Model 625-2 recent purchase

[Fredo Corleone]

I recently won a local auction for a 625-2 $692 out the door.

You did good on that!
Any decent N frame at $700 is a no brainer.

I shoot a 625 PC with the shorter cylinder and mostly shoot 45 auto rim. For non-serious applications RIMZ makes easy to use moon clips which don't require a tool to remove the spent cartridges from the clips.

Good deal Fredo. I bought a 625-2 Model 1989 5" last month for a good bit more money. Only difference I see is mine has the Patridge front sight.

Nice score,
I paid a bit more for mine a few months ago, and I didn't get a box

 

[BloodyThumb]

VERY good deal. I paid just under $500 for mine… but that was way back when they were still being produced. One of my favorites.

+1 to this

I just started using their moon clips with a 25-2, and aside from having to trim a smidge of the inside of each clip to fit my round ratchet, these things work very well for range use

I've been watching these lately and that's a great score for a gun that's in very good condition with box

Won at auction. The rest of the bidders musta been asleep at the switch at closing time. Great buy or should I say great steal. Anyway congrats on your find. I know when I sold mine, they brought lots more at auction.

Great price. The -2 had the roll marked barrel. Replace the floating hand and you will have the best of both worlds.

Bought my 625 Model 1988 a long while back. Most accurate revolver I own. Congratulations on a great purchase.

I have been thinking about new grips. A tough decision has to be made. Probably wood with finger grooves.

I never liked the Pach Grippers that those shipped with, just felt cheap. I put some VZ round-to-square conversions on it, feel much better to me and look clean as well, without being super expensive. Enjoy your new gun, I absolutely love my 625 5"

My suggestion for new stocks.

Wood,



Antler,



Magnas and grip adapters are a perfect fit in my hand.

I like the hogue wood monogrip without finger grooves on my 4 inch 625pc

I have one of the 1501 625 Classic 5" .45 Colt revolvers. You are right the most accurate revolver I own, bar none.

 

[Gregcon57]

Hogue wood grips for me.

 

[KurtC]

625-4 with Performance Center upgrades. Factory combats fit my hand perfectly.

Agree about the Grippers but I really like the older Pach Presentation grips. Ones made before Pach started putting the medallion on the grips.

 

[Birdhunter6]

Beautiful examples guys!

I really regret a 3" 625 I let go in the early 90s.

My 625 is newer but that does not keep me from liking it. 625-8 JM. And I use RIMZ Poly Moon Clips. Do have Ranch Product clips as well. Bob

The 625-2 I bought new and it is a Model of 1988.

Adios,
