My new S&W 625-5

[newfrontierfirearms]

I just traded a couple of my Uberti 1873 Colt SAA replicas in .44-40 for an unfired, as new in the box S&W Model 625-5 "Light Hunter", this revolver is chambered in .45 Colt and has a 6-inch ported slab-side barrel with a dove-tailed front sight, typical micro-click rear sight and wooden Hogue Mono-grips. It also came with the PC aluminum "suitcase" and cardboard "shipping box" with a product code number 170136. I can't seem to find any information about this fine revolver, such the distributor & value.....any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Walt.

Introduced in 1999 for RSR, according to Supica & Nahas.

Value would be, presumably, steep, as is customary for anything with the Performance Center logo. It would probably depend on how badly someone wanted one for their collection, but I'd guess it'd trade on the north side of five or five-and-a-half bills.
