    625-6: Need help finding a rear sight leaf

    I've been having difficulty finding a rear sight leaf for a S&W 625-6. I've looked at e gun parts, and a number of other places, with no success. Can someone please suggest a good source for spare parts for this pistol? Thank you for your help.

    Which models will S&W make in 2011 without the internal lock?

    If they are going to do it for LEOs they should do it for all of their customers. Imagine how many pistols they would sell if you could special order any current revolver without the internal lock.

    Which models will S&W make in 2011 without the internal lock?

    I have read they are increasing the number of models without the internal lock. Some appear to be special runs, if I remember correctly. Does anyone have a complete list of current and soon to be released models which are available without the internal lock? Thank you for your help.

    S&W Model 625

    How difficult is it to change a barrel on a 625? I noticed 5" barrels are available, is it worth the trouble to have a gunsmith change a barrel from 4" to 5"? With the right vise and other tools, it is possible to change it out without scratching anything, or do they normally get damaged when...

    S&W Model 625

    I would like the ability to put a fiber optic sight on the front, if I chose to in the future, without any gunsmithing. Something that screws on and off. I'm new to this, but I understand the 625 comes in a lot of varieties, so I'm trying to get one that will work well for me. I want a good...

    S&W Model 625

    625 Interchangeable front sights Other than the current JM, do any previous models of the 625 come with an interchangeable front sight? More to the point, did any pre-lock model with a 5" barrel come with an interchangeable front sight?

    S&W Model 625

    How does the 625-6 compare with the current 625-JM? There doesn't seem to be a lot of information on the JM model other than JM had input on it.

    S&W Model 625

    Looking for one, and trying to learn a bit about the differences to find the right one. Some people seem to like the 625-2. How is the 625-6 different from the other models?

    S&W Model 625

    I would like to learn more about the different models of 625 pistols. At what point in the model progression did the internal lock and MIM parts occur? What is your favorite model and barrel length? Do you recommend the round or square butt? What is the very latest model designation for the...

    686 dash numbers, best ones?

    How do these compare with the 6 shot 686s? Is there any difference in the loads you can shoot with a 7 shot versus a 6 shot? Is the diameter of the 7 shot cylinder thicker than that of a 6 shot? I'm wondering if there are any differences in the thickness of the area between each cylinder...

    S&W 629--ported vs. normal barrels

    My brother is looking at buying a "Raging Bull." Does anybody have any experience with the Taurus .44 magnum stainless pistols? How do they compare with the 629s and the Rugers?

    S&W 629--ported vs. normal barrels

    Actually it was Para who recommended the 629-4 to me. He mentioned it was because he didn't like the round butt on a magnum pistol, so I'm fairly certain the 629-4 has the square butt. Will the X-frame grip work on the square butt, or just the round one?

    S&W 629--ported vs. normal barrels

    How does the Ruger Redhawk compare with the 629, if neither are ported? I talked to someone today who sold his 629 to get the Redhawk. Why would somebody do that?
