I HAVE A 4" 625, MODEL OF 1989, IN .45ACP. I DON'T THINK MANY WERE MADE IN THAT BARREL LENGTH--UNLESS PEOPLE JUST DON'T SELL THEM. I PURCHASED MINE OFF GB, ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO. I HAVEN'T SEEN ONE FOR SALE SINCE THEN. I HAVE SEEN A HANDFUL OF THE 3" AND 5" VERSIONS ON GB, HOWEVER.….

IT MAY BE MY FAVORITE S&W REVOLVER. (OF COURSE, I SAY THAT SAME THING ABOUT A FEW OTHERS) THE .45ACP CARTRIDGE REALIZES ITS FULLEST POTENTIAL, WHEN SHOT FROM A REVOLVER. IT HAS A SUPERB TRIGGER, AND IS DEADLY ACCURATE. I DON'T USE MOON CLIPS AT ALL, AS IT IS A RANGE SHOOTER. I LIKE THE FACT THAT I DON'T HAVE TO CHASE BRASS, AND IT HAS NO IL. WHAT'S THERE NOT TO LIKE ? ? ?

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR RUGER (WHICH I BELIEVE IS A GREAT BARGAIN IN 1911s), AND YOUR NEW JM 625…...
