45 ACP Revolver Info Request

[OK Hog Shooter]

I have two 625s in hand and a Model of 1917 waiting to be picked up from my FFL. I don't find the moonclips to be an issue, but then I went ahead and purchased the proper tools. I find loading and unloading with the clips to be a breeze. I also have a 625 MG in Long Colt. Needless to say, I have both hands full. I've been looking for an M22 for the past coupla weeks... patience, grasshopper... patience.

Sapporo; I have sent you a PM.

Any of you that have the model 22 actually fire rimmed 45 auto in them? After doing a little research I found that ammo choices are limited and it's kind of hard to find. I find the moon clip gimmick kind of bothersome. I borrowed a buddy's Taurus Judge once and ran 45 auto through it using moon clips. First time I had ever had to use them in a weapon. Found it kind of clunky.

I use the RIMZ brand polycarbonate moonclips in my 22-4 and 625-8 with great success. Nothing 'clunky' about it. You can burn through a pile of 45 ACP fast with 20-30 loaded clips in the old range bag! I got a stellar deal on my slightly used TRR 22-4 a year back, and though I didn't pay $700 for it, I wouldn't sell it for that now!

A 625-4 is a .45 ACP. I have three of them and in my opinion they are the best version of 625 that was ever made. If you have a chance to buy one, go for it.

Dennis,
That is the exact revolver that I'm looking for. Impossible to find around me. What did they sell for new? Max Retail price? Thanks

I bought mine in 2010, and the price was $729. With the ship date of 2007, mine evidently sat on the shelf for a couple of years. At the time, I could have bought a similar Thunder Ranch edition, but I liked the plain utilitarian looks of the standard model.

The Ahrends stocks make it great to shoot, but I do like the Altamont version of the magnas. I think the originals are also Altamonts, but in the original service stocks silhouette.
