I'm on my second - excellent revolver for action pistol events, or even if you just want to use the same ammo in a revo and your 1911.

I see your two (a PC and a Model of 1989) and raise you a Model of 1950.

I'll have to fold. I only have a 625 (4") and a Model 1917.

The 625 is a great revolver.

I too am on my second one. After I sold my first I regretted it the day after and every day until I picked up the second one.

Do any of you have a problem using semi-auto shot 45 ACP brass in your revolvers?

And No John, I have never had any brass problems but I switched a long time ago to nickel only for matches.

BTW, the Pinto used to be a 4"

Edit to add, both of these are about 5 to 6 pound double action trigger pull

I have a 5 inch 625-6 in 45acp and use full moon clips. 625's are a great gun. It will fire any 45acp round you feed it.

I bought deluxe moon clip tool for it. It was well worth the 35 bucks.

5" Model of 1989
4" JM Model
1917

Best Moon Clip tool is from Middleboro Gun Shop.
Ranch Products best place for clips.

No.

 

[Scrivener]

Whether auto or revolver-shot, it all goes in the tumbler and then is finished up with a Lee Final Crimp Die.

No problems.

I like my 625 JM model.

The S&W 625 and the 45 ACP cartridge are a match made in handgun heaven.

My 625-2 Model on 1989 will digest and "crap" brass that I fed it. The gun in very versatile.

4 seasons has a used S&W 325 PD revolver with what looks like a3 inch barell and fiber optic sight. THe gun was priced around 600 and it had extra grips and moonclips, it looked in nice shape.

I think any revolver chambered in a basic semi-auto pistol round is cool.

the 625 is a great gun.......my shooting buddy has one and has never had a problem. i have a 25-2 and i have had it over 20 yrs and never had a problem. if you get the 625 you will love it.
