Congratulations on your new purchase.

That Revolver appears to be in great condition.

Please give us a Range Report after you shoot.

One was on Gbroker a few weeks back. I seriously considered it. Those aren't easy to find. Congrats!

Thanks for looking! Boats

This month the S&W population in my safe went from from 1 to 4. The new purchases all in 45 Colt. Must be a Navy thing.

I really like the Hogues with medallions. Not easy to find. Great looking gun! Congratulations!

It may be, I just acquired my third 45 Colt! All of my Smiths are 45 Colt.

Nice 625!
It took S&W so long to finally get serious about building a great 45 Colt, in no small part due the long standing rivalry between S&W and Colt. The early 25-5s often have their accuracy issues. The 25-5s under L-S ownership may have lost the pinned barrel, but shot amazingly! My brother had a late 25-5 with 8 & 3/8" barrel. We shot it out to 200 meters with cast bullets.
I hope your 625 is a total winner!

Congrats!

Thanks for all the comments and like's. It likes shooting the 45-270-SAA down range at 900 fps+.

Nice gun, ugly grips! (I hate HOGUE finger grooves).

 

[The Gila Bender]

Very nice, congratulations. I was fortunate to snag an SDS in August 2013 from a Forum member. Not NIB, actually a no-box shooter, but desirable nonetheless. Glad to have it! Enjoy!
