Hi, felllow S&W adapts!
I am not too familiar with forums but I have a question which I seem not able to solve myself.
Situation: I am shooting ipsc with an 625-2model of 1988. Shot to pieces by the pre-owner but i replaced several items and gave it a full trigger job resulting in 5pound DA at the moment of dropping the hammer.
It seems to be that the 6shot limit is going to be dropped in ipsc for minor shooters, and S&W has the new 929 8shot 9mm.
But ...... my 45 is pre lock and pre MIM and running beyond great.
My idea is to fit a 929 9mm cylinder in the 625 and put on a replacement barrel (with the same weight length and profile of a 627 classic hunter).
Question: I somewhere read that in a 8shot N frame the chambers are on a different diameter than in the standard 6shot. From an engineers point of view I really cann't see why because the frame ain't standard anymore.
Does someone know how it really is, I don't want to step into the new generation unless I have to (can't have both, we have a limit of 5 by state law)
Thanks ahead!
