What frame size is S & W Model 625-6?

[dentodoc]

A friend and I have this argument going. He says his model 625-6 is an L frame, but I say it is an N frame size. Could someone who knows, please set us straight! Thanks.

The 625-6 was made from 1993 to 1997.

At that time, the only L-frame guns were the 581/681 and 586/686.

The 625 is an N-frame.

Friend still doesn't believe you? Check "The Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson" by Supica and Nahaus, second edition.

ANY S&W 625/25 is going to be an N-frame. Just like my 629 or my grandfather's Highway Patrolman or my dad's 625 .45 ACP Mountain Gun. I don't believe Smith has produced a .45 on anything other than the N-frame, but would like to be corrected if I am wrong.
