45ACP Revolver - Opinion

[johNTO]

Buy the Redhawk in 45 Colt, buy a 357 cylinder, have it rechambered to 45 ACP and fitted to the Redhawk, and then you have exactly what you want. - dan

Now that's a great idea! I'm wondering if the two cylinders will be easy to swap out...without the use of tools of course.

If you're interested I saw a 625 (model of 1989) at phoenix range last week in Edmonton for $750. I would have bought it but already have one.

The 625 is a real sweet shooter and you just can't beat the moon clips.


take care,


John

Once it's fitted it's just like removing any cylinder for maintenance and you just replace it with the other one. Fairly simple, really. - dan

Barrel length?

The 625 at Phoenix was a 5 incher. It had a bobbed hammer and I think a fiber optic front sight.

I called Pheonix last week it's already gone.

My 625 - 2 is most accurate revolver.
Still I prefer my SA revolvers.

mmmmm I would love one of these 0.45 acp DA/SA revolvers since I already reload 0.45, what is the price range these go for??

I read a post on another site that mentioned a smith in the US who mods a Ruger .45LC cylinder to accept .45ACP/moonclips and still shoot .45LC!
This is the perfect solution. If a smith in Canada could do this, I'd be adding one to compliment my new 4.2" .44mag Redhawk I just ordered

$500-1800, depending on model. Some older, more rare S&W's go for more. Sometimes much, much more. - dan

any site sponsors carry S&W 625's, or should I be looking mostly on the EE

 

[dan belisle]

I was referring to all the S&W 45 ACP revolvers, not just the 625. 625 will be more in the middle of the price range. - dan

I have a 625.. My advise to you is.. don't buy it! tell me where you have found one so I can buy a second!

Seriously, one of my all time favorites!
