The 625 is so hard to find!

Indeed, the prices on GB and the like seem to be around $699 and up, and that's before shipping. So in general a used 625 is going for around $60 less than brand stinking new from the best priced dealer (some don't even charge extra for using your airline mileage plastic).

I'm all for buying used when conditions warrant but brand stinking new for $60 is worth paying in my budget's opinion.....then you don't have to deal with the "uh, where is the (insert oem offering) that is supposed to come in the box?"

You made a wise choice, finecognac. The 686 is readily available.

On second inspection, the gun looks like it has been fired with turn mark, although not much. Should never trust the dealer.

Is it still ok price ?

You did fine ! Enjoy the gun and don't worry about the price.........

I am the first to admit that overanalyzing is my MO, and then having some buyer's remorse if I did not get a screaming deal. But sometimes the energy saved by NOT looking and looking and searching and driving makes a price paid even better.

You now have a great revolver and the price paid was fair to middlin', but in the world of 625 it's actually pretty darn good.

Aren't they all test fired at the factory? My new Model 21 has a faint turn line straight out of the box.

Don't obsess - enjoy!

I have had this S&W #625-3 model of 1989 for about fifteen years, $250.00 lightly used back then. I swapped two Ruger Mini 30 fifty round magazines for the combat stocks. I sure do miss the old days!

So would $750 be too much to pay for this 5" specimen? It is a -3 and I'm online considering it now.

If you can find one for less, jump on it. They are seldom seen in my area. Was glad to finally get mine. Wasn't cheap. I've never been one of the lucky ones on here who makes a steal on really desirable guns.
