I bought a new 625 model of 1989 3" barrel when at a PD store in LA. Saw it, liked it, bought it, even though I did not go there to by it (went there for a 3914-still my primary carry piece today). After several years, I became less enamored with it and thought about selling it. I put off any sale having no one close that wanted it at the time. Over the last 15 years or so, I have come to like short barreled 'N' frames and have acquired several others. As you may have heard, they are somewhat hot right now. Had I sold it, I would have to kick myself directly in the posterior or have someone do it for me. Keep what you have (unless you really hate it) and save for others.....IMO
