The ultimate .45 ACP revolver?

[deanodog]

That is a beauty for sure.I like my Thunder ranch 22-4. It is like a model 10 on steriodswith it's tapered barrel and fixed sights and nice blueing.Nothing fancy like those others but it shoots great and handles great. I sold a M 625-8 and kept it.

I haven't found anything that beats my 3" 625-3

or the 3" 625-6 Lew Horton

One of these is going to the range this weekend.

I just sold my 625 model of 1989 with a 4" barrel.
I prefer the 5" barrel myself and if I ever see one I will buy it, if I have the cash ready.

RollinHot, are those factory grips? I have a set laying around here somewhere just like that that came on a buddies 3" 625. He was told they are rather sought after but he didint like them so he gave them to me.

To fire or not to fire...

brucey had something in his post about 'This revolver easily handles .45 ACP cartridges without moon clips, with 100% ignition. Of course, full moon clips make it all the better, and it will accept .45 Auto Rim rounds as well.'

Stainz had it that a 625 jimmy wouldn't fire loose acp.

Im no expert but golly, doesnt that violate some contract made to do so?

I would think he would be bent a bit over that.

Would it be a case of headspacing?

Could a tiny shim be shoved in there?

Thanks ghitch75.

I just saw the saami pdf of acp and the chambers can be .020 long.

Is there need for concern over the backslap to the frame/breech from a loose floating round?

I will probably shoot few more than a few loose rounds anyways.

Just new to DAs.

Getting more grips for it than mlady has shoes.

And holsters ...

My Governor is fun... but it's the new kid on the block. My early 625JM, like the 4" 625-8 that preceded it, is a frequent range bag occupant. Fun to plink away with, the picture below was in response to a range-mate's question regarding capacity - and reloads. The 105 loaded moonclips shown stow in 5 layers, with hardboard between, of 21 'clips in a metal .223 ammo box. I have two such boxes full and thirty odd more in tupperware boxes - 1,440 rounds before I have to reload 'clips. Now I can share them with the Governor. Zombies beware!

I bought my 625JM over seven years ago last month - and still can't find fault with it. Even the grips developed me as a champion - I put some on my 627 Pro - and the same HiViz sight, too. The 625JM is a great .45 ACP package.

I fell into the 625 trap thanks to AlleN-frame! I was able to pick up a -2 and a -3 in ACP and a -6 MG in LC. l have a 1917 headed my way. After shooting the 3 625s, it's gonna be a difficult decision to pick a favorite for some custom work. They all three are saweeet shooting irons!
