Got a new toy (625 in 45 acp JM version)

Will do a range report when it gets warm enough to.

I've tossed the idea of a .45 acp revolver around more than once. I like the Thunder Ranch editions Smith had a while back. Definitely let us know how that bad boy shoots.

Looks really nice,Pat. I'm going back and shooting my wheelguns more and more these days. Just plain fun.Let us know how she does.

I'd love to pick up a vanilla .45ACP revolver. I really like the idea and already use the ammo.

I just can't stand the JM crap all over the gun. I once heard another shooter liken shooting a JM gun to making love to a woman with some other guys name tattooed on her thigh.

I wish S&W still sold the vanilla 625s. The OOP guns are getting harder and more expensive to find.

I had a 625 but sold it due to the need for moon clips.

That said it's an outstanding revolver and you can't go wrong owning one.

That is why I like it the ability to reload twice as fast. Its mostly going to be a competition gun, however if I had to carry a revolver in real life it would be a 625 in 45 acp.

Nice revolver, I have always been a big fan of the 625 (mine is in .45 Colt). I also like the 625's predecessor, the Model 1955.

Did you switch out the grips? I was under the impression the JMs all came with the rounded off wood stocks.

The previous owner switched the grips because he did not like the feel of them. I agree. I wish they were there for collectability however.

Great looking wheel gun! The 625 is on my short list of handguns to buy. Looking forward to the range report.

My 625 is my favorite wheelgun. I had a 5" but sold it and have regretted it ever since and still have a 4" that I use for IDPA. I have the Miculek grips on mine. You can actually buffer down the finger grooves on those grips to resemble the looks of the Miculek's and they are nice for shooting.
