Recently picked up a Jerry Miculek Special 625-7 and took it Bullseye shooting today, the first time I've shot Bullseye in 2 years.




25 yards offhand using single action only I got this result.



Now that I have the gun, I can start using up all the target ammo I have in storage. Very challenging, but very fun.

Shooting an N frame with big heavy bullets is just plain fun.
That's a good group at 25 yards. If I finished the day with a group like that, it would be a great day.
 
Nice shootin[emoji6]

And you suck! I so want one of those!
 
Dad bought one of these used many years ago and durned near had a heart attack when he found what they were worth today.
 
I don't want to split hairs, but that doesn't look like a 625 JM. It appears to be a 5" 625-7 PC. Nice shooting.

Adios,

How did it work for the rapid fire segment of the match?
 
Great shooting and that's a fine revolver that I have never seen before.
As a bullseye shooter, is there any crossover interest with PPC? I would think of the other competitions that would be closer than say IDPA or USPSA. Just curious b/c my range has an informal (25yd max) PPC match every month and it's the same 5 people that show up. The bullseye match usually has 20+ people on the line.

Didn't get that far. I was having enough trouble staying steady for slow fire. I'll do timed and rapid next session.

I used to shoot Bullseye matches for years. Mostly semi auto though. I did however shoo it a few times with my .44 and the timed and rapid fire sessions were a hoot ! Give it a try, if nothing else, you'll have fun!

According to S&W it is called a Jerry Miculek Special.

Do you have the box with the product code on it? The only reference that I can find to a 625JM, other than the current full underlug 4" model, is to a model called the 625-6 Jerry Miculek Design, made in 2001 for Camfour distributors. These had a serial number prefix of "CJM".

I was basing my identification on the picture shown on page 356 of the SCSW simply captioned "625PC".

Sorry, no box and no product code. Serial number is JMR00XX. This is the third one in this series I've owned since 2006, both of the others under JMR0100 as well.

Go to Supica and Nahas, Page 197, bottom right corner. I personally believe mine is a product code 170176, with different grips, even though it is a 625-7 and not a 625-5. The picture at the bottom of the page is of a -7, not a -5.

Here is a picture of mine with its original grips

I have fond memories of when eyes and nerves would let me do that. Unfortunately it's been awhile. Nice shooting.

I'm not shooting Bullseye regularly now as well, and have not for 2 years. I was not progressing as I thought I should. At 62 I was just shy of High Master but knew I'd not make it. BUT, I find practicing Bullseye shooting informally is very helpful. Two hands and shooting fast can mask a whole host of mistakes and problems. Off hand at 50 and 25 yards strips all that away and shows you (in glaring detail) where you need to improve.

Keith:

What edition are you referencing. Page 197 in the 3rd edition falls in the Model 29 section.

The 170176 Product Code you reference is for the 625-6 Camfour specials. With an engineering change (-6 to -7) the Product Code would have changed also.

However, your serial number prefix would seem to indicate that it is some type of Jerry Miculek model. Maybe this will get cleared-up in the fourth edition. Nice gun regardless.

Adios,

This gun is definitely; 1) a Performance Center gun(with aluminum case), 2) heavily influenced by Jerry Miculek's input(he asked for short cylinder and broach cut rifling to facilitate lead bullets, 3) a mistake in SCSW #3 which will be corrected in volume 4, 4) serial numbers starting JMR means Jerry Miculek Revolver.

I bought mine NIB in 2002 and used it briefly in USPSA revolver class. I went back to 625 5" full underlug guns for USPSA and put JMR0158 in the safe. The only quibble I have with the original design is the "Jerry" stocks for Bullseye shooting. I personally know two people who used these 625-7s in USPSA very successfully.

I recently sold mine to a forum member who hasn't shot it yet.

I found the same thing. As soon as I saw his first pic, I knew I WANTED one and looked it up. All I found was the -6.
