Built on S&W's stainless-steel N-frame, this 625-6 combines durability with a non-glare matte finish for a purposeful look. The 5-inch heavy barrel with a full-length underlug and serrated rib/topstrap provides balance and a steady sighting plane.
The revolver runs in double-action/single-action with a smooth-faced trigger and an exposed, checkered hammer spur. Sights include a black front sight and a micrometer-adjustable rear sight, allowing precise point-of-impact tuning.
Chambered in .45 ACP, this Model of 1989 uses moon clips for rapid loading and positive extraction. It also accepts .45 Auto Rim, adding versatility for those who prefer rimmed cartridges. The cylinder is a six-shot, fluted stainless unit finished to match the frame and barrel.
Factory rollmarks include "MADE IN U.S.A. MARCAS REGISTRADAS SMITH & WESSON SPRINGFIELD, MASS." and the S&W logo on the left sideplate. The yoke cut is stamped 625-6, and the barrel is clearly marked "45 CAL MODEL OF 1989." There is no key-operated internal lock window present on this example.
Ergonomics are enhanced by a black rubber finger-groove monogrip with a molded S&W logo, offering a secure hold and control under recoil. Overall, this configuration highlights the Model 625-6's practical features and the strong lineage of S&W's .45 ACP wheelguns.
