M 625- 45ACP roll call

[Tanners Owner]

Been shooting my M625-8(JM) at our monthly IDPA and ASI matches recently and am really enjoying it. Has been a while since I used it for a variety of reasons but I’m glad I brought it out of semi retirement. Just love it’s accuracy, reloading ease and it shoots “big boy bullets”

I replaced the mainspring and TRS with the Wilson kit with good results. I also have a green FO front sight and VZ round to square grips on it.

It now has me hankering for a 22-4.

So who as a 625 in 45 ACP, how do you like it and what do you use it for?

I bought new 3" and 5" guns more than twenty years ago and shoot them regularly with cast bullets mostly at 25 yards, bullseye style. These guns did so well, I bought a new 22-4 not long after they came out fifteen (?) or so years ago. Another good cast bullet gun. I seldom use ACP brass, much preferring Auto Rim.

I've never really done a side-by-side accuracy comparison, but my '70s 25-2 may be slightly more accurate than the newer guns.

I don't shoot my 625-2 as much as I should, sooo much fun though.

I’ve got a 5” 625-3 that I shoot pretty regularly. Just target shooting at the range, nothing competitive. It’s a great gun to shoot, and accurate. I just recently started shooting .45 Super in it on occasion. I really like shooting moon clipped revolvers and have several others, including a 1917, 1937 Brazilian Contract, 5” and 6” Model 610’s and a Ruger SRH in 10mm.

I have a 5”625-2 and 3” 625-3. I use the former for plinking and the latter as an occasional CCW.

I'm a huge fan of 45acp revolvers. My preferences lie with older guns, but I bought a 625-2 (Model of 1988) because a great deal presented itself, and I decided to go for it. Turns out that I found a gem of a revolver. Pictured with the 625 are a couple of its predecessors, a model 1950 (pre-26) and a Model 1955 (pre-25). I also have two Model 1917's from S&W and Colt. Shooting with moonclips makes them even more fun. The BMT tool makes loading and unloading the clips a breeze, and you'll forget the cost once you use it.

My wife likes our 3" -3 the best of all our guns.

Reporting in.
My most used revolver:

Shot it yesterday in a club match. 24 degrees! No one did very well!

 

[CHARLIE699]

Wanted a 5" but could not find one in my range. Been enjoying my 4"

Maybe if I concentrate on a 3" I'll find the 5???

I have a 5”625-2 and 3” 625-3. I use the former for plinking and the latter as an occasional CCW.

That 3" is gnarly!

Big bore pocket guns are just plain cool!

I might like a 45 ACP revolver now and then. Here is a Model 625-6.

In this image, I have added a pair of conversion rb to SB stocks and a grip adapter. One of my favorites. Or at least one of the top 15!
