New (to me) 45 ACP Revolvers

Here are 2 45 ACP revolvers I have purchased within the past 2 weeks.

The first is a Taurus Tracker Titanium 4" in 45 ACP. I had been looking for a Tracker 455 for a while and finally found this one 2 weeks ago in Cleveland.

At less than 24 ounces I was surprised at how manageable the recoil was. The SA trigger was crisp and light but DA trigger was gritty. I took off the side plate and cleaned it thouroughly and polished the bearing surfaces and it smoothed it out considerably. I have ordered a Wolff spring kit the lighten it up some. A very accurate shooter.

The other 45 is a 625-2 Model of 1988. I had been searching for an early 625 for a while and last night I found that the local Cabelas had one in inventory. I got to the store as they opened this morning and brought it home.

This is what it looked like when I got it home. It had a scope mount attached which I removed.

I had purchased a set of grips from Ebay for a K frame and they didn't fit. After a good cleaning of the 625 I tried them on and they fit nicely with a few minor mods.

The trigger on the 625 is really delightful. I have several other S&W revolvers and none have as nice a trigger as this. Looking forward to shooting it.

You're going to love that 625. Its my favorite gun.

The 625 or older model 25 is one of my favorite revolvers. Fun to shoot and very accurate. I know you will enjoy yours.

Crap why did you have to put pictures of that 625 on here. That is a cool looking gun. Now I am going to have to try to get one. I just bought a S&W 44 mag. Want to trade? hehe.

Why did the previous owner drill and tap the top of the barrel? That would have been a deal breaker for me and IIRC if you remove the rear sight there are holes arlready there to mount a scope or red dot sight.

I have a 625 JM, fantastic revolver!

I have two 625's Perf center & 5" ...love shooting those guns.
