S&W did NOT offer a program to cut 5" down to 4"; BUT a company in Ohio named SDM Fabricating did do it for lots of people who wanted 4" 625s. I believe they are still in business and make replacement front sights with fiber optics. So many people apparently complained that S&W dropped the 5" 625s but has made a lot of 4s. USPSA revolver shooters all use 627s or 929s now.
