I didn't even know they made one in .45 ACP.

Now I own one.

Can't wait to smoke up that purty blue.

I have had that model twice. I missed it enough after I sold it that i bought another one. And I regret getting rid of that one. I have been keeping an eye out for one for a while now. I think it is one of the sweetest shooting and most accurate revolvers I have ever shot.

I am really jealous now.

Very nice. Makes me miss the one I had.

I enjoy shooting my 625 in ESR for IDPA. Bring that pretty gun out and shoot a match with it sometime.

Sounds like a plan.

But I better practice up using these moon clips.

And do you get a time allowance for how long it takes to get a 6.5" barrel out of the holster?

Sweet!

I've liked the idea of a N-framed S&W in .45 ACP ever since I saw my first one. Then a guy at DPC let me shoot his 625 and it only confirmed that some day I would like to have a .arge framed .45 ACP revolver. The problem, of course, is weight. I already own a Model 29 with a 5" barrel, and it is a wonderful pistol. I love to shoot it. But it is also heavy and large and bulky, and (for me, anyway) it isn't a practical choice for a CCW. But then I saw the Model 325 about a year ago (when I was shopping for my M&P340) and I knew that I had to have one. This one that really interests me because it is a practical alternative for daily carry if what you're looking for is a large framed .45 caliber revolver:

The 625 JM is what I shoot and is the most common 625 I've seen at matches
