Gilroy Ca. is the 'self proclaimed' garlic capitol, there is a definite and distinctive aroma around town, depending on which way the wind is blowing

625JM are nice revolvers - but hard to find (low production?). I've had several on backorder for more than a year. Next one that comes in the shop is mine!

Gilroy - I was at Fort Ord in the 1980's and remember reading the local paper about a Garlic Festival? Beautiful country there.

Enjoy the revolver & don't let it go !

The Model 625 JM is one of my favorite revolvers that I own. It would be one of the last ones that I would want to sell.

I absolutely love my 625JM. I have had mine for about 6 months. Comes to the range with me every trip, which is usually once a week. It is one of the most inherently accurate guns I own. It has the absolute tightest lockup of any revolver I have ever owned...and I have a bunch.

It shoots groups like this all day in double action at 25' with the cheap Walmart Federal Aluminum and Winchester White Box. It is just an absolute sweetheart, a real treat to shoot.






And when you really focus



I also take advantage of the quick change front sight. I frequently switch out the factory gold bead sight, which I like quite a bit, for a HiViz fiber optic sight.

Definitely one of my favorites. Enjoy it.

There are actually a ton of them out there. Dozens on Gunbroker. Some really good deals too. It is not uncommon for excellent condition used ones to go for $650 to $700. New ones for $750. All the major dealers on the internet have them as well in stock. Bud's, Kentucky Gun Co, etc.

Congratulations on the new Revolver. I do not own a JM Revolver buy I do have the JM grips on my Competitor. They are the best feeling and shoot ability grips for my smaller hands. Love those grips.

Ditto, on the HI-Viz front sight. It helps us older guys to shoot better! (so I think)Bob
