I've ownsd a 625-8 PC for years. It's one of my favorite revolvers. And I also reload 45AR, which I prefer over moonclips.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

They were on ebay. Thailand made. Have had them since 2015 and don't remember the maker, or what I paid for them. They do feel real good in my hand. Bob May have been jaruwann?

GREAT JOB! and good looking 625! Bob
These are my favorite new Smiths! Wonderful revolvers!
Installed a Wilson spring kit this morning with no issues. Went with the #13 rebound spring. Having the specific tool for that task really helps. Also swapped the somewhat garish looking grips for Hogue rubber. Am going to put a scope mount and red dot on this evening or tomorrow morning. Have grandchild duty this afternoon. My other 625 (1988) is my iron sights shooter. It wasn't factory d&t.

Believe it was called the Miculek model (or at least that's what I remember). One of only 3 revolvers I've owned that had the lock.
Was a good shooter, but eventually traded it away to a good friend.
As for the grips, I'll just say they were interesting, so interesting that when I left the store with the gun the grips stayed there, not sure what they were trying to "say" with the multi-color treatment, but they just didn't connect with me. Anyway the guy handling the transfer to me (is also a long time friend) was thrilled to have them...
Ended up putting Spegels on it (surprised..??
