A few of mine...

Hey, how did you get pictures of my gun?:D Great taste in grips. Amazing how similar they look. I only use those grips when taking her out for a photo shoot. If I am taking her to the range, it rubber all the way, those wood grips tend to hurt me more then I like.
 
Nice pics. My 625-6 was stolen in a burglary a few months ago, and I sure do miss it. I'm having a 4" 629-4 converted to 45 ACP/AR by Bowen right now, and look forward to getting it and putting rounds downrange.
 
Hey... y'all forgot one!

It has a tritium night sight, 2.75" barrel, and is Al/Sc framed and weighs <30 oz. Oh yeah, it'll also chamber and fire .45 Schofield & Colt as well as 2.5" .410 shells.

No need in posting a picture of my 625JM - there have been a few of them already.

I have one .45 ACP revolver... a 625-2 which I bought in 2009. Being ignorant... I let it sit in the case at the LGS for a while. It sat there along with a 625-4... and then I got some sense and bought the 625-2. With plain Jane Winchester 230 gr. FMJ ammo it will keep 50 shots inside of 4 inches at 25 long steps. At 40 long steps it will routinely hit a 6 inch aiming square on a rifle type sight-in target. It handles the WOLF steel cased ammo just as well as standard brass cased ammo, which for me is a real advantage as the WOLF is about $25/100 while the Winchester is $36/100. When I'm out in the woods/fields walking and plinking, being able to let the casing hit the ground is for me an advantage. I must say that even for a S&W, this revolver demonstrates a most remarkable SA and DA trigger. I've never had to adjust the sights because from the first round POA was POI at my normal shooting distances, i.e., 7-25 yds. I am not supremely thrilled with the Hogue grips that came on it. But they fit my hand well and give me very good results at the range. Currently the Hogues are on the revolver. But I suspect that down the road I'll be looking at a pair of Elk horn grips... white w/ no "bark." I figure that will look real nice. Here is a link to some pictures: S&W 625-2 - a set on Flickr

I used to let her wear some Pachy Presentaion grips:

I find that Ahrends with finger grooves fit my hand like they were custom fitted to me. And the gun is heavy enough that I feel like it just soaks up most of the recoil. Most of what I feed her are my own cast bullets. I cast 200gr SWC's and 200gr RNHP and load either of them with 5.5 gr of Win 231. I love either load.
 
Here is a pic of my 5" M-625. It is soon to be converted to a 4" Mountain Gun. I think that will make it a whole lot easier to pack around. I am also going to remove the safety lock and install the "Plug".....

Sorry you lost one. I'll be looking forward to hearing about your conversion. I've been kicking around a similar project.
 
Well, since no one has shown one yet...

Here is a picture of my bullseye revolvers - the bottom two are my 45 ACPs, one a Model 1989 and the other a very early (one of the first 100) JM models from the PC. Both wear Nill Hemphill PPC grips. The 1989 shoots superbly, but I'm still trying to work up a good 50 yard load for the JM. Both have extraordinarily smooth actions and are very easy to shoot DA in timed and rapid.
