It is a nice rendition of the 625. As much as enjoy the .45 acp, I am a fan of the .44 in wheel guns. I find the .44 mag to be extremely versatile, so I roll with 4" and 5" N frames:

I'm curious how well a .45acp chambered revolver would hold up to repeated shots of .460 or .45 Super. Obviously, the gun was never designed to withstand those increased pressures, or recoil stress. Then of course, I think what he was getting at was if you are going to shoot .45acp.......why not just use an autoloader which is lighter, more compact, faster shooting, and faster loading.
With a pistol chambered in .357/.41/.44 magnums, the gun was designed to handle that stress. With the .44mag, you can shoot loads as soft as you like, or go all the way up to deep penetrating 300gr loads at velocties between 1000fts-1200fps.
To the original poster, excellent work on that wheel gun.
