I know everyone likes pictures, but unfortunately I don't have a digital camera.

but...... my 625-10 2" and my 325sc 2 3/4" put out the black on targets at 10-12 yards, slow fire. Round was 200 gr 45 auto rim PMC. Recoil was barely present. I had the black rubber large grips on the 625 and wood non factory on the 325.

Now I'm not a great shot. The tribute goes to these guns! The 325 is a hair more accurate than the 625,but they're both way beyond what you'd expect for short barreled defensive revolvers.

Action wise the performance center 625 is smoother overall but for defensive purposes each is fine. At 24(625)and 22(325)oz they feel great without much recoil at all.

Only problem ocurred at the end of the session with FTF because the 625 strain screw came loose.

For guns you'd like to look at a lot, carry a lot and shoot sparingly these are really beyond expectations.

Anyway one question;

I hear locktite (sp?) mentioned a lot. I've never used it. So If I used it on the strain screw, would I ever be able to loosen it again?

Thanks
Dave

I wouldn't use loctite, just snug it down. My 625-10 developed a crack in the frame under the barrel, so I suggest keeping an eye on that area. S&W replaced mine with a different PC gun (out of 625-10’s and frames), but I do miss my 625.

Chad,
Thanks for the reply. I thought my 325sc had a crack below the forcing cone. I sent it to S&W and they sent it back staing they had two "engineers" look at it and it was NOT a crack.

As i reported it shot fine last week. I'll definitely keep an eye on my 625-10. Of the two, I like the feel of it better. Oh and I prefer fixed sight big bores.

Thanks again
Dave
