I suppose there are several considerations, such as type of use. For carrying/defense, definitely the MG. For target/range use, then the PC wins. As far as the availability, price and the IL, that's more of a personal decision. The 625 MG in .45 ACP and .45 Colt are perhaps my favorite...

Haven't heard the Blu-Ray yet. But you are right ... there's nothing quite like the sound of that .44 in action in the original movie. I remember when it was first released back in '71 ... sitting there in the dark theater, spell bound when that honkin' 29-2 appeared in the opening scene.

Use the proper tool for the job at hand. It would be prudent to not subject your S&W 25 to a steady diet of +P ammo. That what FAs and Rugers are for. As Linebaugh points out, the S&W will take these loads [32,000 psi] safely, but such loads will greatly shorten the life of your gun...

The 25-7 is the Model of 1989 with a 5" barrel, matte (beaded) blue finish, unfluted cylinder and "crush fitted" unpinned barrels. As with the later production 25-5s, this model has correctly-sized throats. When the cylinder stops were lengthened in a later engineering change, this model was...

Pehaps turn one of my 696s into a fixed-sight model?

Re: Stainz and WardenRoss. Nothing takes the place of instinctive shooting in low light or the dark. Delta team members at Bragg do not use night sights, but practice enough in all conditions to be deadly accurate even without using the sights. Tritium sights could also possibly be used to...

Call Kate for free shipping of your 624 back to S&W. Shipping them both back together only makes sense to me if you are paying. Even if you have to pay for one Smith, I'd treat 'em like traveling execs ... separate flights in case the plane goes down. YMMV.

It's good to see a man who knows what he likes and likes what he knows. Great collection!
