Nice acquisition from GB. I found a 1988 model about 6 months ago that came with great looking Combats but they were way too big for my hands so I sold them to one of our highly respected forum members. They are great shooting guns & so accurate. That's a beautiful 3" you have there also. 4" next for you?

Beautiful 625's you got there 1911, wish I had that 3"
This is my 4" 625-3 Model 1989, with an unbelievable action job, outstanding accurate shooter.

Another Model of 1988. I wish I could afford a set of wood combats to put on this baby.

I think you made a double score. 1) a 625-2 Model of 1988, and 2) a nice pair of wood combats! The original gun almost certainly had Pachmayrs!
Congrats

Is there a difference between the models of 1988 and 1989?
My only .45acp revolvers are a 1917 and a JM, but I do like the looks of that 3" model of 1989.
Thanks.

How about 625's and cousins?
I bought both the 25-2 and the 625-2 new for $230 and $399 respectively. The others? A bit more.
Adios,
Pizza Bob

Yes there are differences. The Models of 1988 have stamped markings on the barrel vs. 1989s which are laser-marked. The 5" barrel 1988 has a ramp front sight; 1989 5" has Patridge. The 1988s were built with a 'floating hand' which some people had problems with. Finally, some(too many)of the 1988s had cylinders that needed to be finish-reamed to cure poor extraction. Most of the problems have been fixed over the last 25 yrs.

Thanks a bunch for the explanation. I like the JM, but will still keep an eye out for one of the others.

I have a pair of 625's. One is a Model 625-6 Model of 1989 with a 5" barrel. After purchasing my first one, a Model 625-8 JM Special with 4" barrel, I liked it so well that I went to the OGCA Show hoping to find one. I found a nearly new one from an estate sale. We reached an agreeable price and was the only one I saw there. Talk about timing...
My favorite all time revolver is the JM Special:
Here is the 5":
This is why I REALLY like these revolvers - 25 yards standing with the JM Special:
I tuned the actions myself with a JM Spring Kit for each and set them with 9.0 lbs. double action and 3.0 lbs. single action. They will handle all of the major primers without issue.
The O.P. will no doubt thoroughly enjoy his fine revolver.
