Lots of beauties posted here. Love 'em. However, I've been thinking of getting out of the .44 Special business. I have one Lew Horton 24-3 (3" barrel) with a superb action/trigger, one Ruger old model Blackhawk converted to .44 Spec (probably the smoothest/sweetest single action/trigger...

Great. Thanks. So, one need not be an ICORE member to win a firearm? (No big deal to me; just a departure from what I've seen in the past.) Lookin' forward to it. Gonna be a GREAT match!

Is that backwards? In my experience at ICORE Regional matches, you don't have to be an ICORE member to shoot, BUT you DO have to be a member to win a firearm. I reckon either way is fine with me, but just wondering. Larry NV2472

Match name has been changed ("upgraded"?) to be the "ICORE Southwest Regional". Same great match as MWC originally indicated.

Marine24, I agree. I too have wanted a 3" 625 for a long time. I actually bought a nice 25 (M1955) to shorten and customize. But then changed my mind and sold it in hopes of finding a somewhat reasonably priced 3" M625. No luck yet. Regrettably, I did pass up a M625-10 2" about three...

Agreed. I use .38 Short Colt for both ICORE and USPSA. ICORE minimum PF is 120. USPSA minimum PF is 125. My load is about 128 PF. Some folks want a bit more, which is no problem.

I realize this is an old thread, but I just noticed it. I was (and to some degree still am) a M625 .45ACP shooter for both USPSA and ICORE. But I finally "bit the bullet" and got a M627 after USPSA implemented the new rule to allow 8-shot revolvers (minor PF). Which case to use? I...

I only have one with jeweling: Just a personal preference, but seems to me it only looks right if the handgun is otherwise embellished/engraved.

I think my M317 (no dash) is a fairly early specimen. Serno CCK4xxx Cannot remember when I bought it; probably 1998 or 99 or so. In original press releases, I recall S&W indicated and pictured a pinned front sight and those pretty wooden grips. I was a bit disappointed that mine did not...

I don't think you are required to hate moon clips! But yes, "Classic" Div is for NON-moon-clipped SIX shot revolvers.

Contact info for engraver Mark Hykes, Sparks, Nevada: Call Silver Bullet Gun Works, 775-331-8228. Here's another example of his work. The first (of only two) I had him engrave. I wish now I had polished it before engraving and rebluing; would have been a prettier blue. But it still looks...

My Single Six .32 H&R Mag "Vaquerito" project: More pics at: SFA Photos - Category: Vaquerito project Engraving was by Mark Hykes in Sparks, Nevada (right next door to Reno.) Price was VERY good. If you would like contact info, I'll try to get for you.

Both Dillon Precision and Hogue list them for sale. Apparently, folks love 'em or hate 'em. I LOVE 'em!
