What is the smallest, lightest 45acp revolver?

[Clark]

I have a 25-2, and that can't be the lightest and smallest.

 

[StrawHat]

It is one of them.

The Taurus thing might be lighter.

Probably be a S&W 325PD. S&W's performance center made (makes?) a fugly little one w/ a 2" barrel and I think a 3" w/ day-glo sites. Scarce and pricey.
Taurus used to make one as well if memory serves, but haven't seen that offering in years.

S&W 625-10

Small and too light for the caliber IMO

 

[Photoman]

I have a five shot Taurus snub in .45acp. It's small, but not light. All stainless steel.

 

[Ala Dan]

I will have to second the S&W 325PD~!

 

[Biker]

I carry a Taurus Titanium 450 (45LC) - 2" barrel, weighs in at about 17oz. The Taurus 455 is 45 ACP and weighs the same. I ankle carry mine all day. I like it.

Lightest = 325PD
Smallest = 625-10

The gun shop I frequent has a now discontinued Taurus Tracker in total titanium with fixed sights and a 4 inch barrel. 5 shots. I can't remember but it weighs around 21-23 oz, I believe. I am continually tempted by it and then wonder why they discontinued them. Still...I am a fan of fixed sight revolvers...Honestly, I'd be more tempted if it were all stainless steel, not being entirely sold on titanium revolvers.

I think Biker nailed it with the Titanium Taurus.

I have a 445? the 5 rounder in .44 special and it is small & light.

But, I think it is discontinued now.

I also have the S&W 325PD in .45 acp with the 2 3/4 inch barrel it is light around 22oz empty but an N frame so its large in size

Still it feels so good in my hand - its my current nightstand gun.

I shot a 625-10. It was quite a handful, which surprised me greatly. I'd rather shoot full-house .44Mag out of my 3" 629 Trail Boss.

Quoting Ayoob; "The accuracy of the 625-10 was aggreivous, 2" barrel not withstanding".

 

[Rexster]

The smallest .45 sixgun I like is a Colt Sheriff's Model. Mine is .45 Colt, not ACP, but USFA can build a Sheriff's Model to order in .45 ACP. Single action, of course, which does not bother me.

Gary A: I'm still kickin' myself for not buying one or two of those when CDNN was selling the last of them at $299. If I ever find one at a good price, I'll grab it.

The only complaint I have about the .45acp Tracers; you can't shoot Auto Rim in them.

 

[Gary A]

Photoman - you can call them if you like at 618-628-7480. I don't remember what they are asking for it (they are generally reasonable) and don't know if you would be interested in having them ship it to you unseen to a dealer of your choice. But, there is the number just in case. SW Illinois.

 

[Photoman]

Thanks Gary. I'll have to see if I can get approval from the accounting department.

 

[Bear41mag]

I have a 4" Taurus Tracker 5 shot .45acp revolver that is about equal to a K frame Smith. Not a bad shooter, but if I could find a 2" I would trade it off.
I had a Taurus 2" .44 special titanium that I wish I would have never gotten rid of, great shooter and a dream to carry.

 

[20nickels]

The .45's don't seem to be "as" senstive to energy loss in the short barrels vs. other cartridges. Great power to weight ratio in these snubbies. Just thinking out loud.
