Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Model 625-3 is a distinctive and collectible variant of S&W’s stainless-steel .45 ACP revolver that blends classic big-bore wheelgun durability with a more compact, carry-friendly barrel length and late-20th-century production refinements. Part of the Model 625 family, which was introduced in 1988 as a stainless successor to older large-frame wheelguns and notable for firing .45 ACP via moon clips while also accommodating .45 Auto Rim or loose rounds (with manual extraction), the 625-3 specifically refers to a revision made early in the model’s life when Smith & Wesson adjusted features like the cylinder stop notch and other minor internal components; these changes were part of ongoing engineering updates that differentiated successive dash numbers. The “Model of 1989” 625-3 is most commonly encountered with a 3-inch barrel, making it significantly more compact than the original 4- and 5-inch offerings and more suitable for concealed carry or defensive use, yet it retains the robust N-frame stainless construction and six-shot capacity that give it commanding presence and recoil-absorbing mass. Typical examples carry adjustable rear sights and a ramped front sight, most often on a pinned barrel with a matte or bead-blasted stainless finish and fitted with wooden or rubber grips that suit both duty and recreational shooting. Because it was introduced during a relatively narrow production window and isn’t as commonly seen on dealer floors as later 625 variants, the 625-3 (especially in the 3-inch configuration) enjoys a modest following among Smith & Wesson enthusiasts who value its smooth double-action/single-action trigger, stout .45-caliber performance, and relatively rare “short-barrel big revolver” niche within the broader Model 625 lineage.
