    45 ACP 625 Mtn Gun vs 625 PC

    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...

    Dirty Harry's 29-2 Ultimate Blu-Ray Collection

    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.

    +P ammunition in a model 25 classic

    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...

    M25-9 Production?

    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...

    Night Sights

    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...

    624 recall

    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.

    Lew Horton 624

    It's a personal decision... Just let me say that the 3" 624 is my favorite S&W carry N-frame ... just perfect in every way. I paid much less for mine, but those days are gone. The price you quote is about the going rate. Try to negotiate and get it down AMAP, but in the end you will have to...

    Ok..So Now I'm Angry...S&W Problems On New Revolver

    You might want to try conditioning your gun's bore with one of the high tech lubes, such as TW25B. It is made by Mil-Comm and extensively used by the US Military. The spray version makes a great bore conditioner and also eases bore cleaning. It works especially well with the shallow rifling...
