How about a Mountain Gun thread?

[w1mnk]

I have a 625 45LC and 629 MG and they are both awesome. I haven't had a chance to look, but I would love to find a 625 45ACP MG. I probably have enough cash stashed to buy it!!

Thanks, Jon

I shot the .45 Colt today, it's a decisively better gopher stopper than the .45ACP.

Picked this little guy up on Thursday. A 625-6 that I got for a sweet price. I bought the replacement grips from Eagle at the NRA Meeting yesterday. Fits my hand so much better now!

I hated to do it, but i listed this for sale today. A big medical bill leaves me no choice.
Oh well. Thats life i guess. The balance on these are sweet

Here is a 686 project I done.

Very Cool Thread! Would it be appropriate to suggest adding info on which ones were made in which years. I know the 29s and 629s span several years, but the odd .45ACP and .41 Mag ones only came around once in a while I believe. What about info on the numbers manufactured? (or I could just shut up and look at the pretty pictures)

Bullseye Smith............I can tell from your pics that the frame is a 686-5, but tell me about this barrel...........right contour.........different markings!

Not an official Mountain gun but this works for me. 629 - 44 mag.

I was thinking about getting a pair of those 60 Pro grips also. Where and how did you find them? I assume they fit a round butt and have a partially covered backstrap.

I just called Smith & Wesson and told them I wanted grips like the ones that come on the pro-series Model 60. I had the SKU of the gun available (SKU: 178013) so it was easy for them to look the grips up. I think the 3-inch adjustable sight Model 60 with the underlug looks better with the Pro grips than the Pro Model does! It handles really well with the Pro grips too.

Looks like a lot of people besides me like the concept of the Mountain Gun. I currently own three. I first purchased a 25-13 in .45 Colt. Great gun, except it's blued (holster wear possible) and it has the ugly lock.

Then I found a stainless 625-9, also in .45 Colt. Now the holster wear problem is solved, but it still had the ugly lock.

Here's a shot of these two guns:

FINALLY, I found this one. It's a 625-6, with certain modifications to make it, in my opinion, ideal. I junked the plain black ramped sight for one with a red insert, obtained from Midway. Next, I got read of the "tear drop" cylinder release in favor of the old style. This is mostly aesthetic, but I think my thumb gets a better purchase with the old style. Then I got a pair of Ahrends Retro Targets. Couldn't ask for better with a holster gun. Pretty and practical. Finally, I had Nelson Ford do one of his primo action jobs on the gun so it's smooth as glass in double action fire. I think what I have here is ultimate trail gun:

Very nice 625 Paladin!
One of my favorites for sure.

On the box is a product number, 163604 and a longer number on the UPC code, 2218863604. Does that help?

Whelenshooter,
Did you get a SKU for the grips alone? If so can you share it?

THanks
