.45 ACP revolver recommendations

ginmaster
I need some guidance. I've been drooling over a .45 ACP revolver, but I haven't even gotten my hands on one yet. I'd like to buy the one that I'm going to fall in love with the first time. There are so many to choose from, like the S&W models 22, 325, 325PD, & 625s. I've kinda been looking toward a 4" barrel. I like the looks of them all but just don't know how they shoot. It would be a plinker/winter carry/possible companion hunting gun. Any thoughts? 325PD with a 4" barrel??

TIA

    Tell me more. I was worried that it might be too light. Does the front sight post hold up?

    Yes. The weapon is a thing of beauty and will funtion fine. The weight/ergonomics to recoil ratio is purt near perfect.

    Does it take moon clips? That would be one of the primary reasons for a .45ACP revolver. Joe

    I have a 5" S&W 625 and I love that gun. I have several S&W revolvers and it is one of my favorites and tends to get shot more than the others. It is very accurate and well balanced. I have not shot a 325 yet.

    I think the 325 would be a good choice. I would like one for a carry gun. The N frame S&Ws take much of the recoil out of a .45 and are a real pleasure to shoot. Practice ammunition is found fairly cheap, they'll eat anything. Here is my only .45 revolver, a pre 26, model of 1950 and I love it.
