I would be allover a 625 with a 4.2" barrel for IDPA. 4.2" is the longest barrel allowed for IDPA in the US and would be legal to own up here in Canada. Right now the Ruger GP-100 is our only alternative if we intend to shoot a revolver in IDPA in the US. We have a Canadian Exemption to use 5 and 6 inch revolvers up here.
