Comments? Well, I like them! Especially #2.

The word JEALOUS comes to mind GW
Yep number 2 is the one I like!
Jealous I am!
I have a 4" version of your Number 2 and I love it. Mine is blue though, it would be nice if the frame was case blued but it isn't and I will use it like it is. Mine is a Thunder Ranch Special. james
Jealous here Guess I am the odd duck! I like #1 Thats a 325 right Right now I have 3 SW 625's 3in 4in and a 5in. But they are a load on the belt GW
I have never seen a S&W revolver with a case color frame. Very different.
I think there are worse places for you to be than Starline's backorder list for Auto Rim brass, and if you don't have a mold for the 452423 yet, you should get busy!:awesome:
Love #2, and extremely jealous. Both are amazing
My experience with S&W .45 acp revolvers is that their cylinder throats are huge. My 25-2 has .456" throats.
I currently have a S&W 625-8 JM Special with 4” barrel. I gave my 5” Model 625-6 to my youngest son. Both of them have .4525” cylinder throats. They are extremely accurate with my home cast Mihec correct copy of the H&G #68 sized .452”. I have personally checked the cylinder throats on several other .625-8’s at our local club and they are also correct.
NuJudge, I am not disagreeing with you on earlier revolvers. However, it appears that Smith have the newer revolvers correct!
As you might suspect I am a BIG fan of the later 625’s!
FWIW

I love my 325 PD Airlite.

Why!
I've never understood using an auto pistol cartridge in a revolver.
I believe it was started in WWI because Colt could not make enough 1911s so they had botH S&W & Colt chamber their big revolvers for the 45 ACP using half moon clips. The practice was also done in WWII. Others on this site know much more about this than I do.
That is absolutely correct-- wartime expediency. But, users liked the ACP cartridge in the revolver so much that they continued to make them. And, if you find the clips to be a nuisance, there is the .45 ACP Auto Rim cartridge.

Years back I bought a titanium Tauris revolver very light I liked so much about it but the use of the Tauris Steller clips was not good the 45 auto rim cases where to thick and the revolver would not close I shortened some 45 Colt cases and they worked but not eject the gun was made to use the Tauris clips. None of my Tauris have been keepers .
I really like that color case hardened revolver.
I do have an "ACP" (45 Auto) cylinder for my 45 SA and no clips of any kind!

Beautiful revolvers sir. I like the .45 ACP round in autos and revolvers. It’s a good round . What’s not to like? I will admit to using the rimmedcase a lot, but the clips do make for a speedy reload.
