.45acp revolvers?

[Sikvenum93]

Does anyone know of any .45 acp revolvers that could be concealed? Like a snub nosed one? The only. 45 acp wheel gun that comes to mind is the s&w 625.

Charter Arms was going to come out with a 45acp wheelgun. If they did I don't think it would available in California. Good luck.

S&W made some 625's with 3" barrels along time ago. I know they had a Performance Center version as well. They also had a 325 night guard with lightweight frame and fixed night sights. Long off the roster though.

They could pay to have it roster'ed. It would not have to have micro stamping, so it could be done. It would be a matter of Charter Arms thinking it would be worth it in sales.

Charter Arms' 9mm, .40, and .45 ACP revolvers should all be on roster by the end of 2015 if their representative is to be believed.

I like my snub-nose .45ACP revolver.
Lightweight and accurate. But, lots of felt recoil.
Can shoot .45ACP and .45GAP using moonclips.

Here are some quick cell phone pics of size comparison between my S&W Model 325PD (2.5") and Glock 30 Gen 2.5.

How much did you pay for it if you dont mind me asking? Im not a recoil averse person so this gun interests me.

That thing is beefy! Nice looking revolver though!

I "stole" it, back in May 2008, for $408 OTD ($350 + tax + DROS).
It was in the consignment rack at local gun store.

S&W discontinued the Model 325PD (2.5") in 2009 and replaced it in 2010 with the Model 325NG Night Guard, which was then discontinued in 2013.
MSRP of 325PD = $899.99 / MSRP of 325NG = $1099.99

scandium frame with titanium cylinder equates to lightweight.

S&W Model 325PD (2.5") = 21.5 oz (unloaded)
Glock 30 = 26.5 oz (unloaded)

When you see that light gray color on cylinder you know it's titanium. The frame is a scandium alloy that makes it very strong, but very light.

I don't have that particular one (although I'd buy it in a heartbeat,) but have its two cousins, 360PD and 329PD. The 360PD is the hardest revolver to shoot of all the ones I have and all the ones I've ever tried. (with full power 357 loads.) Not only is it very light, but also the grip is very small.

You should try shooting it if you get a chance so you know what you're getting into.
