave only one revolver it would be the 625.

Model 25-14. I've added a Tyler T-Grip since this photo was taken. Carries like a dream and boy does it shoot!

 

[M29Classic]

I gave $849 new for my 625 JM. One of the best guns I have.

Hey VAPA
It may be a bit high in price for that one but, it is a 4 inch, and you don't see alot of those. I have a bunch of these. They are the " Most Fun to Shoot" revolvers!

Thunder Ranch Solid Revolver

I really like my Thunder Ranch. I find it does eject spent casings better when you use moon clips. I had never used them before so it took a little getting used to and I had to purchase a bunch to make range reloading simpler. I also bought a clip loading tool because they can get bent if you try to get cartridges in or out too forcibly. The revolver is a well balanced marvel. Sits comfortably in the hand with a vey solid feel. It's big and heavy and it sucks up a lot of the recoil. b You'll also want to invest in the high grade holster recommended by Clint and Heidi Smith. I've never owned a 625 so I cannot fairly compare the two.

625-2, came from the factory with pachmayrs which are tucked away somewhere. One of the best shooting pistols I've shot.

I own 1999 5" 625. Shot it as intended out of box at the 2000 S&W IDPA Winter Nationals. Love that gun.

625/325

I have both. Have had 25s & 625s for 40+ yrs & they are great. Easy shooting & accurate. My bedside gun is a 625 4". It is also my practice revolver for combat shooting.

I got a 325PD when they first came out & have had 3. My 325 is a favorite carry gun & is easy to shoot for a light weight revolver with +P loads & very accurate at combat range.

I havn't had the Thunder Ranch since the 625s can't be beat for me or for carry the 325 is great.

What you need to do, if possible, is shoot them or similar & see which you like best, but if not, you can't beat the 625s.

PS you can almost buy 2 625s for that price

 

[tomrkba]

A friend of mine bought the 325 TR and I got to try it. I disliked the recoil pattern immensely. The 625 was far softer and easier to control.

And, as mentioned, you can buy two 625's for one 325.

Here is the one I picked up Monday:

 

[M29since14]

It's true that you don't see so many 4-inch guns, at least I don't, but that $1100 price is too far off the mark, as far as I am concerned.

625s are way too heavy to carry concealed, IMO, so unless you mean carry as an outdoorsman, on a really sturdy gun-belt, forget it. The 325 will bring the gun down to approximately Commander-weight but it is bigger and thicker, so nothing much is gained in that way. I'd buy a 625 for shooting and something else to carry. 625s are great revolvers. As others have said, very accurate and a lot of fun to shoot. Big holes - very little recoil!

 

[oneflycowboy]

The 625's are great guns and fun to shoot. I've had one for a few years and plan on getting another.

I have a 5" model of 1988 and now plan on picking up a 4" as well.

Here's a pic of my 88
