Whish 45acp Revolver do you like best?

I have been looking to get a 45acp revolver for a while now and I am sure by the time I am done I will have a bunch but until then I was wondering which you like the best?

Some that are on the top of my list are:
S&W 625
S&W 325PD
Ruger KBNV-44X-C
 
MY FAVORITE 45ACP SIXGUN IS A 4 3/4"

COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY.
This was built as a 45ACP/45COLT convertible and shoots charmingly well with both cartridges. It hits a tiny bit high with the 45COLT 250'S and a tiny bit low with the 45ACP 200-230GR bullets. It is the only 45ACP convertible I have [ I think there is six of 'em in the safe ] that has digested more 45ACP ammunition than 45COLT ammunition and it is always in my gun box.
 
Today... it's this 625 V-comp.

I've got a 325 on order, so things may change, but I doubt it...

With jealous thanks to Frosty Price...

(Who, by the way, is gonna let me know firsthand if he ever decides to sell it, right?) This one! :D

I'm with the 1917 guys! Smith M25 second and crowbait mountain gun third with the equally ugly 625 fourth,
 
S&W 625 4", action job, gold dot front sight....nuff said!

I have the exact same things done to mine, 'cept mines a 5"...butter smooth and more accurate than it has any right to be.

I have both a S&W 1917 95% and a 625 PC V Comp 4 inch. Love to shoot them both. The 625 is used during IDPA and Bowling pin matches. It sure gets a few looks when against a 1911 loaded to 6 rounds on the first mag, and I can beat them with a reload.

Now I'm look'n for a 4 inch 627PC V-Comp....
 
I have a 625, it's a nice gun. I have never shot one of the older models, sure would like to. I recently shot a friends S&W Scandium PC revolver, schweet!
But it would be cool to have an older blued Smith, with maybe a 3" barrel,
that used my favorite caliber!
 
I have several 625's, but perhaps my favorite among them is a 5" 625-3 that has been to Clark Custom Guns for their .460 Rowland conversion and a full action job. It's the sweetest N-frame trigger imaginable now, and can shoot .45 ACP, .45 Super or .460 Rowland with equal accuracy. With the .460's, it delivers over 1300 fps with 230gr. loads and over 1500 fps with 185gr. loads - puts it between the .41 and .44 Magnum rounds in performance. Lovely, lovely gun! :D

I love the three 625's that I have. They are the epitome of fun! No chasing brass all over. Especially important at indoor ranges. The guns are simply the some of the most accurate guns I own. You can load them down or up, and it makes no difference they just are fun to shoot.
 
Majic is that a 625 with a 2 1/2" barrel?

No, it's one of the 3 inchers produced in 1989. The goodyears were removed and combat stocks added.

I too would like a M26, but they seem all but non-existant. :(
 
This 625 .45ACP P.C. shop gun is a sweet piece. Wearing Spegel's PLUS series combats. Shoots better than anyone I know can hold.
