I will have to agree with about everyone else. If you are going to load smaller batches of several claibers the 550 would be the way to go. If you are going to load larger amouts at a time the 650 may work better for you. I have both and currently have the 650 set up for 45acp since my main...

Looks great! good job. :) Greg

It was in there before or the double action didn't work and the 686 hammer will look the same. I can pop the side plate off my 686 and take a pic if needed. Greg

WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER! The double action sear is missing, you should have a spring and a little black lver looking thing left over. Greg

Really? :rolleyes:

I've seen them from a fair chamfer to none, S&W QC is all over the place. In the last year I have bought a 625JM, 625PC and a 686SSR, a couple things have decided is quality is potluck and PC doesn't mean anything. For competition I use Comptac for my 625's and 686's and auto's anymore as...

I have a 625JM that I shoot IDPA with and like it. I have done an action job and put a fiber optic front sight on it and have put a few thoudsand rounds thru it. I have larger hands and hated the JM grips, with minor power loads they are ok but shooting major power loads especially in hot...

When you insert the stirrup hold at 12 o'clock to the hammer and push it straight against the hammer and then rotate it to 9 o'clock as shown.

I don't know what comeptitions you are shooting with your M-64 but in IDPA moon clips will put you in ESR and you will have to shoot major power factor loads (a min of 1044fps with a 158gr bullet) which you may or may not want to do, if you are going to shoot ESR a 625 is probably the way to go...

I have them on 2 625's and a 686, I bought them from S&W. Speed Shooters Specialties listed them for a while but were the same price as S&W, SSS no longer has them though. Greg

The older JM's may have been forged but the newer JM's have MIM internals as do the 625PC's. Greg

I think the poster noted that the same ammo was shot in each gun, his ammo was shot in each gun then they shot his freinds ammo in each gun. Greg

Cylinder gap as mentioned another reason may be that your PC model has cut rifling and the 625-8 has the EDM rifling which is probably a little faster because of less friction on the bullet. I have a 625-8JM which has the EDM rifling and a 625PC which has cut rifling, in the next couple weeks I...

Me I hate them, I put Houge X frame grips on mine. I use mine for IDPA and the JM grips are to thin and crawl around in my hand pretty bad and that's with dry hands I would hate to try them this weekend. I did shoot a 686 with them on there and it wasn't horrible but when someone offered me $50...

In IDPA a speedloader holder, mag pouch or holster that has a flap or retention strap it has to be fastened / snapped or whatever at the buzzer. Greg
