Another request, it would be nice if the cylinder for the 44 was cut to accept full moonclips.

Yes, they are both N Frames. Mountain Gun versions of both the 625 (.45 Colt or .45 ACP) and 629 have been built. These have the tapered "pencil" barrel, as shown above.
The 625 is often found with a full-lugged 4" barrel, as shown on this Jerry Miculek model:
A 629 with the same style of barrel would look similar, but I don't know if S&W has ever made a full-lug "Classic" version in the shorter barrel length; they are generally 5", 6-1/2", or 8-3/8".
The standard 629 barrel is a heavy, half-lugged barrel like this:
Blued Model 25s in both .45 ACP and .45 Colt have been made in this barrel length and contour, but I don't think it has been done with the stainless 625. Of course, S&W will make almost anything using a standard frame and cylinder for a distributor willing to place a large enough order.
Here's a look of my Mountain Gun wearing Herrett's stocks...

Are they going to do a 625 Canadian in 45 ACP?
+1 on 4.2" 629 Mountain Gun
- keyless a bonus, but not a deal breaker
This does seem to suggest that cats are – generally speaking – quick-to-anger control-freaks that act without forethought.
Did someone say 629 Mountain Revolver?
Or a 629 heavy barrel?
I'm your huckleberry.
I would prefer 629 full underlug heavy barrel.

Perfect!
