Smith & Wesson Model 625 N Frame Cylinder 6-Shot .45 Colt Stainless, Part# 62576A
Smith & Wesson Model 625 N Frame Cylinder 6-Shot .45 Colt – Part# 62576A
This is a genuine factory Smith & Wesson 6-shot cylinder for the N Frame Model 625 revolver chambered in .45 Colt. A used stainless steel cylinder in serviceable condition — a hard-to-find, high-value component for restoring or building a .45 Colt Model 625.
Important: This cylinder is chambered in .45 Colt — not .45 ACP. The Model 625 was produced in both calibers. Always verify your revolver's chambering before ordering. A .45 Colt cylinder will not safely chamber .45 ACP cartridges and vice versa.

Note: Cylinders are caliber-specific and must match your revolver's chambering exactly. The .45 Colt and .45 ACP are distinct cartridges — do not attempt to use a .45 Colt cylinder with .45 ACP ammunition or vice versa. Model numbers are stamped on the frame behind the yoke when the cylinder is swung out. Contact us with your serial number if you need help confirming your model's chambering.
