New-to-Me S&W 625-6

[Bklyn_Irish]

625-8 .45ACP, Bianchi leather holster, two dozen moonclips, Brownells de-clipping tool- $650

I think I did fairly decent.

 

[zipty6]

I'd say you did quite well.

 

[DFrame]

You did well indeed. Conratulations!

 

[Tanners Owner]

Yup, you did well. Congrats. Now take it shooting and let us know how it does

 

[75Vette]

That was better than fairly decent. Very sweet deal. Congrats

Had her out for 100 ten minutes after the sale was complete. The fix was in last week after shooting a JM 625. Stumbled across this deal minutes after that and got around to meeting the guy today.

Not much difference in this trigger and that on the JM, which was surprising. Consistent throughout. It was a tackdriver with Department-issue 230gr. WWB.

All that said, my eyes will prefer a fiber optic or bead front sight, or perhaps a three-dot system. Straight black sights are simply too dark for me inside.

Congratulations,awesome!

FAIRLY DECENT ? ? ? YOU MUST BE JOKING ! ! !

IF YOU PAID ANY LESS, IT WOULD BE CONSIDERED ROBBERY. THAT IS QUITE A SCORE, ON A GREAT REVOLVER, AND ACCESSORY PACKAGE. CONGRATULATIONS, AND BEST WISHES ARE IN ORDER......

IMHO---THE TRUE ACCURACY OF THE .45 ACP CARTRIDGE, IS NOT REALIZED UNTIL YOU SHOOT IT OUT OF A FINE REVOLVER......

 

[robertrwalsh]

That was definitely a NOT TOO SGABBY acquisition. I have a 625 in 5" that can shoot MUCH better than I can hold. Fine weapon. I am sure you will enjoy yours very much.

 

[Bill In Texas]

I'd say so too Bklyn_Irish! Sounds like a good deal and a nice gun!

 

[ISCS Yoda]

In another thread someone called that kind of a deal one that could only be accomplished by Jesse James, the bank robber. So, yep, ya dun gud!!!

FAIRLY DECENT ? ? ? YOU MUST BE JOKING ! ! !...

This ^^^ In spades.

I like the slightly matte finish, too. I have a 5" but it's glossier. Any idea who made the grips?

 

[surfj40]

look like the Ahrends I have on my 625

Yes- I thought that after I had posted. I have Ahrends retro combats on mine, although even they don't feel quite "right" for my hands. (Not a criticism of Kim's work, though.)

I need to take them off and see if they're marked. I have the original stocks as well.

That was a good deal alright. Yesterday, I picked up a 625-8 (JM), 4", little use, no box or anything else for the same price you paid. There was a 4" -6 and it had a $950 asking price.. I THOUGHT I got a good deal! (-:}

THEY LOOK LIKE AHRENDS TO ME. BE CAREFUL TAKING THEM OFF. THEY FIT TIGHTLY, AND PRYING THEM WITH A TOOL, WILL RUIN THEM.........

 

[Bklyn_Irish]

Any recommendations for fiber optic/tritium front sights, or perhaps three-dot systems for the 625-8?

 

[series guy]

Here's my sight system and some modified Ahrend's.

I am happy with the Hi-Viz front sight on my JM. Bob
