I saw a mtn gun in a shop yesterday. I am almost positive it said 625-5. I was also under the impression it was in 45 colt. My blue book does not show this pistol. Can anyone give me any info? Also is $460 otd too much for a 98+% pistol?

Thanks,
Mike

I have a 25-5, the N frame in .45 LONG :p Colt, with a 4" barrel. Since the "6" designates a SS revolver, I'd expect similar performance to mine, which is excellent, not rare in Nframes...

Thanks swifter. Can anyone tell me what these are going for in thier neck of the woods?

The MG(Mountain Gun) 625 should be a 625-6 and have a 4" barrel if it's a 45 LC chambered gun. SN should start CAY45 or something like that. There were different variations of the 625-5, but not in a MG configuration that I'm aware of. There are others who know 625s so maybe they can comment. You can ask if it has a box and get the product code from the box or post a partial SN like I did above. That would help narrow this particular 625 down.

Around here guns are expensive, like everything else, so anything under $500 for an N-Frame in good to excellent condition is alright.

As for caliber it could be 45 Long Colt or 45 ACP. There was a run of 45 ACP MGs in 2000, those should be 625-7s. All 625-5s should be 45 Long Colt.

Off-topic, but does anyone know the differences between each revision from 625-3 through 625-6? I have a couple choices available to me on the auction sites.

Thanks,

Thanks Reaper, I will have to go look again. I knew I should not have stopped in there.

I traded a dealer for a NIB 625-9 45LC MG about three months ago. It was priced at $550. with the Ahrends cocobolo grips if that helps you with prices any. PS - It is a very well made and very accurate revolver. I shot it again yesterday.

My 625 MG, late 2001 vintage, was bought new 8/02 for $499. The same dealer replaced mine with a Magna Ported version in his new S&W case for $519. He now has the Ahrends gripped version (with hammer lock), a special for the local (Birmingham, AL) 'Bangers' distributor, for $549. I loved my .45 Colt MG... until I got a .44 version (629MG) later last fall. I really like the 629MG, my first .44, mainly with .44 Specials and Russians. Great looking revolvers - especially with the S&W #21991 square-round butt conversion grips ($62.27 from S&W).
